Your team isn't slow. Now you can prove it.

Delivery slows down while work sits waiting for review, QA, and release. DevStats shows exactly where, so you can fix the process instead of pushing your people, with numbers from your own repos that hold up with anyone who asks.

What DevStats is

DevStats offers enhanced engineering metrics that help you protect your teams instead of ranking them

The situation

Every team reports numbers. Engineering reports a story

Sales has pipeline, finance has the forecast, marketing has cost per lead, and engineering has a narrative about how hard the sprint was.

You know your team, who’s working hard, and where the friction is, but "trust me" only goes so far when R&D is one of the biggest lines in the budget.

The follow-up

And the story breaks at the first follow-up question

The question comes from the CEO, the board, sales, or product. Why is this taking so long? Are we on track? Is the AI spend paying off?

You pull Jira exports and GitHub data and rebuild the slide. The number on it is story points. Everyone in the room knows story points can't answer "how much" or "when", and they don't say a word about where the AI time went.

Why is the billing release slipping again? Isn't AI supposed to make us 10× faster?

The cost

Every unanswered question costs you twice

UP

Engineering starts to look like the least accountable team in the company. The questions come more often and get sharper.

DOWN

You push for visible speed to buy time. Your team feels the pressure and knows it's aimed at the wrong thing.

NEXT

The real delay never gets fixed. The next release slips for the same reason the last one did.

You end up defending your team with nothing but your word.

The usual fixes

Story points

Easy to game. Nobody trusts them past the first question.

Spreadsheets

A night of exports and formulas, and stale by next week.

×

Enterprise platforms

Months of back-and-forth. You need answers this quarter.

Tools that rank engineers

One leaderboard, and your team stops trusting the numbers for good.

You've accepted that engineering can't be measured without the numbers turning on your team. That's the part that's wrong. Measure the process, and the numbers point at the process, not at people.

How it works

Your team isn't slow. The work is waiting

Coding takes hours. Shipping takes weeks. The gap sits between stages where PRs wait for review, reviews wait for merge, and merges wait for release. DevStats splits cycle time into stages and shows where the effort goes, so you can fix the process instead of asking people to code faster.

01 · Where the time goes

See cycle time broken into stages.

Point to the stage where work waits, then fix the handoff: review ownership, QA capacity, release cadence. That's a process change, not a performance review.

See how much engineering time goes to new things, improvements, and keeping the lights on. When KTLO eats the roadmap, you can name it, size it, and change it before the next planning cycle.

03 · How you compare

A clear bar for every metric.

Benchmark bands show which numbers are a real problem and which are normal for a team your size, so you fix what matters first and leave the rest alone.

Fix the handoff

Review wait shows up as a stage, not a feeling. Rotate ownership, cap PR size, and watch the stage shrink.

Fix the queue

QA and release waits are capacity and cadence problems. Benchmarks tell you which one is out of range for your size.

Fix the mix

When keep-the-lights-on crowds out new things, Engineering Investment gives you the number to renegotiate the roadmap.

Every one of these is a process fix. None of them is “code faster.”

Numbers that protect your team

Most engineering metrics tools sell leaders visibility into their engineers. DevStats gives you evidence to defend them.

  • ✓Team and flow views come first. You see how work moves through the process, and where the process breaks.
  • ✓Individual views support 1:1 prep and help unblock someone who's stuck.
  • ✓No leaderboards or vanity metrics. Get the full picture of what’s happening.
Reviews sat 2d 3h before pickup. Nobody's fault. Rotate review ownership, and the number drops in the next sprint. That's the fix, and it's a process fix.

Is the latest frontier AI model actually making you faster?

Your team is paying for Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or whatever launched last month. Developer estimates can't tell you whether it worked. Delivery numbers can.

If the work is still waiting for review, a faster model just fills the queue sooner. DevStats tracks delivery metrics against the tools and models your team adopts, so you can see what changed after each switch, and what didn't because the process didn't.

One team's numbers

One team went all-in on a new model. Their DevStats numbers showed delivery didn't move: review wait was the bottleneck, not coding. They fixed the review rotation, switched to a cheaper model, and shipped faster than before.

AI makes a good process faster. It can't fix a broken one.
