Throughput, lead-time percentiles, and Monte Carlo delivery forecasting — right inside your Jira projects.
- Read-only
- Stores nothing
- Any Jira plan
- Free tier
Overview
A Forge-based Atlassian Marketplace app that adds a Flow Metrics tab to your Jira projects. It computes throughput, lead-time percentiles, and probabilistic delivery forecasts from your issue data — read-only, with nothing stored and metrics computed fresh on each view. Works on any Jira plan, including Free.
Features
- Throughput and lead-time percentiles (50/85/95) with trend charts
- Monte Carlo delivery forecasting at 50/85/95% confidence (Pro)
- Aging WIP flagged against your 85th-percentile lead time (Pro)
- Rovo agent — ask throughput and lead time in plain English (free); forecasts via Rovo with Pro
- Export charts as PNG/SVG in on-screen colors, and history as spreadsheet-ready CSV
- Works on any Jira plan — no Premium or Advanced Roadmaps required
- Read-only and stores nothing — metrics computed fresh on each view
- Built on Atlassian Forge — runs entirely on Atlassian, with no data egress
- Free tier available; Pro forecasting with a free trial
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Jira plans does it work on?
Any Jira plan, including Free. The app computes throughput, lead time, and forecasts itself from issue data via standard read APIs — you do not need Jira Premium or Advanced Roadmaps.
Does the app store my data?
No. The app is read-only, makes no external calls, and stores nothing — every metric is computed fresh from Jira on each view. It runs entirely on Atlassian's Forge platform with no data egress.
How is the delivery forecast calculated?
A Monte Carlo simulation samples your historical throughput thousands of times to estimate when remaining work will finish, reported as dates at 50%, 85%, and 95% confidence rather than a single false-precision number.
Does it work with Scrum and Kanban?
Yes. Flow metrics don't depend on sprints, so the app works for both Scrum and Kanban teams.
What is included in the free tier?
Throughput, lead-time percentiles, the trend chart, and CSV export are free. Monte Carlo forecasting and Aging WIP are part of Pro, which has a free trial.

Lead Time Percentiles vs. Velocity: What Should Your Team Track?
Velocity tells you how many points you burned. Lead time percentiles tell you when work actually ships. Here’s why the second answers the questions stakeholders ask.
