FAQPage Schema
How do I add a new calculated metric to a VSM dashboard using test-first development?

To add a calculated metric to a VSM dashboard, define the metric in a feature file, write failing acceptance tests, implement the calculation logic, and wire the result into the metrics store and dashboard UI for end-to-end integration.

What is the workflow for integrating value stream metrics into a dashboard?

The workflow for integrating value stream metrics involves defining the metric via a feature file, writing failing acceptance tests, implementing the calculation, and wiring it into the dashboard UI to track performance.

Can I define VSM dashboard metrics using feature files and acceptance tests?

Yes, you can define VSM dashboard metrics using feature files and enforce a test-first development pattern by writing failing acceptance tests before implementing the calculation logic.

Does the test-first metric workflow require any specific dependencies or components?

No specific dependencies or components are required to implement the test-first metric workflow, allowing teams to define metrics, write acceptance tests, and integrate calculations using their existing software engineering stack.

What's the best way to ensure reliable metric delivery for value stream management?

The best way to ensure reliable metric delivery for value stream management is to enforce a test-first development pattern with code organization and end-to-end integration from metric definition to dashboard UI.
