Q1 was marked by a significant influx of unplanned work across teams. Despite this, 5 out of 6 teams delivered 100% completion on all non-deferred work, demonstrating strong execution discipline, adaptability, and efficient capacity utilization.
Notably, scope increases were absorbed without impacting delivery outcomes, indicating effective prioritization and throughput management across the majority of teams. Across all teams, 418 pull requests were merged into production during the quarter, underscoring the engineering velocity behind these delivery outcomes.

Training tasks and Designs team are excluded from all counts. Team size only includes developers (excludes Lead, QA, and Project Coordinator roles). Deviation % is only calculated for established teams where new tasks represent true scope change. PR counts reflect only merges to the production (main) branch across Backend and Frontend repos. DevOps automation and bot-generated PRs are excluded.
Deviation measures how much an established team's workload deviated from the originally planned scope, calculated as (New tasks / Planned tasks) × 100%. This metric only applies to Builds-GGN and Performance & Tech Debt, as these teams had a defined roadmap at the start of the quarter. The NOIDA and BLORE teams are newer teams that had available bandwidth to pick up additional work, so new task assignments to them reflect capacity utilization rather than scope deviation.
Started with 14 planned tasks and absorbed 18 new tasks mid-quarter, bringing total scope to 32 (excluding 4 deferred). This included 16 quick improvements such as Frontend Validation for Negative Bonus Values, Automatic Pay Period Creation, Dual Payroll Processing, Improved Paystub Delivery, Mortgage Commission Update, and more. All 32 tasks were completed, achieving 100% completion despite absorbing the largest volume of unplanned tasks across all teams.
Wins: Exceptional throughput and adaptability under significant scope change. Late-quarter completions of Show only client/API-provided job statuses, Additional Offices Effective Dates, and Roofing Calculation logic update demonstrate the team's ability to close out complex items under pressure. The team's 218 production PRs represent 52% of all production merges across the org. Jay led the entire organization with 72 Backend production PRs, and Rishi led all Frontend production output with 44 PRs.
Watch: The +143% deviation signals that planning accuracy for this team needs improvement. While the team absorbed the load, sustained over-commitment risks burnout. Q2 planning should account for a realistic buffer.
Started with 6 planned tasks and took on 4 new additions, bringing total scope to 10 (excluding 1 deferred). This included 2 quick improvements: Real-Time Sales Job Progress Notifications (Pusher) and Fast Initial Server Setup & Auto-Seeding. Multi Tenancy was deferred. All 10 tasks were completed by quarter-end, including Position and Employment Update Audit History and No Audit Log or Effective Date Tracking which were finished in the final week.
Wins: At 94 production PRs from just 3 developers, this team has the highest per-developer production output at 31 PRs per developer. Gary alone shipped 53 production PRs — the second-highest individual production output in the entire org. Gorakh contributed across both Backend (23) and Frontend (8), making him the only full-stack production contributor on this team. A small but exceptionally effective unit.
Watch: The team is at full capacity with zero slack. Any unplanned additions in Q2 will require either scope reduction or temporary reinforcement.
Ran continuous integration support throughout the quarter (Integration Requests), completed the Prismatic POC (a new task added mid-quarter), and contributed to the Show only client/API-provided job statuses improvement. 100% completion on all tasks.
Wins: Delivered reliably while maintaining ongoing integration operations. Farhan led with 26 Backend production PRs and Rachna contributed 14, giving this 2-person team an impressive 22 production PRs per developer. The successful Prismatic POC opens a path for scalable third-party integrations in Q2.
Watch: This team is fully utilized. If integration volume grows in Q2, capacity will need to be assessed to avoid becoming a bottleneck.
A newer team that had available bandwidth after completing training. Had 1 planned task (Pending Pay Verification, deferred) and picked up 3 new tasks: LMS Integration, 5 Decimal Update, and Roofing Tiers Schema Updates — all completed.
Wins: Strong ramp-up performance demonstrating the team is production-ready. Completing all 3 assigned tasks shows end-to-end delivery capability. Rushita dominated Frontend production output with 26 PRs, and Backend contributions came from Aakash (6), Ashutosh Y (4), and Neelesh (3).
Watch: The team's 7 developers handled only 3 tasks this quarter, reflecting their ramp-up phase. Q2 should see a significantly fuller roadmap to match the team's now-proven capacity.
The support team handled continuous support and requests throughout the quarter across 6 categories (Bugs, Improvements, Features, Requests, Misconfigurations, Knowledge Gaps). They additionally completed Everee Config and Feature Flag, achieving 100% completion on all 8 tasks.
Wins: Reliable execution while maintaining ongoing support operations. The team shipped 23 production PRs with balanced Backend contributions from Hridesh (8), Lokender (8), and Naman (4). The successful delivery of Everee Config and Feature Flag alongside continuous support demonstrates the ability to balance reactive and planned work.
Watch: Kunal and Ravi Kant on Frontend had minimal production PR output (3 and 0 respectively). Consider whether frontend support needs are being met or if these resources could be better utilized.
A newer team that started with 2 planned tasks (SequiDocs 3.0, PODs Structure) and picked up 3 additional tasks (Jobber Integration, Override Pool Evaluation, Marketplace API Development). While no tasks were formally completed by quarter-end, all 5 non-deferred tasks are actively in progress with significant advancement:
Jobber Partnership Integration — 90% | Override Pool Evaluation — 90% | Marketplace API Development — 90% | Infrastructure Cost Savings Analysis — 50% | SequiDocs 3.0 — 40%
Average completion across all 5 tasks is 72%. Three tasks at 90% are expected to close out early in Q2. No PRs were merged to production in Q1 as the team was ramping up, but the progress indicators suggest deliverables are in the pipeline.
Five out of six teams achieved 100% completion on all non-deferred work this quarter, with 418 pull requests merged into production. Builds-GGN (Nikhil) demonstrated the strongest adaptability by absorbing a +143% deviation while completing every non-deferred task and driving 52% of all production PRs. Perf & Tech Debt (Gary) delivered the highest per-developer production output at 31 PRs per developer with a perfect 100% completion rate.
Integrations (Nikhil) quietly delivered one of the strongest per-developer metrics at 23 production PRs per developer while maintaining continuous integration support. Builds-NOIDA (Shaquib) showed excellent ramp-up with 39 production PRs and 100% task completion.
Builds-BLORE (Abhilash) had no formal completions but all 5 tasks are actively in progress, averaging 72% completion — three tasks at 90% are expected to close early Q2. No production PRs were merged as the team was ramping up. A total of 8 tasks were deferred across teams, with the largest concentration in Builds-GGN (4 tasks), indicating scope was managed through intentional prioritization rather than missed deadlines.
Top individual contributors by production PRs: Jay (72 BE), Gary (53 BE), Rishi (44 FE), Prem (30 BE), Farhan (26 BE), Rushita (26 FE), Gorakh (23 BE + 8 FE), Lokendra (21 BE), Niti (20 BE), Rachna (14 BE + 3 FE).
