### Overview [The Six SAFe/Flow Metrics:](https://premieragile.com/complete-details-on-safe-flow-metrics/) 1. Flow Time - same as lead time, and it's already done. 1. Flow Velocity (Items completed) 1. Flow Load (Work items in progress) 1. Flow Efficiency (Total items completed / Work items in progress) 1. Flow Distribution (Items by type) 1. Flow Predictability (TBD) #### Additional Lifecycle metrics: 2. Flow Throughput (completed/total) 3. Total Flow items (Velocity+Load) ### Problem to solve <!-- What is the user problem you are trying to solve with this issue? --> As a user of GitLab practicing [SAFe](https://www.scaledagileframework.com/metrics/), it is hard for me to get started and understand how to build a VSM using SAFE workflow. ### Proposal <!-- Use this section to explain the feature and how it will work. It can be helpful to add technical details, design proposals, and links to related epics or issues. --> Add out-of-the-box labels and an out of the box SAFE Value stream that can be selected for easy onboarding. | Lifecycle metrics | Comparison + Lifecycle metrics | | ------ | ------ | |  |  | <details><summary>Related information</summary> #### Connecting Flow Metrics with Business Results   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cq0A8TVhVq0ibEoK0fo3WH_rFcmXDwLn/view #### Flow Metrics & OKRs Flow Metrics can be used as KRs that measure end-to-end value delivery, tied to actual capacity. Improvements to flow will enable the organization to achieve targeted business results, hence Value Stream OKRs focused on accelerating flow will motivate teams to apply resources to their bottlenecks. Unlike business KRs, which measure outcomes — and are thus lagging, Flow Metrics track value stream improvement — and are thus leading indicators. </details> ### Design source :frame_photo: [Figma project →](https://www.figma.com/file/EYuE5P0pU5HkDTS1sQmEe4/Value-stream-dashboard?node-id=633%3A35063&t=pwPdcoDphlwCRGjL-1) <!-- triage-serverless v3 PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS SECTION --> *This page may contain information related to upcoming products, features and functionality.
