Read your team's flow metrics — cycle time, throughput, WIP, aging work — and say what they actually mean and what to try, not just restate the numbers. Use when asked to interpret cycle time, what do our flow/Actionable-Agile metrics mean, why is delivery slow, or read our Kanban metrics. Produces the health read per metric, the likely bottleneck the numbers point to, 2–3 concrete process experiments to run next, and the trap-to-avoid so the team doesn't game the metric instead of fixing the flow.

# Flow Metrics Interpreter

A dashboard of cycle time and throughput is useless until someone says what it *means* — is the flow healthy, where's it clogging, and what should the team try Monday. This reads the metrics together (they only make sense in relation), points at the likely bottleneck, and proposes specific experiments — while flagging the classic trap of optimising the number instead of the flow it's meant to measure.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The health read** — per metric (cycle time, throughput, WIP, aging), what "good" looks like and where you are
- **The bottleneck the numbers point to** — read together, where work is actually stalling
- **2–3 process experiments** — concrete, small, reversible things to try next (with what to watch)
- **The gaming trap** — how this metric gets optimised dishonestly, so you don't
