Get a bird’s-eye view of issue metrics across your organization

Running a large engineering organization can be hard. While team-level metrics give you detailed insights, sometimes you need to step back and see the bigger picture.

Our new issue metrics view gives engineering leaders a comprehensive overview of how work flows across the entire organization. Now you can:

  • Track key metrics like completed issues, cycle time, and work in progress across all teams.
  • Understand how each team is doing relative to its headcount to identify teams that might need support.
  • Filter by issue type to see how specific work items like stories or bugs flow through your organization.
  • View metrics over time with customizable aggregation functions (median, average, p95).

These improvements bring more flexibility to how you analyze your engineering data. For example, you can now switch between average and median cycle times to get a more realistic view of typical performance, or use p95 to identify cases where you struggled, and could improve.

To get started, navigate to the new issues tab under metrics in the main navigation.

In the coming months, we’ll roll out more filtering options to this view, and extend capabilities like customizable aggregation functions to other parts of Swarmia.
