Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Track the story points completed each sprint
Velocity shows your team's rhythm and hint
Plot the average on a chart so clean
Shows your pace and keeps momentum keen
When the numbers dance up and down each week
Find the pattern that makes planning sleek

[Chorus]
Metrics tell the agile tale
Burn it down and never fail
Cycle time and throughput flow
Lead time tells us what we know
Charts and graphs that light the way
Measuring success each day

[Verse 2]
Sprint burndown starts up high
Watch the work line falling by
Tasks complete as days go past
Will you finish? Going fast?
Release burndown shows the scope
Months of progress, months of hope

[Chorus]
Metrics tell the agile tale
Burn it down and never fail
Cycle time and throughput flow
Lead time tells us what we know
Charts and graphs that light the way
Measuring success each day

[Verse 3]
Burnup charts climb to the sky
Showing work that's finished by
Scope changes make the top line dance
Progress climbs with every chance
Cumulative flow reveals the queue
Where the bottlenecks break through

[Bridge]
Cycle time from start to done
Lead time waits for work begun
Throughput counts what flows complete
Escaped defects we must defeat
From the backlog to deploy
Metrics help us find our joy

[Chorus]
Metrics tell the agile tale
Burn it down and never fail
Cycle time and throughput flow
Lead time tells us what we know
Charts and graphs that light the way
Measuring success each day

[Outro]
Seven metrics guide your team
Velocity and burndown scheme
Flow and timing, defects too
Agile reporting sees you through
