future: github data¶
Problem¶
Fivetran's GitHub connector syncs rich engineering data — pull requests, reviews, commits, issues — but there is no pre-built dashboard pack that turns this data into actionable engineering productivity insights. Teams using the connector must build their own dashboards from scratch to answer common questions about PR cycle time, review bottlenecks, deployment frequency, and contributor activity. A GitHub dashboard pack would provide immediate value to engineering leaders who already have the data in their warehouse but lack the visualization layer.
Context¶
Possible Solutions¶
Plan¶
- Enumerate candidate GitHub KPIs (PR flow, review latency, deployment linkage).
- Define starter semantic layer/marts assumptions for the pack.
- Sketch dashboard stories for engineering leaders and team managers.
- List open research questions and external dependencies.
- Add explicit criteria for when this graduates into delivery milestones.
