What is a cumulative flow diagram?

Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) is a visual tool in Agile for tracking work progress in a project.

It shows the cumulative number of tasks at different stages of the process (e.g., Backlog, In Progress, Testing, Done) over time.

Advantages of CFD:

• Allows you to see how tasks move through stages.
• Helps identify bottlenecks if one area grows too quickly.
• Tracks stability and speed of task completion.

Example: if the "In Progress" area on the diagram expands, it means the team is taking on too many tasks at once and cannot finish them quickly enough.
