Productivity analytics (PREMIUM ALL)

You can use productivity analytics to identify:

  • Your development velocity based on how long it takes for a merge request to merge.
  • The most time consuming merge requests and potential causes.
  • Authors, labels, or milestones with the longest time to merge, or most changes.

Use productivity analytics to view the following merge request statistics for your groups:

  • Amount of time between merge request creation and merge.
  • Amount of time between commits, comments, and merge.
  • Complexity of changes, like number of lines of code per commit and number of files.

To view merge request data for projects, use Merge request analytics.
