Overview of Analytics
Important: The new Digital.ai analytics dashboards are now accessible only with the Release Premium edition. For more information about the implementation, contact Customer Success Manager. The Release Administrator has the capability to only set up these dashboards for display.
The Analytics feature within Release empowers DevOps teams and various other personas with data-driven insights to pinpoint bottlenecks, streamline release processes, and enhance release reliability while mitigating risks. By aggregating data from the entire DevOps toolchain, including the release pipeline and integrated tools, Analytics provides impactful insights and visualizations that drive value and improve outcomes.
With prebuilt metrics and a variety of best practices dashboards, Analytics enables leaders to observe real-time developments across their value stream pipeline, and subsequently make informed, data-driven decisions. Whether it's rectifying bottlenecks or tracking progress, Analytics serves as a powerful tool for optimizing processes and fostering continuous improvement.
