Engineering delivery metrics without spreadsheets
Engineering delivery metrics without spreadsheets means using read-only GitHub PR metadata with consistent KPI definitions — merge throughput, lead time, and review responsiveness — instead of manual exports before every staff meeting. Engineering managers adopt this when definitions drift across teams and prep time crowds out coaching. DeliveryCompass is engineering intelligence for GitHub PR delivery.
What is the cost of manual spreadsheet prep?
Hours spent exporting, pivoting, and reconciling numbers are hours not spent on coaching. The hidden cost is inconsistent definitions across teams — lead time means something different in every sheet.
What is the minimum viable metric set from GitHub?
- Merge throughput — volume shipped
- Lead time — open to merge
- Review responsiveness — time to first human review
- Period-over-period attention for staff meetings
See staff meeting metrics for the full ritual.
When is BI overkill?
Tableau or Looker shine when you need custom schemas and cross-system ETL. For GitHub-native delivery reviews, an opinionated product is faster to value. See generic BI and FAQ.
FAQ
When should I keep using spreadsheets?
One manager, one team, monthly reviews — spreadsheets are fine if definitions are documented.
How long does self-serve setup take?
About a minute for account registration; baseline metrics appear within minutes after GitHub connect and repo mapping. See setup guide.
Do I need to change our GitHub workflow?
No. Read-only PAT access; no webhooks or CI changes. See how it works.
