SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CFD visualization helps teams understand how work flows through statuses over time, highlighting bottlenecks, aging work, and delivery dynamics using a single coherent chart.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stratified, status-aware CFD visualization for daily work-in-progress across issue types.
  • Interactive controls to show/hide statuses and issue types, with per-status color coding.
  • Supports normalization to Day 1 for velocity comparison and downsampling of buckets for readability.
  • Use Case: Compare two releases to identify where items accumulate and how throughput evolves.

Quick Start

Trigger the CFD visualization after ensuring that generate_cfd_data data is present and a workflow mapping has been confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions about cumulative-flow-diagram

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is a cumulative flow diagram used for in agile project management?

Apply cumulative flow diagram visualization after confirming workflow mapping and generating CFD data, then trigger the skill to produce interactive stratified charts showing daily work-in-progress across workflow statuses.

How do I visualize workflow bottlenecks using daily item populations?

Visualize workflow bottlenecks by plotting daily item populations across statuses with status-driven stratification and per-status color mapping, which highlights where items accumulate and how throughput evolves over time.

Do I need workflow mapping and CFD data before generating cumulative flow charts?

Yes, you need a confirmed workflow_discover_mapping and generate_cfd_data results available before triggering the CFD visualization skill to ensure accurate stratified chart output.

Can I normalize cumulative flow data to compare delivery velocity across releases?

Yes, the cumulative flow diagram skill supports Done normalization to day 1 for velocity comparison across releases, along with data downsampling for improved chart readability.

Does the cumulative flow diagram support interactive controls for agile data visualization?

Yes, the CFD visualization implements interactive toggles within the mcs-charts-base chart framework, enabling users to show or hide statuses and issue types with per-status color coding.

What are the limitations of downsampling workflow statuses in a CFD?

Downsampling workflow status buckets improves readability for large datasets but reduces granular visibility into daily status fluctuations, potentially obscuring precise bottleneck detection within the CFD visualization.
