Activity distribution

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

Updated yesterday

Activity distribution shows how engineering activity — commits, pull requests, reviews, comments — spreads across the team. It's not a productivity ranking; it's a fairness and resilience signal.

What it measures

The relative share of total team activity attributable to each member, grouped by activity type (commits, PRs opened, reviews left, comments).

How Leanmote calculates it

share(member, type) = activity(member, type) / total_activity(team, type)

  • Per-activity-type so you don't conflate code authorship with review labor.

  • Reported as percentages and as a Gini-style concentration index when available.

How to interpret it

  • Even distribution within ±2× of the team median is healthy. Some variance is natural.

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

  • Watch for type-specific imbalances: one person 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 — low share early is normal but should trend toward team median over a quarter.
