Overview
To begin your journey generating Flow Metrics, you'll first need to model your product value stream. Modeling a product value stream consists of two parts — Product Modeling and Artifact Modeling.
In the Product Modeling tab, determine the tools, projects, and artifacts that are a part of your product value stream.

In the Artifact Modeling tab, model your artifacts into flow items — artifacts carrying business value — and model their states into flow states. This allows Viz to generate Flow Metrics.
