    It gives you an amazing dashboard with graphs and data that helps in analyzing our work. Through cycle metric tracking, the throughput of your teams is great as compared to agile metrics such as Scrum Velocity.

    Much more advanced and customizable than iterations of the above tools I've used. But more focused on Flow metrics than others. And more complex, IMO.

    Planview Viz Screenshots

    Screenshot of Portfolio Insights consolidates the highlights from a product line, portfolio, group, or department.Screenshot of The Flow Metrics dashboard visualizes and measures product value streams. Out-of-the-box metrics and analytics reveal problem areas, illuminate dependencies, and guide investment to improve speed, velocity, and quality.Screenshot of The Flow Modeler is a visual layout of the end-to-end workflow of an entire value stream, from customer request to customer delivery. Flow Modeler builds the value stream map directly from the data in the user's tools and shows in real-time where bottlenecks are emerging.Screenshot of An easy-to-read Neglected Work Work in Progress (WIP) graph alerts you when value streams have taken on more work than they can deliver.Screenshot of Business-aligned visibility into value delivery aligns teams to measurable outcomes. Flow Metrics alone do not help an organization accelerate value delivery - they must be evaluated against business results. Business and technology teams can work toward a single set of goals and align around a joint set of outcomes.
