Calculation Formula

PR Success Rate is calculated by dividing the number of successfully merged pull requests by the total number of pull requests raised during a specific period. The result is expressed as a percentage.

PR Success Rate (%) = (Number of merged PRs / Total number of PRs raised) × 100

Trend

An increasing PR Success Rate is a positive trend.

Benefits of KPI

How does the KPI help

The PR Success Rate helps by providing insight into the efficiency of the development process. A high success rate indicates that most pull requests are being successfully merged, suggesting smooth collaboration, good code quality, and effective review processes. A low or declining success rate may signal inefficiencies, such as unclear requirements, code quality issues, or bottlenecks in the review process, helping teams identify areas for improvement and reduce wasted effort.
