Time to Market
Time to Market: Time from feature concept to production release.
Formula
Time to Market = Median of (Release date - Concept approval date)Computable definition
The canonical formula in the GASP formula grammar. The MCP server compiles it to SQL over the datasets listed below.
median(field.release_date - field.feature_created_date where in_period(field.release_date))Unit: days
Notes: Median days from concept approval to production release.
Data requirements
Grain: Per event · Frequency: Per milestone · Aggregation: event · Staged: no · Main source: CI/CD.
| Field | Dataset | Type |
|---|---|---|
feature_created_date | feature | date |
release_date | feature | date |
snapshot_date | feature | date |
Example SQL (Postgres)
SELECT (SELECT PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY (release_date - feature_created_date)) FROM feature WHERE snapshot_date = :period_end AND (release_date >= :period_start AND release_date <= :period_end)) AS time_to_market From an agent: with the GASP MCP server, call
lookup_metric({ "name": "Time to Market" }) or generate_query({ "metric": "Time to Market", "adapter": "<your adapter JSON>" }).
