Use Cases

• Use PR explorer to understand how many open PRs for a team/individual. Too many open PRs usually means some work has been abandoned or the Engineer is multi-tasking
• Identify long running PRs with review cycles longer than 5 days
• Understand which PRs have been abandoned i.e. closed without merge
• Undeployed PRs; PRs that have been merged but not deployed in production
• Review request hanging; PRs that have been raised but no review has happened
