Custom layer transforms Azure DevOps data into team metrics

This layer aggregates data from Azure DevOps to answer critical questions about team capacity, workload distribution, and individual contributions. It aims to replace subjective 'gut feel' assessments with quantifiable data on metrics like independence rate and AI assistance in task resolution. AI

IMPACT Enhances project management tools with AI-driven insights for better team performance tracking.
