The Cycle Time Scatterplot can operate in two axis modes: Cycle Time mode (active start → completion) and Lead Time mode (creation → completion). Switching modes changes what the Y-axis measures and how the dots are plotted. In 3.6.0 these modes also affect the tooltip — and a bug meant the tooltip was not staying accurate when you switched.
What Was Happening
When the chart was in Lead Time mode, the tooltip's "Cycle Time" field was showing the remapped lead-time value rather than the true cycle duration. For items with a long time-in-queue (creation to active start), this made the cycle time look significantly longer than it actually was — and made it impossible to compare the two values meaningfully from the tooltip alone.
What the Tooltip Now Shows
Regardless of which axis mode the chart is in, the tooltip always shows both values independently and correctly.
- Cycle Time: the duration from when the item entered active work to when it was completed.
- Lead Time: the duration from when the item was created to when it was completed.
- Both values appear together in every tooltip, in every mode.
Why Both Values Together Matter
Seeing cycle time and lead time side-by-side in a single tooltip is the fastest way to understand an item's flow efficiency. A large gap between the two tells you the item spent a long time waiting before anyone picked it up. A small gap means it moved through the system efficiently once it was started. That comparison was always the intent of having both metrics — the tooltip now makes it trivially easy.
