Troubleshoot delays with our Code Review Analytics tool

This post introduces Value Stream Analytics (formerly Cycle Analytics) to measure development cycle velocity from planning to monitoring, tracking seven stages: Issue, Plan, Code, Test, Review, Staging, and Total. It also introduces Code Review Analytics (since GitLab 12.7) to provide deeper insights into slow-moving merge requests, displaying a dashboard of open merge requests with non-author comments, measuring review time from the first non-author comment, and showing summary statistics like comments, commits, and approvers. The post details how to debug issues like complex code, author training needs, or understaffing based on the Code Review Analytics dashboard.
