Correct answer: Cycle time.
Why this is the answer
Cycle time measures the duration from when work begins on an item (e.g., moving to "In Progress") until it is completed (e.g., moving to "Done" or "Closed"). This widget helps teams identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency by visualizing the actual time spent working on items. Velocity measures the amount of work a team completes in an iteration, not the duration of individual items. Cumulative flow diagrams show the quantity of work in different states over time, not the duration of individual items. Lead time measures the total time from when a work item is created until it is closed, including any time spent waiting before work begins.
