minware Defeating Development Bottlenecks

The problem with first-gen metrics

First-gen metrics like DORA rely on existing data fields (deployment count, PR cycle time, etc.) They will get in you in the right ballpark, but are:

Lagging, unactionable

They tell you what happened, but not what caused it. Why are cycle times slow – is it interruptions, bad estimates, large tickets? How do I get better?

Disconnected from impact

Arbitrary unit counts (tickets, PRs, etc.) don’t tell you what matters.

Cumbersome and manual

If you want additional visibility (work type, tech debt, active dev effort, etc.), you have to painstakingly label tickets or log time by hand.

“Instead of AI replacing engineers, maybe it should replace tedious non-engineering work that wastes their time.”

Kevin Borders

Founder & CEO, minware

Next-gen data models offer insights without effort

Next-gen data models use modern methods to derive metrics with higher-level meaning (e.g., active development time per ticket) that are:

Actionable

See exactly where problems lie so you know where to improve.

Impact-Focused

Measure the effect on available engineering time instead of arbitrary unit counts.

Automatic

Compute high-level properties without having to log time, impose mandatory fields, or change the way you work.

Next-gen data models answer real questions

CEOs don't ask about cycle times. Next-gen data models answer real questions like these (links go to live demo):

How can we increase velocity?

What did we actually work on?

...and is it capitalizable?

How many bugs are we creating, what do they cost us?

How good are we at planning?

How large are our work batches?

...and more (see list)

minQL and BI report builder let you customize anything

All minware reports are built on top of the minQL query language and fully editable.

Access any field from any data source to create custom metrics with powerful formulas, including custom event cycle times.

Say goodbye to spreadsheets and SQL.

Goals and benchmarks make getting better easy

Set goals and track progress toward better process, planning, and CapEx efficiency with minware’s library of scorecard metrics.

Measure code and ticket best practices like using pull requests, thorough code reviews, linking branches to tickets, and more.

Clean, full-time-series data

minware does all the hard work for you – loading data, tracing commit graphs, and linking code/tickets to build a full-time-series data set (accessible from anywhere with minQL, of course) so you can view your data at any point in the past, and see how each person spent their time with auditable precision.
