Understanding and Modifying Keypup’s Metric Documentation

​In the realm of software engineering metrics, it's not uncommon for individuals who didn't create a particular metric to struggle with understanding how it has been calculated, why it matters, and how to improve it. This lack of clarity can hinder effective decision-making and impede progress within an organization. That's why documenting metrics is key to ensuring that everyone involved has a comprehensive understanding of the metric's purpose, calculation, and potential areas for improvement.

In this article, we’ll show you how to access and modify your metrics’ documentation.
