SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CFD visualization helps teams understand how work flows through statuses over time, highlighting bottlenecks, aging work, and delivery dynamics using a single coherent chart.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stratified, status-aware CFD visualization for daily work-in-progress across issue types.
  • Interactive controls to show/hide statuses and issue types, with per-status color coding.
  • Supports normalization to Day 1 for velocity comparison and downsampling of buckets for readability.
  • Use Case: Compare two releases to identify where items accumulate and how throughput evolves.

Quick Start

Trigger the CFD visualization after ensuring that generate_cfd_data data is present and a workflow mapping has been confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions about cumulative-flow-diagram

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is a cumulative flow diagram used for in agile project management?▼

Apply cumulative flow diagram visualization after confirming workflow mapping and generating CFD data, then trigger the skill to produce interactive stratified charts showing daily work-in-progress across workflow statuses.

How do I visualize workflow bottlenecks using daily item populations?▼

Visualize workflow bottlenecks by plotting daily item populations across statuses with status-driven stratification and per-status color mapping, which highlights where items accumulate and how throughput evolves over time.

Do I need workflow mapping and CFD data before generating cumulative flow charts?▼

Yes, you need a confirmed workflow_discover_mapping and generate_cfd_data results available before triggering the CFD visualization skill to ensure accurate stratified chart output.

Can I normalize cumulative flow data to compare delivery velocity across releases?▼

Yes, the cumulative flow diagram skill supports Done normalization to day 1 for velocity comparison across releases, along with data downsampling for improved chart readability.

Does the cumulative flow diagram support interactive controls for agile data visualization?▼

Yes, the CFD visualization implements interactive toggles within the mcs-charts-base chart framework, enabling users to show or hide statuses and issue types with per-status color coding.

What are the limitations of downsampling workflow statuses in a CFD?▼

Downsampling workflow status buckets improves readability for large datasets but reduces granular visibility into daily status fluctuations, potentially obscuring precise bottleneck detection within the CFD visualization.
