Collaboration Metrics

SPACE Framework: Communication and collaboration patterns

SPACE Framework: Communication & Collaboration

The Communication & Collaboration dimensions measure how effectively teams work together through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and responsive feedback loops.

The Collaboration tab tracks how your team works together through code reviews, PR sizing, review responsiveness, and cycle time—key indicators of healthy collaboration and efficient workflows.

Key Metrics

Code Reviews

Total code reviews completed by the team in the period.

Elite: 20+ reviews
High: 12-19 reviews
Medium: 6-11 reviews
Low: 1-5 reviews

Avg PR Size

Average lines changed per pull request. Smaller PRs are easier to review and less risky.

Cycle Time

Time from PR creation to merge. A key indicator of overall development velocity.

Overall rating based on quality (40%), PRs (30%), and reviews (30%).

Our Philosophy

Collaboration metrics should empower teams, not surveil them. Coderbuds focuses on outcomes and collaboration patterns rather than activity monitoring. We believe in tracking performance, not people—helping teams identify bottlenecks and improve together through the SPACE Framework.
