Turn Azure DevOps data into clear, actionable insights - with zero setup.

Time in State for Azure helps teams answer the questions that matter most:

  • Where does work slow down?

  • Why do items bounce between states?

  • Who is overloaded or blocked?

By visualizing how long work items spend in each state, the app uncovers the real story behind delivery speed, bottlenecks, team performance, and workflow health. It transforms Azure DevOps into a transparent, data-driven environment - without adding complexity.


Why Recommend Time in State?

If your clients struggle with slow handoffs, unpredictable delivery, or lack of visibility into process flow, Time in State is the easiest and most effective solution:

Spot delays early — instantly see where work gets stuck
Improve flow efficiency — reduce unnecessary back-and-forth between states or roles
Balance workloads — analyze time per assignee to prevent overload
Report with clarity — export clean, easy-to-read charts and insights for reviews and stakeholders
Drive adoption — make retros, standups, and planning sessions fully data-driven
