Groups

Groups allow you to compare critical areas of investment in software development — like offshore, remote work, and AI-assisted development.

CREATING GROUPS

Groups consist of Git users and/or repositories. They allow you to filter your data and set up objectives for specific groups of users.

We automatically create groups if you have existing teams in your Git provider (e.g. GitHub teams). You can identify these teams by a small GitHub logo next to the group name. If you create additional teams in GitHub after connecting our app, they will automatically sync to Software.com.

MANAGING GROUPS

You can configure groups in Settings under the Groups tab. Select a group to:

• Add and remove group members.
• Add or remove repositories from groups. If no group members are specified, all Git users that contribute to a repository will be included in that group’s data.
• Manage notifications for reports and alerts about your group, including weekly digest emails and Slack or Microsoft Teams alerts.
• Update a group’s average annual cost per contributor to calculate that group’s estimated cost per new delivery.
• Delete a group. You cannot delete groups that are synced from your Git provider (e.g. a GitHub team).
