# AI DLC Insights

Learn how to measure AI coding agent adoption, efficiency, and impact from prompt to production in Harness AI DLC Insights.

AI DLC Insights gives engineering leaders a complete view of how AI coding agents are being adopted, what code they produce, and what they cost. It connects agent-level telemetry (sessions, token spend, ship rates, and commit attribution) to the delivery metrics that reveal what is happening downstream.

### Measure AI adoption <a href="#measure-ai-adoption" id="measure-ai-adoption"></a>

Understand which AI coding tools engineers rely on to produce committed code, and track how adoption changes over time.

With AI adoption metrics, you can:

* See what percentage of committed code was AI-generated, broken down by developer, team, or repository.
* Track the percentage of merged PRs and commits containing AI-attributed code.
* Identify which agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Copilot) are actively used versus licensed but unused.
* Surface power users with high AI commit velocity to understand winning patterns and scale them across the org.

### Track token spend and efficiency <a href="#track-token-spend-and-efficiency" id="track-token-spend-and-efficiency"></a>

Know how much AI spend produced shipped code versus how much was wasted on uncommitted sessions, wrong model choices, and missed cache opportunities.

With efficiency metrics, you can:

* Identify wasted spend: tokens burned in sessions where no code was committed.
* Spot optimizable spend: expensive model choices for simple tasks, low cache hit rates, and high turn counts on basic prompts.
* Calculate cost per work item by correlating session costs with your issue tracker.
* Compare spend by developer, team, agent, and repository.

### Measure impact on delivery <a href="#measure-impact-on-delivery" id="measure-impact-on-delivery"></a>

Connect AI activity to the delivery metrics that reveal whether AI adoption is improving how your organization ships.

With impact metrics, you can:

* Compare PR velocity and lead time across AI-assisted and non-AI developers.
* Track features delivered and backlog reduction at different levels of AI adoption.
* Monitor DORA metrics, including deployment frequency, change failure rate, lead time, and MTTR, to ensure AI adoption correlates with delivery health.
* Map engineering output to business priorities to demonstrate ROI.

### Create an Org Tree <a href="#create-an-org-tree" id="create-an-org-tree"></a>

AI DLC Insights introduces Org Trees, a flexible, scalable way to model your organization as it operates. You can build org structures that reflect reporting lines, business units, or regions by uploading a CSV that defines your organization structure.

On day one, you get an organization-level view of all activity across your developer fleet with no additional configuration required. Create an **Org Tree** to slice metrics by team or manager hierarchy.

Go to [Org Trees](/ai-dlc-insights/3.0/use-ai-dlc-insights/setup/org-trees.md) to set up your organization structure.

### Configure integrations <a href="#configure-integrations" id="configure-integrations"></a>

AI DLC Insights includes a redesigned integrations framework with built-in diagnostics, proactive health monitoring, and advanced retry mechanisms to reduce maintenance overhead and keep your insights pipeline accurate.

Go to [Integrations](/ai-dlc-insights/3.0/use-ai-dlc-insights/setup/integrations/index.md) to integrate your software delivery lifecycle with AI DLC Insights.

### Explore pre-built dashboards <a href="#explore-pre-built-dashboards" id="explore-pre-built-dashboards"></a>

Start analyzing your AI engineering insight dashboards designed around industry-proven metrics, including the following:
