Explanation

A Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) is an area chart that shows the quantity of work in each stage of the workflow over time. Each colored band represents a stage (e.g., Backlog, In Progress, Done), and the width of each band at any point indicates the amount of WIP in that stage. It is used to identify bottlenecks, measure flow stability, and track throughput and cycle time trends - distinguishing it from a Burndown (which tracks remaining work) or a Burnup chart (which tracks completed work).
