In the digital age, improving R&D efficiency to accelerate value delivery has become the core goal and competitiveness of enterprises. The improvement of organizational effectiveness is inseparable from efficient and accurate measurement. At the same time, scientific R&D efficiency measurement can optimize the value flow of the R&D process, thereby accelerating the overall value flow and realizing the business value goal of the enterprise.
The goal of R&D efficiency measurement is to build a R&D efficiency measurement system to realize the visualization of the software R&D process, manageable, trackable and quantifiable software delivery, and to identify the blockage points and improvement points in the R&D process in a timely manner. Through data-driven operations and governance, continuous Improve the software capabilities and R&D efficiency of enterprises. However, there are also some challenges in the process of R&D effectiveness measurement construction:
- Difficult to automate data collection
There are many end-to-end tool chains for research and development, and the object models of the same type of tools are inconsistent, and the cost of manual data collection is high;
- Massive data with high complexity
R&D performance measurement will involve the end-to-end tool chain data of the R&D process, which needs to solve the storage, calculation, modeling, and high-performance query of massive data;
- No system of metrics
The R&D efficiency measurement system involves the entire R&D life cycle. Enterprises usually lack an overall performance measurement index system, measurement application scenarios, and how to combine the measurement index system to identify problems and improvement points in the enterprise R&D process;
- Customized scenarios are flexible and changeable
Each enterprise has its own R&D management model and management demands, and general measurement indicators cannot meet all the needs of enterprises, requiring scenario customization.
One-stop data-driven R&D efficiency measurement platform
In order to solve the above problems, HUAWEI CLOUD launched a new HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board Kanban service on May 18, based on its excellent methodology and best practices accumulated in the field of R&D performance measurement. As a one-stop data-driven R&D performance measurement platform , It has the following advantages:
- Data integration zero perception
Fully access CodeArts tool chain data, automatically collect the whole process data of R&D, connect data islands, and run through the whole life cycle of software R&D;
- Rich performance index system
Based on the indicator management system and value stream indicator system practiced by HUAWEI CLOUD, it provides measurement indicators covering requirements, code, testing, construction, pipeline, release and other fields;
- Out-of-the-box insights analysis platform
Enterprises can complete the secondary customized development of indicators through drag-and-drop configuration without threshold based on their own customized measurement indicator demands;
- Flexible and scalable custom metric reports
Through the ability to flexibly combine and expand custom reports, enterprises can build their own measurement and governance portals.

Five Features of HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board
Feature 1: Enterprise-level R&D efficiency cockpit, supporting enterprise data-driven governance
The cockpit provides one-stop data decision-making management services for enterprises, and different roles of enterprises can complete management operations in the cockpit. HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board provides a cockpit for managers, project managers, team leaders, and developers, and provides a R&D performance measurement and evaluation system for different role usage scenarios, thereby effectively supporting enterprise data-driven operations and governance.
The HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board cockpit builds a hierarchical management mechanism for enterprise R&D performance management, and builds a hierarchical management mechanism for enterprise R&D performance measurement based on enterprises, teams, projects, and individuals to achieve top-down governance and bottom-up management. Improve.
The manager's cockpit helps managers grasp the overall R&D performance of the enterprise, and assists in management decision-making to drive business growth; the project manager's cockpit helps the project manager track the entire link of project delivery, follow up the project progress and identify delivery risks; the team leader drives The cockpit helps the team leader manage team members, track and manage the team's resources and delivery, and improve team performance; the developer cockpit quantifies the developer's output and contribution, and improves the sense of work accomplishment and work efficiency.

Feature 2: End-to-end measurement and analysis of the R&D process, enabling visualization, management and evaluation of R&D
HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board automatically integrates CodeArts toolchain data, covering work items, requirements, defects, code, construction, code inspection, testing, pipeline, deployment, and release, connects data islands, automates data integration and processing, and automatically generates R&D performance metrics Evaluation indicators to achieve visualization, management and evaluation of the entire R&D life cycle.
In order to conduct comprehensive management evaluations, HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board has built-in comprehensive evaluation reports on enterprise R&D efficiency, cross-project demand efficiency measurement, code submission measurement, and defect from the dimensions of delivery efficiency, delivery quality, delivery capability, and delivery cost. Repair metrics, code inspection metrics, development defect metrics, test case metrics, release deployment metrics, compile build metrics, workload metrics, team R&D performance evaluation, and developer self-assessment.
In addition, HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board also has a built-in industry DORA indicator, which automatically presents the DORA gold indicator trend and the comparison with the industry baseline, so that the enterprise R&D performance level is clear at a glance.
▲Full life cycle measurement evaluation
Feature 3: Out-of-the-box insight and analysis platform to meet the customization of enterprises
HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board provides 100+ indicator libraries out of the box, covering work items, test cases, code inspection, deployment, code integration, construction, and working hours, involving organizations, teams, projects, and personal perspectives. Satisfy the R&D performance measurement scenarios commonly used by enterprises.
At the same time, in the process of R&D performance measurement and governance, enterprises often need to develop and customize measurement indicators twice based on the R&D management model and scenario requirements of the enterprise to meet their own evaluation scenarios. To this end, HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board provides insight and analysis platform capabilities. Users can flexibly set the chart type of indicators, measurement dimensions and statistical caliber of indicators, data filtering of indicators, and visual configuration of graphics by free dragging and dropping. Complete the secondary customization of indicators.
Based on the indicator library, HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board can manage the indicator data assets of enterprises in a unified way, so as to ensure the consistency of enterprise indicators and the life cycle management of indicators.
▲Out-of-the-box insight analysis platform
Feature 4: Customize reports and build enterprise customized measurement portals
An enterprise's R&D effectiveness measurement and evaluation system often needs to build a complete set of measurement portals based on its own enterprise scenarios. To this end, HUAWEI CLOUD CodeArts Board provides the ability to customize reports. Enterprises can quickly combine and customize their measurement management portals based on existing measurement templates and indicator libraries.
Custom reports support the organization of directory information structure, selection of indicators, free dragging of indicators, free layout and combination of charts, detailed drill-down of indicators, global filter dimensions and filter conditions, flexible and scalable, to meet the diverse management of enterprises Measure custom scenarios.
