Question

Drag and Drop Question You have a project in Azure DevOps. You need to configure a dashboard that will provide information on the following metrics. - How long it takes to close a work item - The number of completed backlog items - How long it takes to restore failed services Which type of widget should you use for each metric? To answer, drag the appropriate widget types to the correct metrics. Each widget type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer: Expplanation: Box 1: Cycle time Cycle time measures the time it takes to complete a work item, from the moment work begins until it is completed (or closed). Box 2: Velocity Velocity measures the amount of work completed during a sprint or iteration. It is typically used to track the number of completed backlog items. Box 3: Lead time Lead time measures the total time from when an issue is identified (or work is requested) until it is resolved (such as restoring a failed service).

Correct arrangement

  • Cycle time
  • Velocity
  • Lead time

Explanation

Cycle time is correct for 'how long it takes to close a work item' because it measures the elapsed time from when work starts to when it closes. Velocity tracks the count of completed backlog items per sprint/iteration, making it the right fit for measuring completed backlog throughput. Lead time captures the total elapsed time from when a work item is created (e.g., an incident is logged) to when it is resolved, which directly maps to restoring failed services - a key DORA metric concept.
