📐 Improved work breakdown algorithms

We’re making an adjustment to improve the accuracy of our data — specifically, how we track the amount of code that is New, Churn, and Refactor. These updates provide a more accurate view of changes over time, especially for teams that ship new code iteratively.

You may see adjustments to your metrics and benchmarks—most notably, an increase in New Units per Developer (formally Features per Developer) and a higher percentage of pull requests categorized as New. Since these improvements apply to historical data as well, your data will be uniformly adjusted upward, maintaining all relative differences and trends.

By tracking a more detailed history of file line changes—including both their original position and where they appear after edits—we are now more precisely differentiating between newly written code and modifications to existing work. This added granularity gives a more refined view of how code evolves over time, ensuring that new work is accurately captured and modifications are correctly attributed.

You can learn more about how pull requests are categorized in our documentation. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at support@software.com.
