Merge Request Analytics (STARTER)

Introduced in GitLab Starter 13.3.

Merge Request Analytics helps you understand the efficiency of your code review process, and the productivity of your team.

Overview

Merge Request Analytics displays information that will help you evaluate the efficiency and productivity of your merge request process.

The Throughput chart shows the number of merge requests merged, by month. Merge request throughput is a common measure of productivity in software engineering. Although imperfect, the average throughput can be a meaningful benchmark of your team's overall productivity.

To access Merge Request Analytics, from your project's menu, go to Analytics > Merge Request.

Use cases

This feature is designed for development team leaders and others who want to understand broad patterns in code review and productivity.

You can use Merge Request Analytics to expose when your team is most and least productive, and identify improvements that might substantially accelerate your development cycle.

Merge Request Analytics could be used when:

  • You want to know if you were more productive this month than last month, or 12 months ago.
  • You want to drill into low- or high-productivity months to understand the work that took place.

Visualizations and data

The following visualizations and data are available, representing all merge requests that were merged in the past 12 months.
