Agile Analytics - Metric Definitions

Agile Board Analytics - Metrics

The Agile Board Analytics module (AgileSpace) analyzes all work items/tickets in an Agile board and produces metrics to help Agile teams better understand the planning, development, and delivery processes.

These Agile metrics shouldn't be used as a target for agile teams, it's just a tool that enables them to identify the signals of their planning, development, and delivery processes. Oobeya leverages these metrics to detect symptoms of the processes.

Agile Analytics Metric Definitions

Metric	Definition
Planned	The count of work items planned before the planning cut-off date*.
Planned Effort	The total effort estimation of work items planned before the planning cut-off date*.
Done Planned	The count of planned work items completed at the end of the sprint.
Pulled in Extra	The count of work items added after the sprint planning cut-off date (unplanned).
Effort Pulled in Extra	The total effort estimation of work items added after the sprint planning cut-off date.
Unfinished	The count of work items remaining incomplete at the end of the sprint.
Unfinished Effort	The total effort estimation for work items unfinished at the end of the sprint.
Unfinished Planned	The count of planned work items remained incomplete at the end of the sprint.
Unfinished Effort Planned	The total effort estimation of planned work items remained incomplete.
Unfinished Effort Pulled in Extra	The total effort estimation of pulled-in extra work items remained incomplete.
Dropped	The count of work items intentionally dropped from the ongoing sprint. (Pulled-in extra work items are also counted if they are dropped from the sprint before the end of the sprint.)
Effort Dropped	The total effort estimation of work items dropped after the planning cut-off date. (Pulled-in extra work items are also counted if they are dropped from the sprint before the end of the sprint.)
End of Sprint	The count of all work items, both completed and incomplete, at the end of the sprint.
Effort End of Sprint	The total effort estimation of all work items, both completed and incomplete, at the end of the sprint.
Done	The count of work items completed at the end of the sprint.
Done Effort	The total effort estimation of work items completed.
Predictability [%]	Done Planned / Planned * 100
Productivity [%]	[(Done Planned + Done Pulled in extra) / Planned] * 100
Churn [%]	[Done Pulled in extra / (Done Planned + Done Pulled in extra)] * 100
Delivery Rate [%]	(Done / Total) * 100
Planning Accuracy [%]	(Done / Planned) * 100

* Planning Cut-off Date: A set date by which all planning activities for a sprint must be completed. Any work items included or removed after this date are considered pulled-in extra or dropped.
