A better way to do GitHub reporting
Swarmia turns GitHub data into actionable insights, helping your team deliver software faster.
Swarmia powers modern software organizations from startups to enterprises
Track the metrics that matter to your business
Swarmia gives engineering leaders, managers, and teams access to valuable engineering metrics — including DORA and SPACE.
Swarmia both feeds and empowers our insights. It allows our engineers to dive deeper into the metrics in a specialized environment, which would make no sense for us to build for ourselves.
Walter de Bruijn
Head of Engineering Productivity at Miro
Reliable data, out of the box
While GitHub’s tools offer basic metrics and notifications, Swarmia enables organizations to focus on driving real change with reliable, granular data that can be easily shared across the entire engineering team.
Instead of building and maintaining internal dashboards to track DORA and other key developer productivity metrics, modern organizations choose Swarmia to drive engineering productivity.

Rather than basing conversations on a gut feeling, I can now walk up to a team and say ‘I can see your number of incidents is going up, why is that?’ Swarmia is the starting point to many of the important discussions we have in the engineering and product teams.

No harmful metrics
We’ve left out metrics that often lead to developers gaming the system and managers making the wrong decisions.
*
Lines of code (LOC)
*
Code churn and rework
*
Developer stack ranking
With Swarmia, we’ve been able to highlight problem areas, set target levels, and drive continuous improvement. In two months, we’ve decreased our teams' cycle time by 40%.

Focus on team-level productivity
We know that the best teams focus on optimizing for the whole, not the individual.
Swarmia turns GitHub data into team-centric metrics and insights that help your engineering organization from developers to managers and from directors to VPs to make better decisions and move faster.
Some other tools focus on surveillance, not support. In Swarmia, you won’t see leaderboards ranking developers or teams from best to worst.

Swarmia taps into our toolchain - like Slack, JIRA, GitHub - and provides actionable insights for our teams. The combination of nudges through Slack to help pay attention to outliers in the daily work and some killer analytics features, like showing time investment into different stories on a calendar, really help carve out the inefficacies.
Swarmia reduces the need to keep actively searching for information on what is happening and where. With Swarmia you can trust that the important information reaches you when the event or actions happen.
Swarmia makes it simple to gather engineering metrics in one place; this gives great visibility to the engineering team and helps them understand and analyse their performance, allowing them to define ways to improve. Without Swarmia, achieving the same would require a lot of manual effort and spreadsheets.
Swarmia reduces me hours of research to get complete reports, such as batches, deployments. I use it on a monthly basis. The integration is easy to do, the implementation is quick, you'll get the information right away and their customer support team helps a lot. An ease to use this tool.
Swarmia was so easy to set up, and it keeps me apprised of our DORA metrics in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. It allows me to see where we're getting stuck, and how we can improve our efficiency. I love the reporting on stale branches or if we need to review PRs faster. I have it linked to Slack and so I see reports every day.
Swarmia provides insightful data and metrics that allow team leaders to gain a deep understanding of their team's performance. The comprehensive reports help identify bottlenecks, optimize workflows, and make data-driven decisions to improve productivity continuously. This data-driven approach has greatly enhanced our ability to meet deadlines and deliver high-quality results.
Swarmia instantly gave us a baseline, and we could see historical information on where we were in terms of key metrics.
