Innoface product development team uses Awesome Graphs for Bitbucket mostly for making data-driven management decisions. They find it very useful to:

• track the activity of each developer and a team in general;
• check if code review goes according to the plans;
• predict time to resolve pull requests.

Let’s see how Innoface benefits from using Awesome Graphs for Bitbucket.

Tracking team activity in Bitbucket

Activity graph helps Innoface have a high-level overview of the total number of commits and contributors in a specific period, for example, a week. It also provides an opportunity to track the number of open pull requests from all the contributors and the repositories.

Using this graph, the manager can assess the activeness of a contributor. This gives the manager an idea of whether an employee is following the company’s development policy or not as well.

Based on the number of open pull requests, the manager in Innoface can actually plan time to review the code and merge them. This graph also gives an opportunity to process the pull requests from the contributors that are working on the high-priority projects.

Analyzing code review practices

Innoface management finds Resolution Time Report very helpful when it comes to tracking the frequency of processing the pull requests.
