What are scorecards?

In Compass, you can create scorecards to measure the health of your components based on your unique requirements.

Scorecards in Compass are a set of criteria that you can apply to a component to measure its health. Each criterion, such as adding a component owner team or adding documentation, has a weight associated with it. All criteria add up to 100% completion, and the current percentage based on the completed criteria represents the score of the component.

Scorecards provide you with strong guidance to cultivate behavior that improves your organization's DevOps practices. They offer you a framework to ensure your software components are healthy and teams are following the recommended best practices. Scorecards not only show a component's health but also indicate the areas that need improvement.

Creating your own scorecards enables you to:

  • define company-wide standards and policies to ensure that all teams are aiming for the same standards

  • define team-level standards to ensure they follow their own best practices, in addition to the company-wide standards

You can create a maximum of three scorecards on a Free plan, 50 on a Standard plan, and 100 on a Premium plan.
