Project velocity in open source projects refers to the rate at which development tasks are completed and features are delivered. It measures the amount of work completed in a specific amount of time.
A higher velocity suggests increased efficiency and progress, while a lower velocity may indicate challenges or bottlenecks.
Monitoring project velocity helps teams assess their performance and plan future tasks accordingly, ensuring steady project advancement.
The Project Velocity chart displays data from the last calendar year.
On the Y-axis, there's a logarithmic scale representing PRs and Issues.
On the X-axis, there's a logarithmic scale representing commits.
The chart visualizes the correlation between code changes and collaboration.
To further understand the project's velocity, create a leaderboard. This ranks projects based on their commit numbers and provides a comparative view of their commits, PRs, and issues. This leaderboard can help in identifying the most active projects at a glance.
Review the top projects based on their commit numbers.
Compare their commit count, PRs, and issues in a single view.
