AI Bottom Line

AI-narratedcached· 2026-07-19 15:28 UTC

Delivery slowed this period: throughput fell to 75 issues done while median Jira flow lead time remained at 623 hours, with the biggest drag in waiting states before work is ready and while work waits on external response.

AI insight

  • Where AI helps:AI-owned work shows materially lower median lead time at 169.0 hours and lower median cycle time at 147.2 hours; AI-touched work is also lower at 237.8 hours lead time and 153.3 hours cycle time.
  • Where AI hurts:AI-owned work still accumulates waiting in Ready for Staging, and overall team flow remains dominated by non-AI bottlenecks such as Waiting for Client and On Hold.
  • Next focus:Attack waiting-state aging first: review items in Waiting for Client, On Hold, and long-stuck in-progress work, then tighten staging handoff before adding more intake.
