Lead Time

Time

Lead Time gauges the duration taken from the initiation of a project task to its completion, in hours or days. It's vital for predicting project timelines and managing stakeholder expectations.

Formula

Lead Time = Date of task completion - Date of task initiation

Example

If a task was started on January 1st and finished on January 10th, the lead time is 10 days.
