  • 1.  measuring cycle time of a custom field as columns in kanban board app

    Posted Sep 27, 2014 09:38 AM
    we use the kanban board app and have mapped US schedule states to a custom field as columns for more granular workflow understanding.
    How can we get the cycle time data not for the US schedule states but for the cycle time across the columns from the custom field?

    Hi Anthony, 

    You have additional customization options on the Cycle Time by installing the App from the catalog.  Please follow this link (https://help.rallydev.com/use_apps) for help on adding an app.  Once you are in the catalog, you can select Cycle Time, and it will allow for selecting the states and also different time options.  Please take a look and let us know if you have additional questions.

    Hi Jeri, we use this one already, however the cycle time is only measuring on Schedule State field. I am after Cycle Time measuring on another field which we use to break down the default Schedule State into its sub processes. How can we measure these Cycle Times? This is important to help us understand the source of bottlenecks. Thank you

    Hi Anthony, 

    Unfortunately, this code foir this app is not provided, but you may be able to create an app yourself to do this work. We do have online help documentation available through our wiki at https://help.rallydev.com/app-sdk with information and examples to help get you started.

    I would also recommend visiting Stackoverflow – it is a site where you may get some assistance with this.  The following link will take you to the area where developers who use Rally are active:  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rally

    We do have a Technical Services team which offfers custom coding services.  If this is of interest, your Account Rep could work with you to create a statement of work and prepare a quote.

    Hello, Nik Antonelli gave me a solution from Rally called "Time Spent in State" which really should be a standard app for all Rally users... it's so incredibly useful! (not sure who from Rally wrote this app)
    One question I have about this Time Spent in State is that it shows the time spent in each of the custom field kanban states as well as showing the "state (ready)" which I assume is time spent in that state with the "Ready to pull" flag turned on.
    any time in that "state (ready)" would mean we aren't pulling that US card fast enough right?

    Hi Anthony, I was able to check with the Author of this app.  Here's what he told me:  "Your assessment is correct if you use the ready flag for a card is ready for someone to pull into the next column.  A high value in ready probably means the next state to the right is a bottleneck.  In general, you should investigate what's going on when there's a high p50 (the solid bar) or a big variation (the top and bottom whiskers are far apart)."  If you have any other feedback or questions regarding this, we'd love to hear from you.

    perfect Jeri, as I thought.  Thank you for your help and please do suggest to have this app as a standard app, it's so good!

    Hi Jeri,
    We have been using as provided a custom app for cycle times.
    This was working fantastically until end of last week but is now not working (just showing a blank report instead). can you confirm what's changed and causing issues?
    Here is the code we are using as you provided.
    I have a 2 day workshop on our Cycle times with a Rally coach this thursday/friday so having this report is critical to us!
    (I tried to post as a new case on my account but salesforce integration kept breaking and not posting the case...)
    Thank you.

    Anthony

    I am interested in this "Time Spent in State" report as we are wanting to track cycle times for various story states. Not just from In-Progress to Accepted. Can this be shared?

    Also found this: https://github.com/wrackzone/cycle-time-by-state
    Haven't tried it out but it looks quite promising.

    Hi guys, we now have a revised app, letting you select different states and selectable values for those states, and importantly range of dates rather than the previous "last xx days"
    I know Nik is revising how it pulls data from Rally and to improve conditions for accuracy of absolute values but it should still demonstrate the trends as is.

    https://github.com/nikantonelli/TimeInState

    If you like this one help us feedback so it makes it a standard app... It is s!
