8. The Total number of flow items currently in a “Active” or “Waiting” state. Flow Load

9. The ratio of flow items completed over a particular time period. Flow Distribution

10. Number of flow items completed (i.e. flow state=done) in a given time period. Flow Velocity

11. The total time from work start to work complete, including both active and wait states. Flow Time

12. Measures the actual time you have spent on a flow item as a percentage of the total flow time. Flow Efficiency
