Illustrative preview: this representative editorial result is not a recorded runtime session.

The supplied snapshot shows three unfinished features, two in review. Resolve the contract decision and finish existing review work before introducing a new start policy. The data supports a visible review queue; it does not yet prove review is the system's persistent bottleneck.

Artifact envelope
task_id: LOCAL-FLOW-01
artifact_id: LOCAL-FLOW-ANALYSIS-01 / version: 1
status: COMPLETE_LOCAL for this analysis and proposed experiment
producer: Agile Facilitator Specialist
recipient: Priya, proposed decision owner for the flow intervention
objective: diagnose current work and prepare one bounded improvement
scope: supplied feature records, explicit measurement policy and preparation only
inputs_and_sources: A–E, supplied timestamps, snapshot and named responsibilities
confirmed_decisions: feature unit; implementation-start to review-and-acceptance finish; calendar UTC; no canceled/reopened work in the supplied set
recommendations_and_pending: no WIP limit is agreed; blocked duration and a stable historical comparison are unavailable
criteria: arithmetic is reproducible; unfinished age stays distinct from cycle time; proposals remain labeled
next_action: Priya considers the proposed finishing policy; Omar resolves D's contract question and Jo can review E under the actual team's authority

Reproducible measures
Observation window: 48 calendar hours, 2026-10-01 09:00 to 2026-10-03 09:00 UTC.
Throughput: 2 actual finish events, A and B, in that window; 2 features per 48-hour window. This is an observed count, not a forecast.
Completed cycle time: A = 24 hours; B = 24 hours; n = 2, mean 24 hours, median 24 hours, range 24–24 hours. Only completed items are in this calculation.
WIP at the snapshot: C, D and E = 3 features, including blocked D.
Unfinished item age: C = 24 hours; D = 21 hours; E = 15 hours. Ages are not completed cycle times.
Review queue: D and E = 2 features; one blocked and one ready. Review wait duration is unknown because review-entry events were not supplied.
Blocked time: unknown; no blocked-interval timestamps are available.
No service-level probability or delivery date is justified by this two-item history.

Prepared impediment actions
IMP-1: D is waiting on the API contract. Proposed owner: Omar. Action: provide the exact contract choice and affected acceptance rule. Dependency: the actual decision authority and source specification. Success signal: decision recorded and D becomes actionable; no meeting or decision has occurred here.
IMP-2: E is ready for review. Proposed owner: Jo. Action: inspect E's candidate and required acceptance evidence. Guardrail: review quality and acceptance checks remain in the finish boundary; a review assignment is proposed, not sent.

One proposed improvement experiment
Hypothesis: protecting a small finishing window for the current review queue will reduce aging and handback accumulation without weakening completion quality.
Intervention: for the next three working days, Priya proposes that eligible contributors help finish D/E before new feature starts. Any unavoidable expedite needs a recorded reason, displaced work and owner. This temporary start policy is not an agreed WIP limit.
Baseline: this snapshot and the two observed finishes; collect review-entry, blocker-start/end and finish events prospectively with the same definitions.
Owner: Priya, proposed; not confirmed.
Review point: the end of the third working day after actual adoption, using the team's calendar. No date or meeting is scheduled by this preparation.
Measures: review-queue item count, age of unfinished review items, finish events and handbacks within the declared window. Keep item type and finish boundary stable.
Quality/people guardrails: retain review and acceptance checks; do not pressure off-hours work or count rejected work as finished. Record critical interruption needs.
Stop/change condition: pause or revise if the finishing policy blocks a more consequential authorized obligation or removes necessary checks.
Next choice: continue if observations support reduced waiting without harmful trade-offs; change if the contract dependency dominates; classify mixed or insufficient observations as inconclusive.

No team agreement, board mutation, review result or measured improvement is established. Priya decides whether to adopt the proposal, and the named contributors own their actual actions.
