Developing GitLab Duo: AI Impact analytics dashboard measures the ROI of AI

This post introduces the AI Impact analytics dashboard for GitLab Duo, available in GitLab 17.0. This dashboard provides real-time visibility into the ROI of AI features by visualizing improved metrics, comparing AI-using teams to non-AI-using teams, tracking AI adoption, and automating insights extraction. Key features include detailed usage metrics for Code Suggestions, correlation analysis between AI usage and SDLC performance metrics (Cycle Time, Lead Time, Deployment Frequency, Change Failure Rate, Critical Vulnerabilities), and a comparison view of AI-influenced teams. Future plans include new tile visualizations for seat usage, acceptance rates, and chat users, as well as a comparison bar chart and AI statistics in contribution analytics.
