Introducing Pull Request Risk - Monitor the probability of a pull request to cause problems. The Pull Request Risk metric aggregates multiple data points, among the number of commits, the size of the commits, the spread and depth of the changes.
You can visualize Pull Request Risk using the Work Log and the Review Workflow features.

The Targets feature enables users to set custom targets for their developers, teams, and organizations. You can check in on your goals and see how much progress has been made.
To create a new target, click on the Create New Target button.
You will be prompted to insert your target values in the Targets Configuration section. It is not required to set target values for every metric.
In the Assignments Configuration, you will need to select the teams, developers, and repositories you want to set targets for. It is not required to assign the targets for all of them. For example, you can assign a target only for a specific team.
Time Configuration
In the Time Configuration section, you need to select the Start Date. This will be the date when Waydev starts tracking your target. You need to select an End Date for your target. This will be the date Waydev finishes tracking your target.
If you toggle on Repeat, Waydev will create an identical target one day after the end date. The identical target created will have the same time frame. For example, if you select the Start Date as Jun 1, 2020, and the End Date as Jun 30, 2020, Waydev will create an identical target on Jul 1, 2020, with the Start Date as Jul 1, 2020, and the End Date as Jul 30, 2020.
You need to select the Timezone for your target. You can ignore certain days, such as weekends, by selecting Ignore Days, and then clicking the plus sign on the right side. The ignored days will be displayed below.
In the Alerts Configuration section, you can set alerts for specific events. You can choose to receive a full report at the end date of the target. You can set Waydev to alert you if your target Impact was reached before the end date.
You can set Waydev to alert you if the target was not reached at the end date. You can set Waydev to alert you if the Churn % exceeds a chosen value before the end date. If you toggle this on, you need to insert the chosen value of Churn % in the field below.
You can set Waydev to alert you if the target falls below a chosen value before the end date. After you select the metrics, you need to insert the chosen values in the fields below.
Email & Slack alerts
You can set Waydev to send you alerts via email or via Slack. Learn how to configure alert channels (Email and Slack) here. In the drop-down, you can select the users who will receive the alerts.

We've worked on an Auto-merge tool to save you from the pain of looking through an entire list of engineers. It automatically compares your engineers' profiles and prompts you to confirm a merge between two profiles of the same engineer.
For better usability, we've split our Integrations page into two different pages. Now you can connect with more accounts from the same Git provider on the Integrations page.
We improved the way users view the Impact so it translates better into business value. Total Impact is now displayed as an Impact average of the active days. Engineers' Impact is now displayed as a multiple of the average Impact.
Therefore, the average will be 1x, and everything higher or lower will be displayed as a multiple:
We added more data to be pulled through our API: Throughput and Productive Throughput.
We added a new feature in Waydev where you can check the activity of your engineers.
The percentages on the top of the columns represent the ratio of inactive engineers to total engineers. For example, on Monday, 17 Feb, 22% of the Back-end team's engineers did not commit any code.
You can find the Activity feature in the Daily Standups submenu.
