⚠ Neither Cloud nor Web has ever reached the 0.5/day production deployment target. Web's high staging activity (PI6–7) does not translate to production. Data, Fusion, and Mobile have no deployment tracking configured.
Commit Velocity — PI 6, 7, 8
PI 5 activity data is excluded from trend analysis — commit tracking coverage was incomplete for most teams during that period (only 1–6 active days recorded). PI 6–8 reflects full coverage.

⚠ Mobile's commit count of 65,838 in PI6 is anomalous — likely includes generated files, lock files, or a large migration commit batch. The drop to 9,004 in PI8 may reflect cleanup rather than reduced activity, but combined with PI8's bug spike (115 bugs) it warrants investigation. Active days remain stable (145–146), suggesting the team stayed active throughout.
Per-Team Assessment — PI 5–8
☁ Cloud
Best PI PI 8 · 51.8%
PI8 Creep 21.5% ⚠
PI8 Bugs 10
Prod deploys PI8 4
Improving trend in PI8 but still far from the 80% target. Creep is now above ceiling. Production deployments are negligible. Commit velocity is declining.
◈ Data
Best PI PI 6 · 75.4%
PI8 Creep 34.1% ✕
PI8 Bugs 5
Commit Growth +386%
PI 6 showed potential (near target) but regressed. Creep in PI8 is the worst in the dataset at 34.1%. Commit activity growth is positive — team is increasingly active but sprint planning quality needs work.
⊕ Fusion
Best PI PI 6 · 64.7%
PI8 Creep 39.0% ✕
PI8 Bugs 12 ⚠
Commit Trend ▼ 48%
Persistent underperformance with a creep problem that is getting worse. PI8 bug count jumped from 0 to 12. Declining commit activity. Never came close to 80% completion. Needs significant process intervention.
⬡ Mobile
Best PI PI 6 · 55.6%
PI8 Creep 48.9% ✕
PI8 Bugs 115 ✕
PI8 Commit Drop ▼ 86%
The most troubled team. Completion has never approached 80%, creep is catastrophic in PI7–8, and bugs have exploded to 115 in PI8 (double all other teams combined). Anomalous commit activity needs root cause analysis.
⬡ Web
Best PI PI 6 · 91.3%
PI8 Creep 10.5% ✓
PI8 Bugs 8
PI8 Completion 88.6% ✓
Clear standout performer. Consistently hits or approaches the 80% target. Creep is trending down sharply. PI7 dip (74%) was temporary — fully recovered in PI8. Bug count near zero until PI8 uptick. The reference benchmark team.
✦ Standout
Web is the only team consistently near or above target
3 of 4 PIs above 80% completion, creep under control and improving (30.9% → 10.5%), and near-zero bug completion. Web's planning practices should be studied and shared across teams.
✕ Critical Risk
Mobile's PI8 bug count (115) is a quality crisis
Mobile completed 115 bug issues in PI8 — more than all other teams combined (35). Combined with ~49% creep and only 50% completion, this signals sustained delivery instability and mounting technical debt.
⚠ Pattern
Scope creep is a systemic issue across 4 of 5 teams
Only Web has brought creep below the 20% ceiling (PI7: 15.2%, PI8: 10.5%). Cloud just breached the ceiling in PI8. Data, Fusion, and Mobile are all significantly above it, suggesting organizational-level planning and backlog hygiene problems.
→ Signal
Data team shows positive momentum but fragile
PI6 nearly hit 75% completion (best in team history), commit activity grew 386% PI6→PI8, and bugs remain low. However PI8 shows a regression with 34% creep. The capacity investments appear to be landing — planning discipline needs to catch up.
Priority Improvement Areas
01
Run a Mobile team quality audit — bugs and creep are at crisis levels
Mobile's PI8 numbers (115 bugs, 48.9% creep, 50.1% completion) indicate a structural problem, not a one-off sprint issue. Conduct a retrospective spanning PI7–8 to identify root causes: is this test coverage, unclear requirements, external dependencies, or team capacity? Consider a dedicated stabilisation sprint before PI9 planning begins.
Mobile
02
Adopt Web's sprint planning practices as the engineering standard
Web is the only team consistently hitting the 80% completion target and the only team with creep under control. Run a cross-team planning retro where Web leads a session on their backlog refinement, story sizing, and mid-sprint scope control process. Document and share the practices before PI9.
Cloud Data Fusion Mobile
03
Introduce a creep budget policy for PI9 — hard cap at 20% per sprint
Creep above 20% is an active target breach for Cloud (PI8: 21.5%), Data (34.1%), Fusion (39%), and Mobile (48.9%). Rather than a soft guideline, institute a formal sprint-level gate: any new work added mid-sprint must displace existing commitment or be deferred. This requires product owner alignment and should be embedded in sprint ceremonies.
Cloud Data Fusion Mobile
04
Investigate and close the production deployment gap for Web and Cloud
Web is deploying to staging at 0.34–1.01/day but only 1–4 times per PI to production. Cloud's preproduction activity has collapsed from 29 to 8 deployments per PI, and production has never exceeded 5. These numbers indicate either manual release gates, risk aversion, or process bottlenecks blocking flow to production. Map the release pipeline, identify gates, and target at minimum weekly production deployments by PI9-end.
Cloud Web
05
Expand DORA tracking to Data, Fusion, and Mobile
Currently only Cloud and Web have deployment tracking configured, covering 2 of 5 teams. Without production deployment data for Data, Fusion, and Mobile, it's impossible to assess end-to-end delivery capability. Prioritise instrumenting their pipelines before PI9 starts so the PI9 retrospective has full coverage. This is especially urgent for Mobile given its quality crisis.
Data Fusion Mobile
06
Investigate Mobile's anomalous commit volume — 65k PI6 vs 9k PI8
Mobile recorded 65,838 commits in PI6, 7× more than any other team. This is almost certainly not genuine feature work — it's likely auto-generated files, lock file churn, or a large asset import being tracked in version control. The decline to 9,004 in PI8 may reflect a policy change (e.g. adding these to .gitignore) rather than a reduction in activity. Auditing commit history for these PIs would clarify the signal and improve the reliability of activity metrics going forward.
Mobile
07
Add Lead Time for Changes and MTTR to the metrics roadmap
Deployment frequency is currently the only DORA metric tracked, and it alone paints an incomplete picture. Lead Time for Changes would reveal whether slow production frequency is a development bottleneck or a release gate issue. MTTR would capture stability. Change Failure Rate would connect to the growing bug signal. These are listed as planned — accelerating their implementation would significantly improve decision-making quality.
