Overview
Pensero connects to your YouTrack instance to access the tasks and workflows where engineering work is tracked. You can share projects, sprints, and boards such as feature development and bug tracking.
The data collected from YouTrack issues helps Pensero understand the types of tasks being performed and the level of complexity associated with each contributor's work.
Admins can connect YouTrack from the Integrations section by following the step-by-step instructions provided below.
What Pensero Reads from YouTrack Issues
Pensero retrieves issue metadata only. It processes the following fields:
Content: Text from the issue description
State: Open, closed, or other workflow statuses
Creator and Assignee: Who created the issue and who is responsible
Original ID and Identifier: Unique issue identifiers
Score: A computed measure of completeness and interaction
Linked Pull Requests and Documents
