Total Time: PRs Create → Merge

The total amount of time (in seconds) that all pull requests took from when they were first created until they were successfully merged into the main codebase.

Interpretation

  • Low Values (e.g., < 24 hours / PR) indicates very fast review and merge process but can also mean rushed reviews or insufficient quality checks. Verify review quality and thoroughness.
  • Medium Values (e.g., 24-72 hours / PR) seems like reasonable balance between speed and quality, common for well-functioning teams. Monitor for consistency and trends.
  • High Values (e.g., > 72 hours / PR) - slow review process may indicate bottlenecks, maybe too few reviewers available, complex changes requiring extensive review, process inefficiencies or team communication issues.
