devActivity Product Information

??Overview

devActivity is a GitHub App that tracks, analyzes, and improves software development experience (DevEx) by providing data-driven performance insights, retrospectives, and gamified motivation. It operates with zero code access and uses Git metadata to deliver actionable metrics, bottleneck alerts, and engagement features across open source and private repositories of all sizes. The goal is to empower teams and leadership with 360-degree visibility into engineering performance, milestones, and delivery quality.

Who is devActivity for

  • Customer Representatives, Product Managers, Tech Program Managers: optimize engineering processes, identify bottlenecks, and track team performance with actionable insights.
  • Engineering Team, Delivery Managers, Team Leads: motivate teams with gamification, gain clear performance metrics, and improve productivity.
  • C-Level (CTO, VP of Engineering, Delivery Directors): achieve holistic visibility into engineering performance, detect bottlenecks, and drive data-driven decisions for growth.
  • Open Source Contributors/Project Maintainers: engage contributors, monitor activity, and streamline governance.

How it works

  • Install the free GitHub App to start gaining granular visibility on the development process.
  • Zero manual input: it relies on Git metadata (commits, pull requests, code reviews, issues, comments) without accessing your actual source code.
  • AI-powered insights and recommendations provide context-aware guidance with just a couple of clicks.
  • Applicable to public and private repos, for teams of any size.

Core Features

  • Data-driven Performance Reviews: objective metrics to assess individual and team contributions.
  • Retrospective Insights: AI-powered analysis to identify patterns, blockers, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Contribution & Work Quality Analytics: track commits, reviews, issues, and comments to gauge impact and code quality.
  • Operational Bottleneck Alerts: proactive notifications when processes slow down or waste occurs.
  • Gamification & Engagement: XP, Levels, Challenges, and Leaderboard to motivate and retain top performers.
  • Role-based Dashboards: tailored views for Product Managers, Tech Leaders, and Developers.
  • Seamless GitHub Integration: install-and-go setup with no code changes required.
  • Open Source Friendly: supports open source workflows and contributor engagement.
  • Freemium Model with Upgrade Path: core features are free, with optional upgrades for extended capabilities.
  • Privacy-first: does not access or modify your source code; relies solely on metadata.

Use Cases

  • Track delivery velocity and identify recurring bottlenecks across sprints.
  • Normalize performance reviews with data-backed metrics.
  • Recognize top contributors and align incentives through gamified progression.
  • Monitor open source health and contributor activity for maintainer teams.

Safety, Privacy & Compliance

  • No access to actual source code; only Git metadata (activity, timestamps, authors).
  • Data is used to generate metrics, alerts, and gamification features to enhance DevEx.
  • Freemium model with clear upgrade options for additional features.

Getting Started

  1. Install the free GitHub App to enable automatic visibility.
  2. Connect your GitHub repos and configure notification preferences.
