TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

The CFD shows the count of items in each Kanban column for the selected time period. From this chart, you can gain an idea of the amount of work in progress and lead time. Work in progress counts unfinished requirements. Lead time indicates the amount of time it takes to complete a requirement once work has started.

For the CFD to provide useful information, you'll want to update the status of work items to reflect progress as it occurs. You can quickly make these updates through your Kanban board.

For usage guidance, see Cumulative flow, lead time, and cycle time guidance.
