The lean-stack take

For a Kanban team it turns board data into flow metrics such as cycle time, throughput and work item age. Teams use the charts in reviews and to forecast delivery with Monte Carlo simulation.

Best for

Kanban and Scrum teams on Azure DevOps, Jira or GitHub Issues that already use Power BI and want free flow metrics.

Watch out for

You need Power BI and someone comfortable setting up the data connection, and the template is a community project rather than a supported product.

About

About FlowViz

FlowViz is a set of Power BI templates created by Nick Brown and published on GitHub. Separate versions read work items from Azure DevOps, Jira and GitHub Issues.

Written by lean-stack from FlowViz's public pages. Vendors can replace it with their own description by claiming this profile.

Features

What FlowViz offers

Azure DevOps template

The main FlowViz repository holds the Power BI template for Azure DevOps, with releases and a wiki. Teams on Azure Boards can start here.

Jira template

A separate FlowViz-Jira repository covers teams that track work in Jira. It gives Jira boards the same flow views.

GitHub Issues template

The FlowViz-GitHub repository describes a Power BI template with flow metrics and predictive analytics for teams using GitHub Issues.

Flow metrics

A ProKanban.org comparison lists cycle time, throughput and cumulative flow diagrams among FlowViz charts. These are the core Kanban measures of flow.

Monte Carlo forecasting

The same comparison lists Monte Carlo forecasting. Teams can answer "when will it be done" with a range and a probability instead of a single date.

Blocker analysis

ProKanban.org notes blocker clustering in FlowViz. This helps a team see where work waits and which causes of delay repeat.

Related templates

The same author publishes separate Power BI templates for epic and feature flow metrics and for process behavior charts. These extend flow views to larger work items.
