How do I get started with DevStats?

To get started with DevStats, sign up for an account and create your first squad to represent your development team. Next, connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account to integrate your repositories. Once connected, DevStats will begin importing your historical data, which may take some time depending on your repository size. After the import is complete, you can explore various dashboards to track key metrics like pull request cycle time, deployment frequency, and team productivity, unlocking deeper insights into your engineering performance.

What can I track with DevStats?

You can track essential metrics that help your squad deliver high-quality software faster and with greater predictability. Visualize pull request (PR) cycles, track sprint progress, and measure key performance indicators like cycle time, velocity, and DORA metrics. Identify bottlenecks, improve processes, and balance your code investment to ensure your team stays productive and motivated. DevStats helps you focus on high-value tasks, deploy faster with fewer errors, and continuously improve your development flow—all from one comprehensive dashboard.

How do I use DevStats to make continuous improvements?

To make continuous improvements with DevStats, start by identifying bottlenecks in your development process through detailed metrics like cycle time, PR activity, and deployment frequency. Next, set realistic benchmarks to improve flow, impact, and developer experience. Use DevStats to build a continuous improvement strategy, optimizing each phase of your squad’s workflow. Regularly review progress through our platform’s insights. Measure the impact of changes and refine processes to improve predictability and deliver great business impact.
