You can then identify potential opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also included a quick link to the <a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/cycle-time-scatterplot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cycle Time Scatterplot<\/a> to track how your cycle time evolves over time.<\/p>\n<h2>When to Act on Cycle Time Deviations<\/h2>\n<p>So, when is the right time to make changes in your process? The best time to take action is when a signal is detected\u2014meaning a significant deviation from your typical cycle time has occurred.<\/p>\n<p>When a signal occurs, such as a cycle time that exceeds your natural process limits, the dashboard marks the status as High. This is a clear indication that immediate action is needed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-that-exceeds-your-natural-process-limits-by-nave-image-e.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6660\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-that-exceeds-your-natural-process-limits-by-nave-image-e.png\" alt=\"Cycle Time That Exceeds Your Natural Process Limits By Nave | Image\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-that-exceeds-your-natural-process-limits-by-nave-image-e.png 1920w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-that-exceeds-your-natural-process-limits-by-nave-image-e-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-that-exceeds-your-natural-process-limits-by-nave-image-e-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-that-exceeds-your-natural-process-limits-by-nave-image-e-700x400.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make this easier, the dashboard highlights the specific work items that triggered the signal in the action items section. Addressing the root cause of the deviation is critical here, and your process is no longer stable and your ability to make reliable delivery predictions has been compromised.<\/p>\n<p>Now, signals aren\u2019t always about delays\u2014sometimes, they reveal unexpected reduction in your delivery times.<\/p>\n<p>If the cycle time of recently completed items falls below the natural process limits, it suggests that things are moving faster than usual. This could indicate that recent process improvements have been effective or that the tasks being completed are less complex than usual. Either way, it\u2019s worth a closer look as this signal still represents an unusual behavior and makes your process unpredictable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-triggered-the-signal-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6656\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-triggered-the-signal-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1.png\" alt=\"What Triggered The Signal In Process Improvement Dashboard By Nave | Image\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-triggered-the-signal-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1.png 1920w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-triggered-the-signal-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-triggered-the-signal-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/what-triggered-the-signal-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1-700x400.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the Process Improvement Dashboard, you\u2019ll find a list of all the items that triggered the signal so you can analyze why cycle times have improved and identify best practices that could be applied across the board.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cf-14869-area-150047\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<h2>What to Do When a Process Step Cycle Time Triggers a Signal<\/h2>\n<p>Understanding cycle time at a high level is great, but sometimes, you need to dig deeper.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-per-status-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6659\" src=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-per-status-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1.png\" alt=\"Cycle Time Per Status In Process Improvement Dashboard By Nave | Image\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-per-status-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1.png 1920w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-per-status-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-per-status-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1-1536x878.png 1536w, https:\/\/getnave.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/cycle-time-per-status-in-process-improvement-dashboard-by-nave-image-1-700x400.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Process Improvement Dashboard lets you break down cycle time by individual process steps.
