I’ve seen this and variations done by teams to implement the metric. Usually, the “biggest” friction comes from “how do we know a PR needs to be reviewed within the time frame?” To which I always want to answer: “you have a mouth, put noises through it.” Sigh, sometimes I miss the military… anyway, toxic behavior aside, this is usually the biggest thing. I have to remind them that they go get coffee or smoke at least every hour, but rarely at the same time; so maybe then might be a good time to just do a quick check for an open PR. Or turn on notifications. Or if it’s urgent, mention it in the dev team channel.
But yeah, it’s hard to get the culture rolling if it isn’t already in place nor has anyone in the company worked with a culture like that.
