- [Review code faster](https://help.swarmia.com/guides/improve-pull-request-flow/review-code-faster.md): Code rarely ages well, and merging doesn’t get any easier over time. Here's how Swarmia helps your team get pull requests through faster.
- [Diagnosing low pull request throughput](https://help.swarmia.com/guides/improve-pull-request-flow/diagnosing-low-pull-request-throughput.md): Throughput is more difficult to improve than for example cycle time, since it reflects the team's overall situation rather than just the process.
