Build time is measured in hours and minutes and should be logged overtime. From start to finish, you’ll log build time, usually in a graph. Eventually when you’ve gotten enough information, you can start to look at averages and specific aspects of builds that contribute to build time. You’ll also start to notice trends that allow your team to make better decisions about time allocation.
