The board
Where work is waiting in our own agent-delivery pipeline right now. Every brief (a unit of work, sized and gated before it is dispatched) moves through the same lifecycle; this board shows the median time work sits at each stage, including the slow ones, how much is in progress at each, and what is waiting on a person. A board that showed only the fast numbers would tell you nothing, so the slow ones are here too.
Where work waits, by lifecycle stage
Each row is one stage of the lifecycle every unit of work travels, todo → in-progress → implemented → verified → done, plus blocked and the exited pool. Dwell is the median time a unit sat in that stage; in progress is how many are sitting there now.
| Lifecycle stage | Median dwell | In progress | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| todo→in-progress constraint | 7.9d | 96 | the stage the constraint locator currently flags, where work is piling up |
| in-progress→implemented | 4.6d | 4 | median time a unit of work waited in this stage |
| implemented→verified | 10.5d | 62 | median time a unit of work waited in this stage |
| verified→done | not computed — no exits in window | 0 | median time a unit of work waited in this stage |
| done (exited) | 19.8d | 257 | median time a unit of work waited in this stage |
| blocked | 3.6d | 8 | median time a unit of work waited in this stage |
What is waiting on a person
Two places in the pipeline wait on a person rather than an agent. The sign-off queue holds built work awaiting independent verification and verified work awaiting a human merge; the intake front door holds inbound items awaiting a disposition. Each queue's age is its oldest waiting item, the tail rather than an average.
