+# Conversational Development Index
+
+> [Introduced][ce-30469] in GitLab 9.3.
+
+Conversational Development Index (ConvDev) gives you an overview of your entire
+instance's feature usage, from idea to production. It looks at your usage in the
+past 30 days, averaged over the number of active users in that time period. It also
+provides a lead score per feature, which is calculated based on GitLab's analysis
+of top performing instances, based on [usage ping data][ping] that GitLab has
+collected. Your score is compared to the lead score, expressed as a percentage.
+The overall index score is an average over all your feature scores.
+

+
+The page also provides helpful links to articles and GitLab docs, to help you
+improve your scores.
+
+Your GitLab instance's usage ping must be activated in order to use this feature.
+Usage ping data is aggregated on GitLab's servers for analysis. Your usage
+information is **not sent** to any other GitLab instances.
+
+If you have just started using GitLab, it may take a few weeks for data to be
+collected before this feature is available.
