The Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) allows you to visualize the evolution of tickets over time through the different stages of a workflow. Each colored section represents a step in the flow, such as "To Do", "In Progress", "In Review", or "Done". The CFD shows how many tickets are at each stage at any given time, allowing you to track the progress of work and spot bottlenecks that might be slowing flow.
In WiveezFlow Analytics Pro, the Cumulative Flow Diagram allows you to visualize the following information:

The Cumulative Flow Diagram in Wiveez Flow Analytics Pro consists of colored strips stacked on top of each other, representing the different stages of the workflow and the evolution of tickets through those stages.

Let's imagine a Cumulative Flow Diagram in Wiveez Flow Analytics Pro for a software development project:
Swelling backlog: If the band representing the Backlog (“To do”) is growing day by day, this means that more and more tickets are being added without being processed. This may indicate a prioritization problem or work overload for the team.
Bottleneck in "In Progress": If the "In Progress" band (tickets in development) becomes much wider than the other bands, it means that too many tickets are stuck in this stage, signaling a bottleneck in "In Progress" bottleneck in the development process.
Stability of flow: If all the bands are progressing smoothly and the "Done" band is gradually widening, this shows that the work is moving through the different stages smoothly, without major obstacles. This means that the team manages its workflow well.

Flow Analytics Pro
The Cumulative Flow Diagram in Wiveez Flow Analytics Pro allows teams to:
Visually track the progress of tickets through each stage of the workflow, understanding how tickets accumulate or move between stages over time.
Identify bottlenecks in the process. Excessive accumulation of tickets in a particular stage shows a blockage that needs to be resolved to smooth the flow.
Evaluate flow stability and capacity: A stable flow, with bands progressing steadily, indicates effective ticket management. If the bands become irregular or stagnant, this signals a need for intervention.
