Approvals

Activity Volume

Tracks the number of code review approvals you gave during the selected period.

💡 Think of it like a quality stamp, each approval is your vote of confidence that code is ready to ship.

What It Measures

Tracks the number of code review approvals you gave during the selected period.

Why It Matters

Measuring your contribution to team code reviews
Understanding how actively you participate in quality assurance

How It's Calculated

Counts each time you approved a pull request in the date range.

COUNT(approval_events WHERE approved = true AND timestamp BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)
Concrete Example

If you gave 15 approvals this week across 5 days, you averaged 3 code reviews per day.

What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Higher is generally better, it means your team is actively reviewing code.
Healthy
5+ approvals per week
Watch Out
2–4 approvals per week
Needs Attention
0–1 approvals per week
What Moves This Metric?
Goes up when…
More pull requests opened by teammates, more to review
Faster review turnaround and responsiveness
Stronger culture of code review participation
Goes down when…
Less code being submitted for review
Blocked by other priorities or meetings
Relying on fewer reviewers to carry the load
