Activity distribution

How commits, reviews, and comments distribute across team members.

Activity distribution is not a separate screen. It's what you read across the Team Activity table, where every metric is broken out person by person. Treat it as a fairness and resilience signal, not as a productivity ranking.


​

What it measures


​

Team Activity puts each member of the selected team on a row and each metric you pick on a column. Among the metrics available are commits, pull requests created, reviews and PR comments — alongside throughput, work in progress, active days, reworked tasks, invested hours and story points.


​

The distribution is the shape of a column: who accounts for most of it, and who barely appears.

How Leanmote calculates it


​

Leanmote does not compute a share. Each cell holds that person's own count for the period, in the unit of the metric — commits, reviews, comments, merge requests, tasks, hours or story points. Only two of the metrics are already percentages: sprint efficiency and estimated vs executed.


​

So the proportion a person represents is something you read off the column, not a number the product reports. There is no concentration index behind it either.


​

One thing the table does compute for you is the comparison against the preceding period, so a column tells you both who carries the work today and whether that changed.


​

How to interpret it


​

These are rules of thumb for reading the column. Leanmote does not flag any of them.


​

  • Even distribution, with nobody at several times the team median, is healthy. Some variance is natural.

  • Heavy concentration in one or two people is a fragility signal — what happens if they leave?

  • Watch for imbalances between metrics rather than within one: somebody doing all the reviewing while authoring little is sustainable for a quarter, not for a year.


​

What to do about it


​

  • Rotate reviewer assignments to spread review load.

  • Pair contributors who rarely cross paths so knowledge diffuses.

  • For onboarders with low activity, pair them with mentors and remove blockers — a low share early is normal, but it should trend toward the team median over a quarter.
