Metrics engineering managers can defend
Each signal has a concrete definition, a native unit, and a clear direction of improvement.
Delivery
- Release pace and reliability: Understand how often code reaches production, how long it takes, and when it fails.
Review flow
- Pull-request responsiveness: See how quickly review begins and where open pull requests are becoming stale.
Review governance
- Merge discipline: Surface pull requests merged without independent review or by their own author.
