Describe your idea

Add additional information to the chart in a table:

• percentile measures like:

  • 80% of your work is finished in 6 days

  • 50% of your work is finished in 2 days

• Add a WIP line to the chart so it's better to spot the relationship between WIP and cycle time

• Look at some sort of forecasting too for example

  • You have a 50% chance of finishing 10 items in the next 2 weeks

  • You have a 80% change of finishing 5 items in the next 2 weeks.
