Case Study: Bizzabo achieves 95% increase in Pull Request throughput with Code Climate's Velocity

Bizzabo boosted R&D innovation 95%.

Bizzabo, an event management company led by Co-founder and CDO Boaz Katz, had no reliable way to measure the ROI or innovation velocity of its R&D organization. To get objective engineering metrics, Bizzabo turned to Code Climate’s Velocity tool to measure concrete signals like pull requests merged per team and pull request size instead of traditional planning KPIs.

Using Code Climate Velocity, Bizzabo shifted benchmarks to pull request throughput, size, reverts and rework, and began sharing those metrics across the team to drive better habits and faster execution. Within a year they increased pull request throughput by 95% (with additional improvements of +54% and +76% on other tracked metrics), replaced ineffective KPIs, and achieved clear, measurable gains in R&D productivity.
