Velocity metrics
The top velocity metrics are:- Median wait-to-first-review: how long PRs wait for first human review.
- Average review cycles until merge: how many revision rounds PRs go through.
- Average PR cycle time: total creation-to-merge time.
- Average time in review: first review to final approval.
- Average time from approval to merge: post-approval operational delay.
A decreasing trend is positive — it means PRs are getting reviewed faster. The trend indicator
reflects this: a downward change appears in green.
Throughput metrics
- PRs merged per developer: average merged output for active authors.
- PRs reviewed per developer: average review load for active reviewers.
Code volume
Track lines added and lines deleted as activity context, not as a quality score.Lines of code are a measure of activity, not productivity. A large refactor that deletes more
lines than it adds can be more valuable than a feature with thousands of new lines. Use code
volume as context alongside the other metrics, not as a standalone indicator.

- Read metrics together to find bottlenecks.
- Large PRs naturally increase cycle times and review rounds.
