Relative to other professions, developer output is behind the curve when it comes to quantifiable performance measurement. GitClear seeks to measure and chart the coding output of developers over time, allowing managers to better assess the scope of potential features, match tasks to developer strengths, and proactively identify roadblocks to programming productivity. Visual patterns of data won't answer "Who's the best programmer?", and don't need to- but they will allow adept technical managers to derive insights that drive teams closer to their goals.
