Explanation
A Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) in Kanban plots the number of work items in each workflow state (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done) over time as stacked bands. It provides measurements for every significant workflow step and makes bottlenecks, cycle time, and throughput visible at a glance. A Kanban board shows current state but doesn't track history. A Burndown Chart tracks remaining work toward a fixed goal. A Parking Lot Chart is used in meetings to capture off-topic items for later discussion.
