Dogfood Value Stream analytics features and provide feedback
Goal
As we progress through &16028, we should look for ways to dogfood Value Stream analytics and identify potential features that can be added VSA that would benefit us analyzing MR cycle time.
Ideas to dogfood
- Looking at our snowflake dashboard for the Code review time reduction track, identify metrics that we can also visualize using VSA.
- Contribute any new value streams that would benefit our track, provide usability feedback during the process.
Feedback
Here are some examples of gaps that I think we should bring to the team. We can keep adding to this list:
-
Have we considered having an analytics tab inside an MR page and move critical data from VSA to the MR pages, such as:
- time from MR creation to MR merge, into the MR pages
- code review time
- etc
-
When adding a new value stream, I feel that some events are missing, such as reviewer's first engagement
-
I was looking for a stage that can tell me the time between “first reviewer assigned” and “first approval given”, is there a way for me to contribute?
-
The VSA line chart shows a daily aggregation on the data points. It'd be more flexible if we have other forms of aggregation, such as weekly, monthly, etc.
-
The “last 30 days” median is displayed in the summary view, but we are showing “average” for the data points displayed in the line chart.
