The framework

Evidence in. Understanding out.

TDF diagnoses delivery systems by analysing flow, value, predictability, and quality—without reducing complex work to a scoreboard.

Four connected lenses

No single metric tells the truth about delivery. TDF reads related signals together and preserves their context.

01 / FLOW

How does work move?

Lead time, cycle time, time in status, touch time, throughput, and constraints.

02 / PREDICTABILITY

How consistent is delivery?

Variation, historical trends, delivery pressure, and confidence in likely outcomes.

03 / QUALITY

What pressure is quality under?

Defect patterns, resolution ratios, release quality, and value delivery signals.

The diagnostic loop
01

Observe

Build a consistent view of workflow history and configuration from Jira.

02

Measure

Calculate stable, defined metrics from a canonical measurement context.

03

Diagnose

Connect signals, trends, constraints, and the confidence of the evidence.

04

Improve

Use the evidence to focus a team conversation, then observe what changes.

TDF is diagnostic, not prescriptive. It helps teams ask better questions; it does not pretend there is one universal answer.
