Per-period counts of PR activity, with two bars side by side:
  • Opened — PRs created in that period. Measures work started.
  • Merged / Closed — stacked bar of PRs that exited the queue. Measures work shipped vs dropped.
Click a column to jump to the PRs opened, merged, or closed in that period.

Why it matters

Throughput is the raw delivery rate. Compared against opens, it surfaces whether the team is keeping up with incoming work or building up WIP. A rising close rate (vs merge) can hint at abandoned branches or scope churn.

​
Insights

  • Are we shipping faster than we’re opening new work, or falling behind?
  • Are closed-without-merge PRs growing? That usually means scope churn or abandoned branches.
  • Did a process change actually lift throughput, or just shift where the work sits?

​
How the chart is built

  • Opened counts PRs by when they were created in the selected range.
  • Merged counts PRs by when they were merged in the range.
  • Closed (without merge) counts PRs that were closed in the range but never merged.
  • Time buckets (daily, weekly, etc.) always appear for the full date range you picked; a bucket with no activity shows as zero.
