Cycle Time

Example

Tracking the average time from "project kicked off" to "project delivered" and watching the trend over successive projects.

Why it matters

Cycle time is a direct, measurable signal of process health. A lengthening cycle time is often an early sign of accumulating friction.

Limits and cautions

Cycle time and lead time are not the same. Cycle time excludes the wait before work starts, lead time includes it.

Relevance to Stelaah

Stelaah's reporting can surface cycle time across projects and tasks, where supported.

This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
