Velocity uses the data from your source control management (SCM) systems to help engineering leaders fill in the blanks and get a complete understanding of how their team works. Objective data paired with meaningful conversations provides full transparency into:

• Continuous Delivery: how frequently teams are shipping, compared to last sprint, month or quarter
• Process effectiveness: when and why a scaling team has outgrown its processes
• Roadblocks and bottlenecks: what’s causing engineers or teams of engineers to get stuck
• Personal development: what growth opportunities can leadership provide to retain talent

While the tool is designed for engineering leadership, it benefits and aligns the whole team, from individual engineer to engineering executive.

Velocity is built for Engineering Leaders who want to have a deeper understanding of how their team works and where they can improve.

The product has two primary users:

• Engineering Managers who are responsible for 5+ engineers, either directly or indirectly (responsible for engineering leads). They are interested in helping stuck engineers and building stronger and more efficient processes to ensure frequent deployment.
• Engineering Executives who are representing the successes and needs of the entire engineering department to other stakeholders. They are predominantly concerned with long-term productivity, and clear, objective measures of success.

Other roles within product and engineering, while not primary users, can also benefit from Velocity:

• Engineers who are more productive are happier, and vice versa. Velocity helps engineers stay unstuck and have greater ownership over their work.
• Product Leaders often find it difficult to align with engineering, causing product roadmaps to be wishlists rather than actual plans. Armed with Velocity, Engineering can better communicate their timelines and stay on track each quarter.

Velocity can be set up in less than ten minutes, and synching your repositories can take up to a few hours. No workflow changes are required.

We understand that the security of your code is extremely important, so we do not store source code files. All code analysis is performed based on ephemeral instances, and source code is immediately purged after processing. We only store metadata about your organization, repositories and projects to support advance reporting.
