Measuring the flow and health of a DevOps pipeline is a critical success factor. A product/program view of the pipeline should provide visibility into what is flowing through each stage including commits, builds, deployments, and flow details. It also needs to measure the quality and trends over time to identify issues or changes in the pipeline.
