# Why don't I see delivery accuracy for Kanban boards?

#### Why Delivery Accuracy isn’t shown for kanban boards:

1. **Sprint-Based Metrics**:
   * Delivery Accuracy calculates the planned vs. completed work based on a **sprint cycle**. This includes determining the percentage of tickets completed relative to those planned for the sprint.
   * Since Kanban does not operate with defined time-boxed sprints, this metric is incompatible with its continuous delivery flow.
2. **Kanban’s continuous nature**:
   * Kanban focuses on **workflow optimization and throughput**, with no strict boundaries like sprint start or end dates.
   * Without those boundaries, measuring planned vs. completed work over a set timeframe (as required for Delivery Accuracy) would yield incomplete or misleading results.
