Code Activities / Risks

Deep dive into your coding activities and delivery risks.

Purpose

This view is for team manger to see all the development activities and risks across teams and repositories. Moreover, extensive filtering can be used to slice and dice PRs across the organisation to follow the evidence and do quick investigations to validate standard process issues.

Improvement Actions: Logilica's pre-computed risk categories help to proactively manage PR processes before future problems, such as quality issues or delivery delays occur.

Cycle time: The PR lifecycle time from the first commit to being merged/closed.

Breakdown: The lifecycle breakdown of each PR showing its Coding, Response, Review, and Integration time.

Updated: The last time the PR was touched as recorded by your git provider.

Status: Ticket status as defined by GitHub/GitLab, etc.
