Kanban Calculations: How to Calculate Cycle Time

One of the fundamental metrics of flow, cycle time refers to the total elapsed time between when an item starts and finishes. Learn how to calculate cycle time using Kanban calculations, which measure work item progress from a customer's perspective. Kanban calculations are wonderfully generic and can be useful to all teams, regardless of the context or system. Calculated cycle time allows teams to make meaningful predictions about completion times and communicate better with customers, making it a valuable addition to your team's toolkit.
