Cumulative Flow Diagrams/CFD for Jira (Agile Charts Gadgets)

What I like most about this app is how quickly it turns Jira data into something actionable. Instead of digging through boards and filters, we can immediately see changes in WIP, queue growth, and workflow stability. It has helped us have more productive conversations during retrospectives and planning sessions. A simple tool that delivers real value.

We created separate bands for active development, waiting, and done. That made handoff queues visible and helped us focus improvement work on review and testing rather than asking developers to start more items.

The widening status bands showed us exactly where work was accumulating. It was a much clearer bottleneck signal than scanning the board or relying on anecdotal feedback in retrospectives.

We installed this app because we wanted more visibility into how work moves through our process. The CFD quickly helped us identify stages where issues were spending too much time and highlighted opportunities to improve flow. The charts are clear, easy to configure, and useful for both team discussions and stakeholder updates.

We've been using this app for a few months and it has become one of our go-to reports during team reviews. The cumulative flow diagram makes it very easy to spot bottlenecks and understand where work is piling up. It gives us a much better picture of workflow health than standard Jira reports.
