Custom flows are here!
This month, we released a much-awaited feature: enabling our users to define custom flows in Faros.
A Faros flow can be used to describe any organizational process, such as your task management process or your deployment process.
Faros automatically computes various metrics around these flows, such as the end-to-end cycle time for the flow and the time spent in the different custom stages. Use flows to easily identify bottlenecks in your processes.
For more information, visit Custom Flows in the Faros Documentation.
