Coding Time Metric

Cycle Time Calculation in LinearB

Learn how LinearB calculates Cycle Time across four key development phases—Coding, Pickup, Review, and Deploy—so you can identify bottlenecks, track delivery efficiency, and surface improvement opportunities across your teams.

Cycle Time Metric

This article explains the Cycle Time Metric, which tracks how long it takes code to go from first commit to production. It highlights key stages like coding, review, and deployment to help teams improve efficiency and collaboration.

Delivery Metrics

Purpose. Delivery Metrics measure pull request lifecycle timing, deployment progression, and stage efficiency. They provide visibility into how long work takes to move from coding through review, dep…

Deploy Time Metric

Definition. Deploy Time measures the time from when a branch or pull request (PR) is merged until it is deployed to production. This reflects how quickly merged code reaches a production environment.…

Pickup Time Metric

Definition. Pickup Time measures the amount of time between when a pull request (PR) is created and when review begins. A PR is considered “picked up” when the first review activity is recorded on th…

Review Time Metric

Definition. Review Time measures the time spent reviewing a pull request (PR) from the first review activity until the PR is merged. Only review activity that occurs after the PR exits draft status i…

Time to Approve Metric

The Time to Approve Metric measures the amount of time it takes for a pull request (PR) to receive final approval after it has been picked up for review. This metric is a key indicator of the efficiency and responsiveness of the code review process.

Time to Merge Metric

The Time to Merge metric tracks the duration between PR approval and merge, helping teams identify bottlenecks, improve review efficiency, and accelerate delivery without compromising code quality.

Time to Release Metric

Measures the time from the first deployment reported in the last configured deployment stage until the deployment is first reported in the Release stage.

Time to Review Metric

Definition. The Time to Review Metric measures the time taken from when a pull request (PR) is ready for review (either opened or transitioned out of draft) to when the first review occurs. Why is Th…
