Introduction

Reducing Flow Time Variability is an activity that empowers teams to deliver work more reliably and consistently. You can leverage the 85th percentile Flow Time metric to achieve this goal. By regularly reviewing the 85th Percentile, teams gain valuable insights into the expected completion times for their work items, enabling them to provide stakeholders with accurate and transparent estimates. If the observed variability in Flow Time exceeds desired thresholds, teams can leverage flow metrics to improve planning accuracy and enhance communication.

Reducing Flow Time variability not only improves predictability but also fosters trust and confidence among stakeholders, as teams demonstrate their ability to deliver work consistently and within expected timeframes. This, in turn, facilitates better alignment, collaboration, and ultimately, more successful project outcomes.
