🎯 Slide Deck: Jira Kanban Reports Explained 🟦 Slide 1 — Title
Jira Kanban Reports & Metrics Understanding Flow, Predictability, and Planning
CFD, Cycle Time, Throughput, Burnup Practical insights for Agile teams 🟦 Slide 2 — Why These Reports Matter Improve delivery predictability Detect bottlenecks early Enable data-driven planning Replace guesswork with flow metrics 🟦 Slide 3 — Core Kanban Metrics Cycle Time → How long work takes Throughput → How much you finish WIP → How much you’re juggling Flow → How smooth delivery is
👉 These metrics power all Jira reports
📊 FLOW REPORTS 🟦 Slide 4 — Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD)
What it shows:
Work across statuses over time
Key insight:
Expanding bands = bottleneck Parallel bands = smooth flow
👉 CFD visualizes workflow stability and bottlenecks
🟦 Slide 5 — Control Chart (Cycle Time)
What it shows:
Each dot = one issue Time to complete (cycle time)
Key insight:
Tight grouping → predictable Wide spread → inconsistent
👉 Lower variance = higher predictability
🟦 Slide 6 — Throughput
What it shows:
Items completed per time period
Key insight:
Your true delivery capacity Used for forecasting
👉 Throughput measures completed work over time
🟦 Slide 7 — Created vs Resolved
What it shows:
Incoming work vs completed work
Key insight:
Created > Resolved → backlog growing Resolved > Created → catching up 📈 PLANNING & FORECASTING 🟦 Slide 8 — Burnup vs Burndown
Burndown:
Work remaining over time
Burnup:
Work completed + scope
Key insight:
Burnup is better when scope changes
👉 Burndown tracks remaining work vs time
🟦 Slide 9 — How These Work Together CFD → Where work is stuck Control Chart → How long work takes Throughput → How much you deliver Burnup → Are you hitting goals
👉 Together = full system visibility
🟦 Slide 10 — Kanban vs Scrum Metrics Concept Scrum Kanban Velocity ✅ ❌ Forecasting Velocity Throughput Timebox Sprint Continuous Focus Output Flow 🟦 Slide 11 — Practical Setup (What to Use)
For most teams:
✅ CFD (daily monitoring) ✅ Control Chart (retrospectives) ✅ Throughput (forecasting) ✅ Created vs Resolved (health) 🟦 Slide 12 — Key Takeaways Flow > velocity in Kanban Predictability comes from cycle time consistency Throughput enables realistic planning Visuals help detect issues early 🚀 Want Me to Generate the Actual .PPTX File?
