I need to somehow visualize a project with graphs, commits, some analysis, etc. Stuff that people (who don’t know terms like “version control” or “git” – i.e. illiterate people in that domain) that this project has required XYZ amount of work measured in X, Y, Z. Indicators, in other words. ZYZ amount of developers where Z correspond language P of proportion %%, language T of proportion, etc.
How can I explain in a hectic situation a bit of a technical project to managers XYZ objectively without reinventing the wheel? I am a bit fed up explaining things again-and-again-and-again and things do not proceed because they do not understand the issues at all. If I could get some automatic log summary or PDF or RSS or something like that, they may understand things better. We are currently using Flowdock where our logs appear in real-time but even with it, they want more details (they can only see the log msgs). But without looking at the repo they cannot see much else.
Any automatic repository visualizer or something like that?
Github has some visual guides like impact, punchcard etc.
