Improve your Flow of Value
summary
Concrete claims, tools, numbers, and outcomes matter: uses Jira automations to detect commits and state changes, sends Slack notifications, and moves or comments on issues (blocked items get pushed back to open and dependents get alerts). Adds modal questions for UI changes, runs a scheduled backlog closer cron job, and builds “gonders” and “shoulder tappers” to advance work. Result: cycle time drops from ~20 days to ~12 days — about a 40% cycle time reduction.
