Projects

In Valven Atlas, we approach software development analytics in a similar way that we do in the real world.

In most companies, the preferred approach is usually to group the units of work into different projects.

Each project has various architecture, design, and technology in its nature. Therefore, contributor behaviors can change according to project features because some projects can contain processes and technologies that your team is familiar with while another project may require a completely different set of skills in terms of technologies or innovative approaches.

That's why, unlike other development productivity tools, we organize your repositories and reports in projects. In this way, the performance and patterns of your teams can be analyzed for separate projects.

When you are a first-time user of Valven Atlas, it's mandatory to create a project to start your journey. You will be redirected to Step 3 of the Add Project flow.

Add Project

Step 1: Click Projects in the sidebar.

Step 2: Click Add Project on the top-right side of the page

Step 3: Enter the project's name and a description (optional)

Step 4:

• If you have not connected any of your Git accounts yet, you will be redirected to the Connected Applications page. For details on how to integrate with other applications, please see here.
• If you have at least 1 Git account connected, you will be redirected to Add Repositories.

Step 5: Select any of your Git, issue, and CI/CD repositories that are related to the project, and click Save Repositories. You are allowed to select more than 1 Git, issue, and CI/CD repositories in each project.

Note: For CI/CD repositories please select the configurations and builds for the production environment, not the staging environment.

Step 6: You will be redirected to the Project details. Valven Atlas will shortly start analyzing your metadata to provide insights into your team's development behavior combining the Git analysis with your issue management system analysis. We normally process the data in under 10 minutes, but for the newly added projects, it can take up to 1 hour. You just need to wait until the data is processed.
