# Project Analytics - Metric Definitions

## Project Analytics - Metrics

The Project Analytics module 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](https://oobeya.io/) leverages these metrics to detect symptoms of the processes.

**\* 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.
