# Health Metrics

### Overview

Health metrics for open source projects are crucial for assessing their well-being, performance, and sustainability. These metrics assist stakeholders in gauging community engagement, activity levels, and the overall project environment.

The following are the main objectives of this feature:

* Provide visibility to the projects on areas to improve as per the OSS best practices guidelines for project setup.
* Monitor the project's health and take immediate action when the same starts deteriorating.
* Act as a checklist for the projects when they are ready to graduate.
