How can I measure Kanban metrics in next-gen projects?

[Darren Lyons]

I'd like to be able to see metrics like duration in each column, lead time, cycle time etc. when using a kanban board in a next-gen projects? When I enable reports in the features and go to the report sections I only see burnup and velocity reports which both require sprints. Would love to use the next-gen project for the simplicity and independence but need to have metrics to know if we're continuously improving.

Hi JD,

I'm sorry to say that it isn't currently possible to import a single project into an OnDemand instance without deleting the data that is already stored in the instance. Depending on the data that you want to transfer so I suspect that you would need to do something long winded like using the API to extract the data and update it. Howeverm we do have an open feature request to ask that project imports are allowed in a future release of OnDemand so I would suggest that you leave your thoughts for our developers there so they recognise the importance of such use cases: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AOD-2658

All the best,
John

Thanks for the answer John - was afraid this was going to be the case! I'll do as you suggest and comment on that open feature request. Thanks.
