Analytics

Once the setup is complete, you’ll have access to a full suite of analytics dashboards. Here’s a glimpse of what FlowMetrics looks like in action.

3.1 Drill down into any metric

Click on any metric to open a detailed drill-down view. For example, the Lead Time Drill Down shows the historical trend of lead times broken down by Portfolio, Team and Individual Contributor — with separate lines for Development and Discovery work types.

Lead Time Drill Down

Use the tabs at the top to switch between Historical View, Predictability, Histogram, Scatterplot, Work Type Overview and Completed Work Detailed Report.

3.2 Fitness Criteria and Work Overview

The Fitness Criteria section gives you an instant health check of your delivery process. The top row displays the key metrics:

  • Lead Time and Lead Time Target Met
  • Delivery Predictability and Delivery Rate Comparison
  • Value Delivered and Workflow Efficiency

The Work Overview section breaks work down into Upcoming Work, Work in Progress and Completed Work — each with a historical view and volume counts.

The card includes two status donut charts showing progress distribution (On Track / At Risk / Behind / Not Rated), a completion progress bar across all linked boards, and these sections:

  • Scope — total items, broken down by Not Started, In Progress and Completed.
  • Predictive Analysis — forecasted delivery date with an estimated confidence level.
  • Risk — risk exposure in days and financial impact.
  • Dependency — dependencies categorised by severity: High, Medium and Low.
  • Burndown — a chart tracking remaining work against the target timeline.
