Reading Your Team's Flow Dashboard

Flow Dashboard - see your team's delivery health at a glance

The Flow Intelligence dashboard displays your team's delivery health at a glance.

How predictable is your team? — This section shows your team's delivery predictability over the last 6 sprints.

We use Coefficient of Variation (CV) — a statistical measure of consistency — to analyze your core flow metrics and give you a single predictability score.

• Lower CV = more predictable — Your team delivers consistently

• Higher CV = less predictable — Delivery times vary significantly

Learn how Process Variation is calculated

Overall Process Variation — Shows your team's overall delivery predictability based on the last 6 sprints.

• Green (Highly Predictable) — CV below 30%. Consistent delivery process, reliable forecasting possible.

• Orange (Moderately Predictable) — CV 30-50%. Some variation, forecasting still viable.

• Dark Orange (Low Predictability) — CV 50-70%. Significant variation, forecasting becomes difficult.

• Red (Unpredictable) — CV above 70%. Traditional forecasting methods unreliable, prioritize process stabilization.

Variation by Metric - Breaks down stability across three core flow metrics:

• Throughput (CV) — Consistency in how many items you complete per sprint

• Work in Progress (CV) — Consistency in how many items are being worked on

• Cycle Time (CV) — Consistency in how long items take to complete

Same color thresholds apply — green is stable, orange/red indicates areas needing attention.

Sprint Metrics — Shows your current sprint's performance compared to the previous 6 sprints.

Each card displays:

• Current value

• Trend line across recent sprints

• Change vs previous sprint (green = improved, red = declined)

Tip: Hover over the trend line to see values for each sprint.

Cycle Time — Average time from when work starts until it is completed.

Lower is generally better. A rising trend may indicate bottlenecks, blockers, or larger work items entering the sprint.

Work in Progress (WIP) — Average number of items being worked on simultaneously.

Lower WIP typically leads to faster flow and more predictable delivery. Spikes may indicate too much work started but not finished.

Throughput — Number of issues completed this sprint.

Measures your team's delivery rate. Consistency matters more than maximizing output — look for stable trends rather than peaks and valleys.

Flow Efficiency — Percentage of time items spent in active work vs waiting.

Higher is better. Industry average is around 15% — if yours is low, work is spending most of its time waiting rather than being worked on.
