Measure your team's current pull request cycle time (time from first commit to merge) and produce a breakdown by stage: coding time, review-waiting time, review time, and revision time. Use at least four weeks of historical PR data (minimum 50 PRs). Identify the top two bottlenecks with evidence — the stages where time is concentrated. Document the measurement methodology and present findings to the engineering team, soliciting their hypotheses about root causes.
Proof required
Submit the cycle time analysis (data visualisation or structured table showing median and 90th-percentile times per stage, based on at least 50 PRs over 4+ weeks), plus notes from the team presentation showing root-cause hypotheses raised by the team.
What gets checked
- Analysis covers at least 50 PRs over at least four weeks — smaller samples are unreliable
- All four cycle time stages are measured — not just total PR open-to-merge time
- Top two bottlenecks are named and supported by data — not guessed
