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.

You may notice sprints appearing in the sprint filter for Kanban boards; these are weekly dummy sprints generated from the backend to provide a trend representation in the Issue tab.
