Explanation
Lead time, throughput, and due date performance are the core flow-based performance metrics native to Kanban. Lead time measures the elapsed time from when a work item is requested to when it is delivered. Throughput measures how many items are completed per unit of time. Due date performance measures whether items are completed by their target dates. WIP limits and Kanban boards (B) are Kanban tools and practices, not performance metrics. Sprint cadences (C) are a Scrum concept. Burndown charts (D) are a Scrum artifact and not a native Kanban metric.
