In a rapidly evolving software development landscape, engineering teams are under increasing pressure to deliver high-value features, maintain code quality, and optimize productivity. As we enter 2025, understanding how your team performs against industry benchmarks is essential for engineering managers, executives, and product leaders to drive informed decision-making.
This guide explores the latest engineering metrics benchmarks, including git analytics, developer productivity metrics, cycle time, code review metrics, and DORA metrics. We provide actionable insights from recent industry data and demonstrate how platforms like Gitrolysis can empower you to track, analyze, and improve performance across your organization.
As remote and hybrid work models become the norm for software development teams worldwide, understanding how productivity metrics shift in distributed environments has become essential for engineering managers, product leaders, and executives. Traditional in-office engineering team metrics don’t always translate seamlessly to remote settings, making it imperative to reassess how we measure developer productivity, code review metrics, and cycle times when the physical office is no longer the primary focus.
