Episode 6 — Glossary Deep Dive III: Metrics, Flow, and Quality Vocabulary
The final glossary deep dive in this series introduces terminology related to metrics, flow, and quality. Terms such as lead time, cycle time, work-in-progress, throughput, and definition of done are explained in detail. The importance of understanding statistical measures like percentiles and variability is also highlighted, since PMI often tests comprehension of performance-based decision making. This vocabulary builds the bridge between agile planning and agile measurement.
Practical scenarios demonstrate how these terms appear in daily practice, such as interpreting cycle time scatterplots or deciding when a definition of done must evolve. The episode stresses that vocabulary around metrics is not just about measurement but about continuous improvement. Candidates who internalize this language are more likely to succeed on exam questions that test whether teams are truly optimizing value delivery. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
