Agile Metrics Calculator

Overview

The Agile Metrics Calculator skill provides comprehensive calculation and analysis of Agile delivery metrics. It supports Scrum, Kanban, and hybrid methodologies with velocity tracking, burndown/burnup charts, flow metrics, and predictive forecasting using statistical methods.

Capabilities

Velocity Metrics

  • Calculate team velocity with running averages
  • Track velocity trends and stability
  • Compute velocity range (min, max, average)
  • Factor in team capacity changes
  • Calculate normalized velocity per team member

Burndown and Burnup Charts

  • Generate sprint burndown charts
  • Generate release burnup charts
  • Calculate ideal trendlines
  • Show scope change impact
  • Project completion dates

Flow Metrics (Kanban)

  • Calculate cycle time and lead time
  • Analyze throughput trends
  • Calculate flow efficiency
  • Generate cumulative flow diagrams (CFD)
  • Identify bottlenecks and blockers

Forecasting

  • Perform Monte Carlo forecasting
  • Calculate probability distributions for completion
  • Generate confidence intervals
  • Compute predictability metrics
  • Support "how many" and "when" forecasts

Usage

Input Requirements

  • Sprint/iteration data with story points
  • Work item history with state transitions
  • Team capacity information
  • Backlog with estimates
  • Optional: Historical velocity data

Output Deliverables

  • Velocity charts and statistics
  • Burndown/burnup visualizations
  • Flow metrics report (cycle time, throughput)
  • Cumulative flow diagram
  • Monte Carlo forecast with confidence levels

Example Use Cases

  1. Sprint Planning: Use velocity for capacity planning
  2. Release Planning: Forecast release dates with confidence
  3. Flow Optimization: Analyze CFD to identify bottlenecks
  4. Team Improvement: Track predictability trends

Process Integration

This skill integrates with the following processes:

  • agile-metrics-velocity.js
  • Sprint Planning and Backlog Refinement
  • Kanban Flow Optimization
  • Release Forecasting

Dependencies

  • Statistical analysis libraries
  • Time series analysis
  • Probability calculations
  • Visualization libraries
