Velocity Metrics

The Velocity Metrics Dashboard provides insights into your delivery metrics using Cycle Time.

Cycle Time

Definition

Cycle Time refers to the total time taken to complete a single cycle of a process, from the initiation of work to its delivery. It measures the time from developing a feature request to deploying it on production.

Metric Importance

• Customer Satisfaction: Shorter cycle times mean faster delivery, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
• Adaptability: Quick iterations allow teams to adapt to changing requirements and market demands efficiently.
• Resource Optimization: Efficient cycle times ensure optimal use of development resources.

Potential Bottlenecks and How to Mitigate Them

• Code Review Delays: Schedule regular, shorter code review sessions. Use automated tools to catch common issues, and encourage pair programming.
• Manual Testing Overload: Invest in test automation to reduce manual testing efforts. Run automated tests as part of the CI/CD pipeline.
