Knowledge Areas

Knowledge Areas 

Info

This section of Developer Coaching provides at-a-glance insight into knowledge and work areas a developer has focused on over a fixed period of the last six months. This analysis shows where specific developers have concentrated their efforts–helping you balance expertise distribution and promote better collaboration across the engineering organization. Populated using Team Activity, this view presents the top three repositories a developer has worked on and requires a given area constitutes 10% of a developer's activity to display here–meaning it represents a significant investment (although this threshold is adjustable).

Tip

Expertise and domain authority are good for a team, but so are knowledge sharing and exposure to different parts of the code base. Use this visibility to balance teams and uplevel developer skills by analyzing teams and their respective knowledge areas. This view shows you where opportunities exist to:

• Expose devs to new technologies and skills
• Break the monotony of only working on one thing
• Ensure balanced workloads and mitigate chances of burnout
