The stories you need to tell about your organization's progress can be complex and are specific to the way you do work. Whether you're testing a new pilot program, evaluating the differences between teams, tracking a metric over time, or something unique to your team, you need a way to analyze how the changes you're investing in for your organization are actually driving impact.
Use Pluralsight Flow's Scenario builder to craft a custom story to illustrate change in your organization. The choice of what story to tell is up to you.

Choosing a scenario
Before you start, figure out what scenario you want to explore. Get started with the suggestions in the Scenario recommendations section or create one specific to your needs.
In general, there are three main types of scenarios that Scenario builder can help you explore:
- Compare multiple teams: See how a change impacts the same metric for different teams.
- Compare several timeframes: See how a team changes over different time periods.
- Compare several metrics: See how a change impacts multiple metrics for a team at once.
Tip: When thinking of a scenario, it's best to only change one filter in each scenario tile and keep the others the same between tiles. This helps ensure you scenarios without other variables interfering in your analysis.
Configuring Scenario builder
Scenario builder starts with two tiles for you to configure. Start by selecting the team, date range, and metric for each tile. As needed, click Add metric tile to add another tile to configure. You can have up to six tiles configured at a time. Delete a tile by clicking the X in the upper right corner of the tile. The first two tiles in Scenario builder can't be deleted.
The metrics available to compare in Scenario builder are:
Tip: If these metrics look familiar, that's because they're the core commit and PR metrics available in Team health insights. Use Team health insights to dig deeper into each metric, while using Scenario builder to show how they can all work together.
At any point, click Reset to default to return to the two-tile view so you can easily start over.
Each tile contains the value of the metric during the time period, as well as the associated trend, where applicable.
Note: Trend data is only available for date ranges that contain four or more Monday to Sunday weeks. Shorter date ranges are not associated with trends.
In addition to the metric values, use the associated graph to see how the values have changed over time compared to the overall value, the trend, and the Percentile benchmarks associated with the metric.
This way, you have both visual and numeric ways to understand change over time.
Once all your tiles are configured, use the numerical and visual indicators to see the impact of your change over time, teams, and metrics.
