analyze workflow

Analyze the development workflow to identify bottlenecks, friction, and improvement opportunities.

Steps

1. Map the current development workflow:
2. Measure workflow metrics:
3. Identify bottlenecks:
4. Categorize friction points:
5. Calculate the cost of each bottleneck:
6. Prioritize improvements by impact-to-effort ratio.

Format

Workflow Analysis: <team or project>
Current Metrics:
  Lead Time: 
  Cycle Time: 

Rules

• Measure before proposing changes; intuition is unreliable.
• Focus on the biggest bottleneck first (Theory of Constraints).
• Include developer experience in the analysis, not just metrics.
