15 minutes Getting Started Guide with PERF (old)

Open Delivery Central & Navigate To Your Unit (Stream)

Also Click on “Delivery Metrics” tab

Choose Your Dashboard Preset

Once you click on a preset, dashboard gets filled with metrics

 

Don’t worry if the dashboard does not suit you. You are always able to add, remove and rearrange metrics as you wish (we’ll get back to it later in this guide)

As you see, Metrics are not showing the charts yet. That is because PERF needs to get access to the data from your systems.

Add A Task Tracking System

Just click on “View Project Settings” link on the nearest metric that has it and get to the choice of one of the three supported Task Tracking Systems

Follow the instructions on Task Tracking System Setup

Run A Dataload After Saving Your Configuration

Perf offers you to run dataload each time you save the configuration
Or you can trigger a full update on any of your datasources from “Data Sources” Tab

Use Full Update if you have changed the configuration of your Data Source

Use Incremental Update if you need to recalculate metrics based on the latest data from your Data Source

Overall, Incremental Update gets run automatically on a daily basis, so that each morning you get the freshly recalculated metrics on a dashboard just like a cup of a good morning beverage

Once you have launched an update, Perf will need some time (usually 5-10 minutes) to fetch the data from the Data Source. The duration of this operation depends on:

  • Amount of data. It takes longer for large projects

  • Data Source Rate Limits. Sometimes Jira or Gitlab or any other system limits the amount of requests per minute, and Perf has to slow down and adhere to these limitations.

Handle Your Dashboard

Examples: Moving a Metric Card / Deleting Card & Adding a Card

That was a quick start guide on your first steps with Perf. Thank you for your attention!
