SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps managers and engineers identify bottlenecks and optimize delivery flows by analyzing story and feature cycle times.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cycle Time Analysis: Calculate and distribute cycle times to surface bottlenecks and predict delivery.
  • Flow Metrics: Correlate team-level flow health with DORA metrics.
  • WIP Limit Check: Recommend WIP limits to reduce cycle time.
  • Benchmarks: Compare team performance against industry standards.

Quick Start

Run the flow-metrics-analysis skill with your last 4–12 weeks of story/feature data to identify bottlenecks and improve flow efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions about flow-metrics-analysis

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze cycle times to identify delivery bottlenecks?▼

To analyze cycle times and identify bottlenecks, provide 4–12 weeks of story or feature data including ticket IDs, titles, and status changes. The Skill processes this data to surface delays and outputs a detailed flow metrics report with optimization recommendations.

Can I use Jira CSV export data to calculate flow metrics and DORA lead time?▼

Yes, you can use Jira CSV export data to calculate flow metrics. The Skill supports Jira CSV exports and other sources containing required ticket IDs, titles, and status changes to correlate team-level flow health with DORA lead time.

What is the best way to determine WIP limits to improve delivery flow efficiency?▼

The best way to determine WIP limits is to analyze your story and feature cycle times. The Skill evaluates your current flow metrics and recommends specific WIP limits to reduce cycle time and optimize overall delivery flow efficiency.

How do flow metrics correlate with DORA metrics for benchmarking team performance?▼

Flow metrics correlate with DORA metrics by mapping team-level flow health directly against DORA lead time. The Skill performs this correlation and compares your team's performance against industry standards to identify optimization opportunities.

What data fields do I need to perform a cycle time analysis and check for bottlenecks?▼

You need data fields such as ticket IDs, titles, and status changes to perform cycle time analysis. Providing 4–12 weeks of this story and feature data allows the Skill to accurately calculate distributions and identify delivery bottlenecks.
