Activity View | Track code and review workload distribution

Last updated on Oct 29, 2025

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

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.

*The visualization updates instantly based on your selection.

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:

  • ⚪ 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).

Filter by Activity Type

  • At the top of the chart, you can toggle on/off activity categories:
    Commit, PR Review, PR Open, Merge Commit, and Comment.

  • Deselecting a type hides it from the chart — helping you focus on what matters most.

*Turn off “Comments” to focus purely on delivery work (commits and merges).

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.

ProTips

  • 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

  • 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 for faster rendering.

  • Overlapping bubbles: Zoom in using the slider for clearer visualization.
