- Visualize typical merge request (MR) lifetime and statistics. Use a histogram that shows the distribution of the time elapsed between creating and merging merge requests.
- Drill down into the most time consuming merge requests, select a number of outliers, and filter down all subsequent charts to investigate potential causes.
- Filter by group, project, author, label, milestone, or a specific date range. Filter down, for example, to the merge requests of a specific author in a group or project during a milestone or specific date range.
