   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   1. Lead time 2. Cycle time https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/dashboards/cycle-time-and-lead-time?view=azure-devops Both lead time and cycle time widgets are useful to teams. They both indicate how long it takes for work to flow through their development pipeline. Lead time measures the total time elapsed from the creation of work items to their completion. Cycle time measures the time it takes for your team to complete work items once they begin actively working on them.

   Answer: See figure below

   Explanation

   I agree, Cycle Time & Defect Escape Rate. - Cycle TIme because it asks for how long it takes to complete (With Lead Time you have to calculate the time before "completion" starts as well). - Defect Escape Rate because it is the number of defects identified by your end users. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/considerations/devops-principles-and-practices
