📊 Engineering Performance Metrics Now in Project Financials
Project Financials
now includes engineering performance data alongside investment information — giving engineering leaders and finance stakeholders a single place to understand not just how much
is being spent, but how effectively
it's being delivered.
## What's New: DORA Metrics in Project Financials
The four DORA metrics are now surfaced directly within Project Financials for each project or initiative:
- Deployment Frequency:How often your team is shipping to production. Higher frequency generally indicates a healthy, low-batch delivery process.
- Lead Time for Changes:The time from code commit to running in production. A key indicator of your team's delivery efficiency.
- Change Failure Rate:The percentage of deployments that cause a failure requiring remediation. Lower is better.
- Time to Restore Service (MTTR):How quickly your team recovers from incidents. Reflects operational resilience.
Seeing these metrics in context with project spend lets you answer questions like:
"We're investing $200K in this initiative — are we actually shipping fast and reliably?"
## What's New: PR Activity in Project Financials
In addition to DORA,
Pull Request activity
is now visible per project:- PR Volume:Total number of PRs opened and merged in the selected period, giving a sense of team output.
- PR Cycle Time:Average time from PR creation to merge, broken down by Coding, Review, and Merge stages.
- PR Size:Average lines of code per PR — smaller PRs typically correlate with faster reviews and fewer defects.
## Why the Combination Matters
Traditionally, engineering investment data and delivery performance data lived in separate tools and separate conversations. By bringing them together in Project Financials, Leanmote enables a new kind of analysis:
- ROI by initiative:Compare what you're spending on a project versus how fast and reliably the team is delivering.
- Efficiency trends:Track whether increased investment translates into better delivery over time.
- Informed prioritization:Help leadership make investment decisions backed by delivery data, not just estimates.
This update is available for all projects tracked in Project Financials. No additional setup required — if your repositories are already connected, the metrics will appear automatically.
