    Business Agility Metrics

    Improve market response and predictability

    IT, group, and portfolio-level dashboards help executives and leaders identify systemic issues, drive improvements, and sustain transformation momentum.

    • Maximize ROI. Value diminishes as work waits. Insights into efficiency and aging help focus the organization on getting the right work done, fast.
    • Inform tradeoffs with capacity insights. Agility can only be reached if delivery teams are not overutilized. Use data-driven capacity insights to set priorities and make more effective tradeoffs.
    • Improve decision-making. Strike the right balance between innovation and long-term sustainability with product management insights.
    • Embed good practices. Our dashboards codify good lean-agile practices. Leaders and teams are alerted when value streams are becoming unhealthy so they can become proactive in solving problems.
  • Live value stream visualization and Bottleneck Finder help identify precisely where and why work is getting stuck. View • a larger version of the image
    Efficiency and Cost Reduction

    Identify bottlenecks and dependencies

    Optimizing anywhere outside the system’s bottleneck is counter-productive. Bottleneck Finder traces work through all its steps and clearly visualizes where things are getting stuck.

    • Visualize and tackle constraints. See where work is piling up and aging and focus your resources where it will make a difference.
    • Reduce the rework and unplanned work. See at a glance when quality is deteriorating and get to the root cause by examining the source of the underlying defects.
    • Understand and mitigate dependencies. Find out where process or product dependencies are slowing down delivery, and proactively take action to avoid missed commitments.
    • Safely experiment to see results. Flow Metrics reflect the effectiveness of your improvement efforts. If it’s working, double down. If it’s not helping, try something else.
