See your team's throughput at a glance — right on your Azure DevOps dashboard.
The Problem
Azure DevOps doesn't give you a native way to visualize throughput trends over time. You're left exporting data to spreadsheets, building custom Power BI reports, or relying on third-party tools outside your workflow.
Kanban teams running continuous flow have no built-in way to track completed work across custom date ranges. Scrum teams want sprint-by-sprint throughput without leaving their dashboard. Both need it where they already work — not in a separate app.
Throughput Insights solves this with a lightweight dashboard widget that lives right in your Azure DevOps dashboard menu.
How It Works
Two modes, one widget:
Date Range Mode — Define custom cycle lengths (7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or any interval) anchored to a date you choose. Built for Kanban teams and anyone not on fixed iterations.
Iteration Path Mode — Automatically aligns to your actual sprints. See throughput per iteration with sprint names, date ranges, and rolling averages. Built for Scrum teams.
What you see on your dashboard:
A clean line chart or bar chart showing completed work items per cycle
A rolling average table beneath the chart — spot trends instantly
Optional trend line showing whether throughput is rising, flat, or falling
Built-in smart analyzer that reads your throughput patterns and delivers plain-language insights — highlighting volatility, sustained trends, and notable changes to help your team make informed decisions
Configurable per team:
Filter by any team in your project, or view all teams at once
Choose which work item types to track — backlog items, bugs, or both
Automatically detects your project's requirement-level types (User Story, PBI, or custom types)
