Example

Let's assume you are a mobile app solution provider. Your organization caters to clients with custom solutions who look for widgets to be built for the purpose of streamlining their business. Your kanban backlog and board tracks all the items that your team is working on. These items could be user stories, bugs, or tasks. You need to assess your organization's performance on those items based on their progress and completion.

Your cycle time trend report helps you monitor the weekly cycle time trend based on the time that each work item type spends on the board until completion. That is, you can understand which type of item takes the most time and also figure out the average duration taken to complete items in a particular week.
