Engineering Metrics & Insights

## Unblock your devs

### Benchmark your performance

Baseline your metrics, benchmark against industry standards and identify areas of focus like efficiency, quality, or predictability.

### Spot bottlenecks

Find and address your workflow bottlenecks with the ability to drill into leading indicators and the individual pull requests that are slowing your team down

### Boost flow metrics

Improve your merge process– minimize code review idle time, fixing bugs and reducing technical debt.

Programmable Workflows

## Automate your improvement

Actively improve using SEI+ automations that remove friction points across the SDLC while keeping team goals and best practices top of mind.

### Streamline code reviews

Standardize your merge process to adhere to complex standards and security requirements. Eliminate ad-hoc decisions in code reviews.

### Increase merge frequency

Codify your team’s merge process to eliminate ad-hoc decisions and optimize the code review process.

### Reduce developer toil

Auto-approve safe changes, e.g. dependabot minor changes and documentation - route pull requests to experts and flag deprecated components using SEI automations.

Resource Allocation

## Balance your team’s workload

As your team’s productivity improves, you’ll have the visibility and resources to apply your excess effort to new value creation

### Understand your impact

Gain a holistic understanding of investments into new value vs. ‘keeping the lights on’.

### Align people to business priorities

Ensure your teams are spending their time on projects that are aligned to the priorities of your organization.
