Evolution of Pull Requests with EMA and RSI
This widget offers a detailed visual representation of the historical evolution of pull requests. The purple bars reflect the absolute values of pull requests made in specific periods, providing a clear view of the activity. For a smoother interpretation, the blue bars reveal the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of pull requests, emphasizing trends over time.
Additionally, a green line is incorporated to represent the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a key indicator used in various sectors. In the context of Git development, the RSI offers insight into the team's fitness in terms of the frequency of pull requests. Both EMA and RSI act on the last 4 samples, providing a more accurate view of recent trends.
Benefits and Possible Interpretations:
- Trend Identification: The EMA provides a smoothed representation of pull request trends over time, making it easier to identify and understand the overarching patterns in the team's contribution. Sudden spikes or declines in EMA may indicate shifts in development momentum.
- Strength of Development Momentum: The RSI serves as an indicator of the team's development momentum. A consistently high RSI may suggest a sustained high level of pull request activity, while a declining RSI could signify a potential slowdown.
- Decision Support for Planning: The combination of EMA and RSI aids in decision-making for future development planning. Teams can use this information to anticipate periods of high or low activity, allowing for more effective resource allocation and project planning.
Overall, this type of chart serves as a powerful tool for project managers, team leads, and developers alike, offering insights that contribute to informed decision-making, improved collaboration, and efficient resource utilization in the Git development environment.
