New Deliveries per Developer

WHY IT MATTERS

New deliveries per developer measures the rate at which developers deliver new functionality with a quality balance. More productive teams ship more new code.

HOW IT'S MEASURED

New deliveries are pull requests multiplied by percentage of new code. They also exclude certain pull requests – such as those authored by bots – that are not representative of development productivity. The number of developers is a 90-day rolling average of the number of contributors who created at least one pull request.

New deliveries per developer = pull requests × % new code ÷ developers
