Aging work in progress

What it measures

The age distribution of currently open PRs, bucketed into ≤7 days, 8–30 days, and >30 days, split into ready and draft series, with a drill-down list of the open PRs behind it.

Why it matters

Old open PRs are work in progress that has stalled. They tie up context, drift out of date, and are a leading indicator of delivery problems.

How to read it

• Watch the >30-day bucket — those PRs rarely recover on their own.
• Use the drill-down to see which PRs are aging, then decide: finish, split, or close.
• Drafts stack separately — they are work in progress, not PRs waiting on review.

Anti-blame

The drill-down lists PRs and ages — never authors. Stale work is a process signal, not a person's fault.

Common misreads

• A pile of old drafts is not a review failure — but it may still be abandoned work worth a conversation.
