Process Flow

Cycle time is 9 days. Coding took 2. Where did the rest go?

Process Flow breaks your engineering pipeline into the stages that matter: coding, pickup, review, and merge. Every cycle time conversation starts with a diagnosis, not a debate.

Four stages that explain every cycle time number.

Find the stage slowing your pipeline down

The stacked column chart shows how each week's cycle time splits across coding, pickup, review, and merge. The tallest bar is the one to fix first.

From a slow sprint to the PRs that caused it

Click any bar and the PRs behind it appear instantly: author, time per stage, linked ticket. Retrospectives stop running on memory and start running on evidence.

Compare this sprint to last, stage by stage

Filter to any sprint window. Every stage measured, every PR accountable. See whether retro actions actually moved the numbers, or whether the same bottleneck is compounding sprint over sprint.

Extend the view all the way to production

Connect CI/CD and two more stages appear: merge to deploy and total lead time from first commit to production. DORA Delivery Lead Time, drillable to the PR.

Four tabs. Every angle on engineering effort.

‍

Sprint and release cycle view

Filter to any sprint or named release. Compare sprint over sprint to track whether retro actions actually moved the numbers.

‍

Per-developer breakdown

Filter to a single developer to see their personal stage breakdown. Spot where they're the bottleneck vs. where they're waiting.

‍

Branch and label filtering

Scope the view to specific branches, labels, or workspaces. Isolate main branch delivery or compare release branches against development.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for teams running multiple sprints or release cycles?

Yes. Filter to any date range, sprint window, or named release cycle and the chart rebuilds around that period. Compare sprint over sprint or quarter over quarter in the same view.

Can I use this to prepare for a leadership review?

A primary use case. Filter to the period you're presenting and Process Flow gives a stage-by-stage picture of delivery performance, with the PRs behind every number available one click away.

What if an outlier PR is skewing our averages?

Exclude it directly from the chart. All metrics update immediately. Reinstate from Settings at any time.
