More details

Kanban Flow Metrics helps Jira Kanban teams monitor delivery flow inside Jira. It calculates lead time and cycle time from workflow statuses, shows health signals on work items, and provides a board-level report for reviewing delivery performance.

Use it to spot aging work, compare completed vs in-progress flow health, and tune targets for work types such as stories, bugs, campaigns, or tasks.
