Transition Count

To understand where the flaw in the workflow lies, in addition to cycle time and time in status for each issue, it’s crucial to view how many times an issue has transitioned to each status. If an issue transitions to the same status more than once, it may indicate a back-and-forth process. When this happens two or three times, it can be considered part of the normal workflow, but more transitions may signal a problem.

The number of transitions considered "normal" varies from team to team and should be determined based on experience.

Now you can examine the number of status transitions for each issue within the chart's scope and see it broken down by status, allowing you to investigate potential issues:

To analyze patterns and establish health benchmarks, you can sort issues by the number of transitions:
