Pull Requests Merged

Activity Volume

Counts the number of your pull requests that were merged during the selected period.

💡 Like a pipeline completing a batch, each merge is finished work that's ready for users.

What It Measures

Counts the number of your pull requests that were merged during the selected period.

Why It Matters

Tracking how much reviewed work actually ships to production
Measuring successful completion of code contributions

How It's Calculated

Counts each pull request merge event in the date range.

COUNT(pr_merge_events WHERE timestamp BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)
Concrete Example

If you merged 12 pull requests in a two-week sprint, that's 6 merges per week, meaning code is flowing steadily to production.

What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Higher is better, merged PRs represent shipped value.
Healthy
4–10 merges per week
Watch Out
1–3 merges per week
Needs Attention
