Daily Code Reviews Digest
One of the main reasons that pull requests bottleneck most teams is a lack of visibility—not having a single view of all open pull requests of a team across different repositories.
Poor pull request visibility increases the pull request's review cycle due to -
Lack of accountability between team members on reviews
Developers often forget open pull requests
Pull requests are waiting a long time for attention (e.g. merge conflict resolution or CI fixes)
Managers are staying out of sync with their team
Longer review cycles cause delays in merging and releasing, reducing the engineering output of the team.
devoro counters this issue by sending a daily digest report, which helps managers and developers stay up to date with all open pull requests, and ensures nothing falls behind.
This helps increase efficiency and improve the pull request workflow by -
Increasing accountability between team members (the entire team knows who's tasked with reviewing what pull request every day)
Ensuring no pull request is ever forgotten
Keeping the entire team up to date with the current status of the pull request (failed CI, needs rebase, etc.)—ensuring nothing becomes a blocker
Managers are staying synced with their team and know exactly what everybody is working on
How it works
devoro sends a Daily Code Review Digest each day before your daily standup to your team's Slack channel.
For each PR, the report specifies -
Assigned reviewers
Mergeability status (are there any merge conflicts?)
Checks (are all tests, rules, and CI checks passing?)
Rebaseability (can be automatically rebased?)
Opened date (has the PR been opened for too long?)
