Question
You are configuring project metrics for dashboards in Azure DevOps.
You need to configure a chart widget that measures the elapsed time to complete work items once they become active.
Which of the following is the widget you should use?
- A. Cumulative Flow Diagram
- B. Burnup
- C. Cycle time Correct
- D. Burndown
Explanation
The Cycle Time widget measures the elapsed time from when a work item first enters an In Progress (active) state until it reaches a Completed state, which is exactly what is asked. Lead time would start the clock at work item creation instead. Cumulative Flow Diagram shows the count of items in each state over time, and Burnup and Burndown track completed or remaining work against a scope, not elapsed time per item.
