It's worth also reading https://chaoss.community/kb/metric-libyears/ - as noted elsewhere, regularly updating libraries, or a library that infrequently pushes out large breaking changes will not reflect as easily in Libyear, but it's worth having it as something to gauge out-of-date-ness

I've been using that alongside some other metrics for providing insights into how behind teams are on updates

What are some other metrics that you are using? I am working on a product that is helping to keep dependencies up to date and would love to integrate some of these things in the product.
