AnalyticsVerse vs. Velocity

AnalyticsVerse helps you visualize where your teams are spending efforts and whether they are aligned with your business goals. Categories like Making Progress vs Keeping Lights on, Effort In Stories vs Bugs, Effort in New Work vs Churn vs Tech Debt, along with the ability to define your categories give you a thorough insight into your effort investment portfolio and allow you to course correct if needed.

Inertia to change is common across engineering teams of all sizes and nature. Creating healthy competition using leaderboards, recognition, and appreciation for teams showing best progress, helps you overcome inertia and create a positive momentum of change within your engineering organization.

Epics are more than just a filter on AnalyticsVerse. We help you actively look at the progress of all your milestones (epics) in terms of tasks remaining and velocity week over week and also help you understand the effort you are spending on your planned initiatives vs ad-hoc items.

AnalyticsVerse proactively highlights risks that can affect your deliveries, team health, and system performance. Risks like pending pull requests, un-reviewed commits, higher bugs, blocked developers, and skewed knowledge distribution help you take proactive action which is missing from Velocity.

Velocity uses commit activity to identify rework, and AnalyticsVerse enhances the way you identify rework by looking at pull request corrections —when developers make changes based on code review feedback—and re-opened tickets along with commit-based rework indicators.

Commit per day and push frequency are not health metrics. Identify real risks of developer burnout and take action before it's too late. AnalyticsVerse enables you to look at well-being metrics like burnout indicators, developer engagement, long working hours, and more.

Unlike Velocity, AnalyticsVerse helps you identify knowledge distribution and silos, review workload distribution, responsiveness to review requests, developer engagement with team activities, and much more to capture how well your team communicates and collaborates.

AnalyticsVerse enables you to look at how efficiently tasks flow from planning to production using metrics like change lead time (CLT), WIP tickets, unplanned work, wasted work, and tasks getting re-opened to quickly identify bottlenecks in your SDLC that are missing from Velocity.

AnalyticsVerse helps you look at all dimensions of productivity in a single snapshot in comparison with the team average, which helps you identify strengths and areas of improvement quickly.
