What Is Value Stream Analytics?
Value stream analytics tracks the time work spends in each stage of the software delivery lifecycle, from initial issue through review, build, and deployment. It quantifies where work waits and how long each stage takes. It turns a vague sense of slowness into measured bottlenecks teams can target.
Why it matters
Teams often guess at where delivery is slow and optimize the wrong stage. Value stream analytics shows the actual time in each phase, so effort goes where the real delay is. CI and pipeline time is one such stage, and reducing it, including via faster runners, directly shortens the stream.
