The Throughput Histogram for Jira provides the ability to exclude the appearance of zero values to be able to filter out non-work days – such as weekends, public holidays, vacations etc.
Be aware of the average throughput calculated both with and without weekend values. Including the weekend lows is useful, as it gives you an accurate throughput value to calculate over longer periods of time. Leaving them out of the calculation will provide a more accurate throughput average for a standard business day.
The percentile lines represent your past performance. You can use them to decide the number of issues you can commit to on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, as the percentiles point to the probability of your commitments being met.
You can use your throughput performance metrics as a basis for any short term commitments. Every commitment should come with a goal and the certainty level of that goal being met.
The ‘Throughput Averages’ widget displays your throughput mean, median and mode values. It will help you identify the trends in your team delivery rates over time - ideally, the lines should increase smoothly and stay close to each other.
Select your average and monitor its line profile! Decreasing gradients means that your team is delivering less value. Make sure you have WIP limits in place to prevent bottlenecks and let the work flow smoothly.
