Bottlenecks in GitHub Workflows
Why bottlenecks matter
Every team has them: issues that sit too long in one column, reviews that drag on, or tasks that seem to vanish in the backlog. Bottlenecks slow down delivery, frustrate developers, and make planning unreliable. Spotting them early is the first step to improving flow.
The challenge with GitHub
GitHub is great for collaboration, but it doesn’t tell you where work gets stuck.
- How long has this issue been in the column?
- Which issues have been inactive for a while?
- How long have been working on this topic?
Scrum Masters and team leads often end up exporting to Excel or relying on gut feeling.
How Flow2C helps
Flow2C makes bottlenecks visible at a glance:
- Time in column: See how long issues spend in each workflow stage
- Last activity: Spot tickets that haven’t moved or been commented on
- Outliers: Identify unusually long-running issues
- Trends: Track whether process changes reduce waiting times
You’ll know exactly where to focus your next improvement.
From data to action
The numbers give your team the clarity to ask the right questions:
- Why do reviews take twice as long as coding?
- Are external dependencies blocking us?
- Do we need to simplify our workflow columns?
Flow2C turns raw timestamps into conversation starters for retrospectives and stand-ups.
