If you lead a development team, you know how tricky it can be to measure performance in a way that’s both fair and genuinely useful.
Too often, metrics feel one-sided — focused on speed, not quality; on output, not growth. But when you get developer metrics right, everything changes. You can run fairer reviews, unblock your team faster, and help every developer grow.I’m Roy from the monday dev engineering team, and here’s how you can move beyond gut feel and guesswork — using the monday dev tools that turn real data into meaningful insight.

Understand how your team works

The Engineering Performance Dashboard in monday dev gives you instant visibility into how your team is working — without ever touching a Git log or spreadsheet. Track key metrics like:

• Cycle time: from “in progress” to merged code
• Time to PR, review, and merge
• Blockers that slow delivery down

You can drill down by sprint, person, or project to uncover what’s working — and where your team might need more support. That means your retros and performance reviews are grounded in real data, not guesswork.

See the bigger picture with Agile Insights

For a broader view of performance and delivery, monday dev’s Agile Insights takes things a step further. See your team’s velocity across sprints, track planned vs. unplanned work to gauge consistency, and use burndown charts to understand progress at a glance.

Together, these insights reveal patterns that help you improve your process, balance workloads, and make more confident decisions. And because all of this lives right inside monday dev, you get the full picture with zero extra setup or manual tracking.

The takeaway

Focus on the metrics that truly matter.

When you measure what actually drives progress — collaboration, consistency, and quality, you empower your developers to do their best work.

With monday dev, you can:

• Run fair, data-driven reviews
• Spot and remove blockers before they slow things down
• support continuous growth for every engineer

The result? A happier, higher-performing team and smoother, faster delivery cycles
