Pull Request Flow & Code Review Efficiency

Today we’re announcing two new dashboards that give engineering managers a full picture of how delivery flows, and how code gets reviewed along the way.

Pull Request Flow

  • PR throughput, size distribution, and avg lines changed.

  • Cycle time broken down by coding, first review, approval, and merge.

  • PR size vs cycle time, to see where big PRs hurt flow.

  • Team-by-team comparison of cycle time and PR size.

Code Review Efficiency

  • Time to first review, time to approve, and merges without approval. With trend vs previous period.

  • A map of who reviews whose code.

  • Split between team reviews and cross-team reviews.

  • Review speed per team.

  • PR size vs comments, to spot PRs that overwhelm reviewers.

Use them to find the stage slowing delivery, rebalance review load, and bring real data into retros and 1:1s.

DORA Metrics

Sweetr now has full support for DORA Metrics. DORA metrics are four key indicators of software delivery performance, developed by the DORA research program. Sweetr calculates these metrics from your deployment and incident data.

To enable this feature, Sweetr now tracks environments, applications, deployments and incidents.

Use it to

  • Catch regressions in delivery speed or stability early.

  • Track the impact of process changes with real data.

  • Give leadership visibility without manual reporting.

  • Set goals around outcomes, not just output.
