Status impact on metrics in Kanban

Question

Hello,

My Team is starting with Kanban. I am interested to understand how will status On Hold that is setup in our company with blue color impact on Kanban metrics. When PBI is in this status, it means it is blocked for further Development until blockers are resolved. Thanks!

We once used a plugin for this https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211756/time-in-status?tab=overview&hosting=cloud it gave us data for WIP including and excluding the time spend on hold/in blocked status for reporting.

We had to do it with excel but it gave us great insight into our blocking times and it helped us manage the workflow better :)

It's free so you can just try it out and see if it helps :)

Thank you @Bill Sheboy  for your answer. As I understand we just need to keep in mind to exclude this status from calculations.

Regards,

Jovanka

Thank you @Marta Woźniak-Semeniuk , but my question is related to the impact of reporting.
