Activity View — Optimal Docs

Activity View | Track Code and Review Workload Distribution

The Activity view helps teams understand how PRs and commits are distributed across contributors. Use it to spot bottlenecks, review load imbalance, or uneven code activity.

Where to Find It

You’ll find Activity listed under Velocity, alongside PR Cycle Time and Deployment Frequency.

How It Works

1. Select a Team or Individual

2. Adjust the Time Range

3. Interpret the Visualization

Each bubble represents a specific type of activity:

Color Event
Commit – Code pushed to the repository
🔵 PR Open – New pull request created
🟡 PR Review – Pull request reviewed
🟢 Merge Commit – Pull request merged into the main branch
🔴 Comment – Review comment added on a pull request

Bubble size = amount of activity. Hover over a bubble to see detailed counts (e.g., 6 PRs opened, 7 merged).

4. Filter by Activity Type

At the top of the chart, toggle on/off activity categories: Commit, PR Review, PR Open, Merge Commit, and Comment.

Deselect “Comments” to focus purely on delivery work (commits and merges).

5. Generate AI Insights

Click AI Insight to get an instant summary of team performance — including busiest contributors, review patterns, and collaboration trends for the selected period.
