AZ-400: Identify work flow metrics

Cumulative flow, lead time, and cycle time guidance

Lead Time and Cycle Time Widgets

Cycle Times

  • Time it takes for developers to complete work items once they begin working on the items

Time to Recovery

  • How long it takes to recover from a service interruption or failure

Lead Time

  • For continuous flow: Time it takes from when a request is made to when it is closed
  • For sprint process: Time from when work on a request begins to when it is completed (i.e. Active to Closed)

Work in Progress

  • Amount of work or number of work items actively being worked
  • There is a well-defined correlation between lead/cycle time and WIP

Velocity

  • Can indicate how much work a team can complete during a sprint
  • Based on either count of work items or estimation of effort
  • Is not a key performance indicator and should not be treated as one
