Data³

Vision
Data³ is an Engineering Productivity initiative focused on the transformation of software engineering data into actionable information that is accessible by Foundation staff and the broader technical community alike.

Many of the tools/systems that we use today generate a lot of data. Unfortunately, much of that data is not accessible to those that don't have an in-depth working knowledge of the tools/systems in question. That Data³ initiative was created to help eliminate that barrier.

The vision is to have a simple means in which to consume and visualize data from the many disparate systems in a way that allows for the critical analysis of potentially correlated data.

Current Efforts
Currently the Data³ initiative is primarily supported through the direct efforts of the Engineering Productivity team and a number key stakeholders. If you'd like to participate in this initiative, please let us know in the #talk-to-engineering-productivity Slack channel. Below are some of the key activities associated with this initiative. Addition details can be found in Phabricator. We've created a Metric Dictionary as means to collect and define desired metrics. There is now a Metrics Dashboard prototype available for early adopters to explore the data.
