Cycle Lead time

[Eda Kuchta]

Is it possible to filter the average cycle time per release/ PI or specific timebox such as start and end date?
Is it also possible to create trend chart for several releases/iterations?
One note, this app does not seem to get the same data as community cycle time chart app.

Hi Eda,

The app you are using is one of the older ones and is fairly fixed in its functionality. If you want to get cycle times in the way you want, you may need to look at more custom apps such as:

Hi, Nik,
 I am afraid we do not have any of the two apps listed. How can we access them?
 This is all we have in rally for the term "cycle". The term "state" returns even less results.

Hi tono,

These are custom apps that need their source code inserting into your environment. If you search for "Custom HTML" app in the help pages, you should get to here: 
https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/agile-development-and-management/rally-platform-ca-agile-central/rally/customizing-top/use-apps/app-catalog/custom-html.html

The App-uncompressed.html file in the 'Deploy' directory in one of those repos has the code in that you need to paste into a Custom HTML app that you have added to a new page

Hi, Nik,
 I am using the TimeInState app for quite some time now. I keep noticing, though, that disregarding whether I choose to "Follow Global Project Setting" and change the project on the board or "Choose Specific Project" the displayed data is still the same. Is it possible that this custom application is completely disregarding the project setting? If yes, then what is it listing?

 Our hierarchy of the projects matches the teams - value stream level - release train level - teams. Thus each rally project is a specific team. Switching between the projects or picking a specific one in the custom app settings does not change the displayed chart anyhow.

Hi Anton,

The LBAPI seems to behave differently from the WSAPI in how it handles context. I have added a bit of code that should help. Can you try it out and let me know if it does what you expect?

Thanks.

Hi,
 I can confirm that now it at least shows different data :). Will have to experiment with shorter time frame to be sure what I am seeing.
The official community "Cycle Time Data" app gives me different items for the same time frame. See the attached screenshots.
 How exactly are the values calculated?
 Thanks,
 t.
