Cycle Time

The Cycle Time tab breaks down how long pull requests spend in each stage of the development lifecycle.

Two time-series charts show trends over your selected date range:

  • Time to Open — time from first commit to pull request creation. A long time-to-open can indicate developers are batching too many changes before opening a PR.
  • Time to Merge — time from pull request creation to merge. This is the most common measure of delivery speed.

Each chart plots three lines:

  • Average — the mean across all PRs
  • 75th Percentile — the value below which 75% of PRs fall
  • 95th Percentile — highlights outliers that took unusually long

Use the View by dropdown to switch between daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly grouping. Filter by team, repository, and date range using the controls at the top of the page.
