The Calendar Metrics focuses on Maker Time, which is the percentage of uninterrupted 2-hour blocks in a working day (8 hours). Why does Maker Time matter? We believe that meetings and interruptions cost engineers more, and optimizing Maker Time will increase the overall performance of your engineering team.

We are proud to say we have just received our SOC 3 compliance report. The SOC 3 report provides the highest level of certification and recognition of operational compliance that an organization can receive. Waydev is the only development analytics tool to receive the SOC 3 compliance report. Read more about it here. 

How to measure software delivery performance in a way that creates more value for the entire organization? One approach - backed by 6 years of research and collected data - takes 4 metrics into consideration: Delivery Lead Time, Release Frequency, Mean Time To Restore and Change Failure Rate. 

Also known as the DORA (DevOps Research and Assessments) metrics, you can now automatically measure them on the Waydev platform. Request a demo to find out more, or see them in action by connecting your CI/CD tools (CircleCI GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines).  

If you’re using Google Calendar, you can now connect it to Waydev and start measuring maker time and meeting load for your teams. Get an accurate picture of how much time do your team members spend in meetings vs how much time do they get to ship software. Follow these steps for Google Calendar integration: https://docs.waydev.co/en/articles/5480692-google-calendar-integration

Plug in your CircleCI account so you can start measuring and optimizing software delivery performance. To connect with CircleCI, you will first need to have a valid GitHub or Bitbucket integration. Then follow these steps: https://docs.waydev.co/en/articles/5408883-circleci-integration

If you’re using Github Actions, you can now integrate it with the Waydev platform to start measuring and optimizing DevOps performance. Here’s what you need to do to connect Github Actions to Waydev: https://docs.waydev.co/en/articles/5391142-github-actions-integration

We are proud to announce that as of June 30, 2021, Waydev is SOC 2 Type II compliant. The compliance report represents an external validation of our constant commitment to security.

Issued by Sensiba San Filippo (San Francisco based accounting firm), the report registers how Waydev’s information security practices, policies, and procedures are suitable to meet the SOC 2 trust principles criteria for security, availability, and confidentiality.

The SOC 2 Type II compliance report is completed by an independent, external auditing firm, and attests that Waydev’s processes, procedures, and controls are in place, and operating effectively for a period of at least 6 months, and ensure the security of our Automated Engineering Performance Analysis Services.

We launched Waydev Freemium. The Freemium is our offer to help pioneering teams of up to 10 engineers get started with development analytics and deliver better software faster. 

Here’s what included in the Freemium plan:

• 30 days of historical data
• 20 repos
• Up to 10 Engineers
• All the core features & use cases – Work Log, Daily Update, Team Performance, Team Progress, Activity Heatmap, Activity, Developer Summary, Developer Performance, Developer Progress.

We wanted to make this easier for you, so we’ve changed the naming of some features to better reflect their true purpose. Here is what we changed :

Velocity Report will help you determine the amount of work your team can cover, and become a useful tool for sprint planning meetings. You can visualize how much value each sprint delivers so you can accurately predict the team's workload for future sprints.

You can find the Velocity Report in the Sprints report, under the Daily Stand-Ups section. To enable the Velocity Report for your account, you'll need to integrate with Jira/ Jira Server/ Azure Boards

The report displays the number of story points completed vs the number of story points defined during a sprint.
