Cycle Analytics measures the time it takes to go from an [idea to production] for Cycle Analytics measures the time spent to go from an [idea to production] for

multiple stages an idea has to pass through to be shipped.
Cycle Analytics is useful in order to quickly determine the velocity of a given
project. It points to bottlenecks in the development process, enabling management
to uncover, triage, and root-cause slowdowns in the software development life cycle.

You can see that there are seven stages in total: There are seven stages that are tracked as part of the Cycle Analytics calculations.
- **Issue** (Tracker) - **Issue** (Tracker)
- Median time from issue creation until given a milestone or list label - Time to schedule an issue (by milestone or by adding it to an issue board)
(first assignment, any milestone, milestone date or assignee is not required)
- **Plan** (Board) - **Plan** (Board)
- Median time from giving an issue a milestone or label until pushing the - Time to first commit
first commit to the branch
- **Code** (IDE) - **Code** (IDE)
- Median time from the first commit to the branch until the merge request is - Time to create a merge request
created
- **Test** (CI) - **Test** (CI)
- Median total test time for all commits/merges - Time it takes GitLab CI/CD to test your code
- **Review** (Merge Request/MR) - **Review** (Merge Request/MR)
- Median time from merge request creation until the merge request is merged - Time spent on code review
(closed merge requests won't be taken into account)
- **Staging** (Continuous Deployment) - **Staging** (Continuous Deployment)
- Median time from when the merge request got merged until the deploy to - Time between merging and deploying to production
production (production is last stage/environment)
- **Production** (Total) - **Production** (Total)
- Sum of all the above stages' times excluding the Test (CI) time. To clarify, - Total lifecycle time; i.e. the velocity of the project or team
it's not so much that CI time is "excluded", but rather CI time is already
counted in the review stage since CI is done automatically. Most of the
other stages are purely sequential, but **Test** is not.
