Insights
Learn how to track your team’s engineering velocity with Graphite Insights.
Graphite’s goal is to improve engineering efficiency. Graphite Insights helps measure and improve that efficiency through transparent, customizable stats.
Insights allows you to create, save, and share custom views with your queries. You can look at activity for yourself and your team members. This transparency aims to give all team members the benefit of data—regardless of their role on the team.

Adjust the Insights time period
The statistics that are shown on the Insights page are aggregated over a specific time period. Graphite provides four fixed time periods for your convenience: the past week, month, quarter, or year. You also have the option to input a custom time period.
All Graphite plans have access to up to two years of historical data. If you select a time period that reaches beyond this sync period, you’ll see a banner warning you that some of your data will be missing.
Select users
You also have the ability to filter and view insights for specific people or groups of people, as well as the aggregate across your entire organization.
Naming, saving, sharing, and deleting views
You can create and name custom insights views across different time periods, repositories, and selected users. If you want to share a specific view with a teammate, you can also copy a permalink to that view (the “link” icon next to the view’s name) to share with them.
