Changes and re-organization of KPIs for Infrastructure-Quality Dept.

Cynan de Leon requested to merge master-patch-dc7a into master

Why is this change being made?

Initial changes to Infrastructure-Quality KPIs and PIs in handbook:

  • Added DRIs to KPIs
  • Moved S1 Open Bug Age, S2 Open Bug Age to PIs
  • Moved S1 Open Customer Bug Age, S2 Open Customer Bug Age to KPIs
  • Removed Quality MR Rate and Infrastructure MR Rate PIs
  • Removed Quality Budget Plan vs Actuals PI
  • Changed paths for KPIs to /handbook/engineering/infrastructure-quality/performance-indicators/

Not done in this MR:

  • Merging of metrics from Infrastructure and Quality into unified department-wide metric (e.g., Handbook MR rate, Promotion rate, Discretionary Bonus rate)
    • This is because the changes have not happened in Sisense yet.
    • There is also open discussion on whether these should even be PIs, if they are not actively used.
  • Change in title and/or description for Time to First Failure and MR pipeline duration to reflect change of measuring average or median to meaasuring 80th percentile ("p80")
    • That discussion hasn't been resolved, and no changes have been made yet to Sisense charts for these metrics.
