Flow Metrics

Transform your Jira data into actionable delivery insights.

Flow Metrics is a suite of self-hosted tools that help engineering teams understand their delivery performance, forecast completion dates with confidence, and make data-driven decisions. All processing happens locally on your infrastructure, so your data never leaves your control.

Requirements

Git
Docker or Podman (with compose support)
Windows, Linux, or macOS

See INSTALL.md for what you need and the fastest way to get it on your machine.

Getting Started

Clone the Repository

git clone https://gitlab.com/tomasz-feliksik/flow-metrics-base.git
cd flow-metrics-base

When prompted, use token as your username and your access token as the password. The product images come from the same GitLab registry or, if your access was issued for GitHub, from ghcr.io/lean-agility — each product’s README says how to sign in to either.

Shipcast	Forecasting and analytics service with a modern web interface. Predict delivery dates using Monte Carlo simulations and track your team’s flow efficiency.

Each product has its own documentation with step-by-step setup instructions.

Retired

Actionable Metrics is retired and no longer receives updates. It has been replaced by two tools that split its job:

If you used Actionable Metrics for…	Use instead
Looking at your metrics	Flow Metrics Server — no config file, just a query
Scripted or scheduled exports	Lean Flow Metrics — a CLI built for CI

Both are faster, support Azure DevOps as well as Jira, and share one config format. Existing Actionable Metrics installations keep working; its documentation stays available for reference.
