Ticket Cycle Time

Ticket Cycle Time measures the average time it takes for a ticket to move from the "In Progress" status to the "Done" status. It is a key metric in DevOps that represents the efficiency of your engineering workflow and the speed of your delivery.

How Typo Calculates Ticket Cycle Time

1. Data Sources

Typo gathers data from your integrated tools to provide an accurate and comprehensive view of your team's cycle time.

  • Issue Tracker (e.g., Jira, Linear): Provides critical data on issue types, status history, and timestamps.

  • Custom Fields: Allows for filtering and analysis based on custom categories (e.g., "Developer," "Team name").

2. Calculation Logic

Typo calculates the time from the moment a ticket enters the "In Progress" state until it is marked as "Done".
