Activity View | Track Code and Review Workload Distribution
The Activity view helps teams understand how PRs and commits are distributed across contributors. Use it to spot bottlenecks, review load imbalance, or uneven code activity.
Where to Find It
You’ll find Activity listed under Velocity, alongside PR Cycle Time and Deployment Frequency.
How It Works
1. Select a Team or Individual
- Click the team selector dropdown to choose a Team (e.g., Engineering Core, Backend) or switch to Individuals to pick specific engineers.
- You can multi-select teammates for side-by-side comparison.
2. Adjust the Time Range
- Use the calendar picker (top-right) to select a date range.
- Toggle between Week and Month to zoom in or out on activity trends.
- Use the zoom slider (– / +) to adjust how much data you see on the timeline.
3. Interpret the Visualization
Each bubble represents a specific type of activity:
| Color | Event |
|---|---|
| ⚪ | Commit – Code pushed to the repository |
| 🔵 | PR Open – New pull request created |
| 🟡 | PR Review – Pull request reviewed |
| 🟢 | Merge Commit – Pull request merged into the main branch |
| 🔴 | Comment – Review comment added on a pull request |
Bubble size = amount of activity. Hover over a bubble to see detailed counts (e.g., 6 PRs opened, 7 merged).
4. Filter by Activity Type
At the top of the chart, toggle on/off activity categories: Commit, PR Review, PR Open, Merge Commit, and Comment.
Deselect “Comments” to focus purely on delivery work (commits and merges).
5. Generate AI Insights
Click AI Insight to get an instant summary of team performance — including busiest contributors, review patterns, and collaboration trends for the selected period.
Pro Tips
- Use filters to isolate specific actions (e.g., only PR reviews).
- Pair Activity with PR Cycle Time for deeper insight into how reviews affect speed.
- Click AI Insight regularly to surface patterns you might overlook manually.
- Month view is ideal for spotting long-term productivity trends or comparing sprint outputs.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| No bubbles appearing | Check your date range or filters — you may have deselected all activity types |
| Missing members | Switch from Teams to Individuals and search by name |
| Slow loading | For large teams, narrow the range to a single week |
| Overlapping bubbles | Zoom in using the slider for clearer visualization |
