SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyze flow metrics to identify delivery bottlenecks and improve throughput. Use to reveal where work slows, enabling teams to reduce cycle times and increase throughput.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Collect and analyze cycle time, lead time, WIP, and throughput data to identify bottlenecks in delivery.
  • Benchmark against DORA metrics to assess delivery performance levels (Elite/High/Medium/Low) and prioritize improvements.
  • Provide actionable recommendations and a focused experiment proposal to improve flow.

Quick Start

Run a flow-metrics review by collecting cycle time, WIP, and throughput data from your board and report the top bottlenecks.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify delivery bottlenecks using flow metrics?

Identify delivery bottlenecks by collecting and analyzing flow metrics such as cycle time, WIP, lead time, and throughput to reveal where work slows down and prioritize actionable improvements.

What is the best way to benchmark delivery performance against DORA metrics?

Benchmark delivery performance against DORA metrics by assessing your cycle time and throughput data to classify performance levels as Elite, High, Medium, or Low, and prioritize flow improvements accordingly.

Can I use flow metrics analysis for both Kanban and Scrum teams?

Yes, flow metrics analysis applies to both Kanban and Scrum teams to diagnose where work stalls across new feature delivery, bug fixes, and process improvements to increase overall throughput.

How do I run a structured flow metrics review step by step?

Run a structured flow metrics review by collecting cycle time, WIP, and throughput data from your board, benchmarking it against DORA metrics, and generating actionable recommendations and a focused experiment proposal.

Why does work stall in my software delivery process despite high WIP?

Work stalls in software delivery when high WIP limits throughput and extends cycle times; analyzing flow metrics identifies these specific bottlenecks to reduce delays and improve delivery performance.

What data do I need to start analyzing cycle time and lead time?

To start analyzing cycle time and lead time, collect flow metrics data from your project board including work item statuses, WIP counts, and throughput rates to enable a comprehensive DORA-aware performance assessment.
