Analyzing team performance through the code repository

Unfortunately, version control systems are not very widely used outside of the software development business despite the fact that today most version control systems handle binary files with ease. Also, internet speeds and storages easily handle large files. Therefore, this recipe focuses on the team performance analysis through the code repository, but it can be applied to any VCS supported by Redmine or visualization software.

This recipe assumes that you have an in-house development team working permanently on one software development project long-term. In this case, team performance analysis through the code repository can help you identify whether some team members are working less than others, or a situation where the development team is not getting enough tasks from the management team, and so on. Someone may argue that you can't have exact measurements because some tasks are more complex than others, team members have different...
