Nobody on the state DMV licensing ART can say what share of flow is features versus enablers, defects, or debt. Which metric makes that mix visible?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the DMV ART cannot tell whether it is shipping license features, plumbing, bugs, or debt, it is driving without a dashboard for mix. Flow distribution is that mix view. Clock time, tester utilization, and who showed up to PI Planning do not answer the share question.
Full Explanation
Flow distribution shows the mix of work types—such as features, enablers, defects, and debt—moving through the system. Without it, a DMV licensing ART can look busy while starving architectural runway or drowning in defects. The RTE uses flow distribution so PI conversations can rebalance the mix. Flow time, tester utilization, and attendance are not substitutes for work-type mix.
