Is there a way to track PR reviews and approvals per person in bitbucket

[Annie Kearns]

My team is looking to create a 'number of approvals' per person table which would show how many approvals is carried out by each person over the space of a week/month/year

Looking through bitbucket this doesn't seem to be a feature and the marketplace add ons don't specifically show per user how many PR's they have reviewed and/or approved. 

Any help appreciated

Thanks!

Hello @Annie Kearns 

Bitbucket Cloud doesn’t currently offer built-in reports for approvals per user. You can use the Bitbucket API to pull PR and approval data, then process it to track approvals per person over time. Most Marketplace apps don’t provide this level of detail, so a custom script or dashboard is usually the best option. 

Let me know how it goes!

Gotcha thanks Priyanka! I'll pass this on :)

Hi @Annie Kearns

I’m a Director of Product Management at Appfire, a Marketplace vendor. 

As @Priyanka Khare mentions, Atlassian products don't currently provide any built-in report, nor in Jira, Confluence or Bitbucket, to display the number of approvals per person.

If you want to try an app to provide metrics for your teams around Bitbucket PRs and approvals, I can suggest Dashboard Hub Pro for Jira or Dashboard Hub for Confluence. Both apps provide gadgets such as:

• Pull Requests Team Workload. This gadget displays the leaderboards in terms of number of pull requests pending to review i.e., those developers with more workload than the rest.
• Open Pull Requests. This gadget shows all the open, pending pull requests of the selected repositories for a given period of time. Each PR displays the name, the repository, when it was created and who is assigned to review it.
• Open Pull Requests by Author. This gadget displays the authors of open pull requests, in a leaderboard layout, and each avatar is clickable. When you click on one of the authors, you’ll be redirected to Bitbucket to see the summary of the open pull requests of that person.
  

You can check these metrics in this live dashboard Bitbucket PR metrics (or other related metrics in this other live dashboard DevOps team dashboard).

Not only that, Dashboard Hub provides dozens of different metrics ready to go, ability to securely share publicly your dashboards, create your own custom charts, and many more benefits. Give it a try and let me know if that suits your needs.

Cheers,

Gorka

Hey Gorka, 

Thanks for your message. The tools look great, however the metric we are interested in seeing is how many approvals are completed per developer over a specific period of time. The reason for this is because we want to encourage more members of the team to review PR's. 

Thanks again, 

Annie
