Throughput and Cycle Time for Jira

Throughput and Cycle Time for Jira answers the two questions a delivery lead is asked in every planning session: how much can we get through, and how long will one thing take? It reads the full status history of your work items straight from Jira and turns it into numbers a team can commit to. Throughput per week or per month, with a four period rolling average drawn through the bars, because the rolling number is the one worth quoting and a single week never is. Cycle time as a scatter: one dot per finished item, on the day it finished, with your median, 85th and 95th percentile drawn across it. A histogram of the same cycle times, because the shape of the tail is where commitments break. Lead time next to cycle time, with the waiting time before anyone started shown as the difference, which is usually the larger half.
