Track Your Flow Efficiency

The Flow Efficiency Chart for Jira visualizes the flow efficiency of your completed issues for the selected time period. The horizontal axis displays flow efficiency percentage, while the vertical axis shows the number of your completed issues.

Pro Tip

Improving flow efficiency begins with visualizing your waiting time. In order to evaluate your flow efficiency, you have to design your board in Jira to support that concept. Make sure you divide the statuses on your board into working statuses where issues are being worked on, and queue statuses, where issues are waiting.

Analyze the Issues with the Longest Waiting Times

The issues on the left side of the chart have the longest queue times. Evaluate them individually and think about the reasons underpinning their delays. The higher your flow efficiency, the faster and smoother your delivery speed.
