This pie chart shows the current status of Program features on the backlog and can be used to measure readiness for a PI (Program Increment).  As the next PI nears there should be less work in Analyzing or Refining state and more work in Ready for PI state. If there are many features in Analyzing and Refining consider adding WIP (work in progress) limits to your feature kanban to increase throughput and preparedness for PI Planning.

This pie chart shows the current Feature backlog make-up by type. A healthy backlog is comprised of:

  • Features - deliver user functionality
  • Enablers - deliver architectural runway and system enhancements
  • Exploration Enablers - activities needed to develop an understanding of system solutions or customer needs (requires Feature to be labeled "Exploration Enabler")

It is important to measure and track how much PI capacity is going to Enabler work, so system operation and optimization can be reduced over time, allowing more capacity for Feature based enhancements.


Compare this chart to PI capacity allocation for the PI to ensure the backlog supports the program's needs for features, Enabling work, and technical debt.

This pie chart shows the current status of Program features on the backlog and can be used to measure readiness for the upcoming PI (Program Increment).  As the next PI nears you would expect an increase of work in Ready for PI state. If there are many features in Analyzing and Refining consider adding WIP (work in progress) limits to your feature kanban to increase throughput and preparedness for PI Planning.

Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD)

This is an area chart that shows the various statuses of work items for an application, version, or iteration. The horizontal x-axis in a CFD indicates time, and the vertical y-axis indicates cards (issues). Each colored area of the chart equates to a workflow status (a column on your board). Status groupings are used for standardization. (See Status Grouping Matrix for more detail)

The CFD can be useful for identifying bottlenecks. If your chart contains an area that is widening vertically over time, the column that equates to the widening area will generally be a bottleneck.

CFD shows the tasks at each stage of the project over time. In the example on the left, the purple area represents the tasks that are completed, the yellow area represents items in development, and the light blue area covers the backlog refinement.

CFD may seem complicated at first but upon closer look, it can provide a number of useful insights. For example, the vertical axis of the chart shows the number of tasks currently being worked or completed. 

The horizontal line represents cycle time.
