      PPDF is a great book but hard to apply. I recommend looking at some Kanban literature. Classic in this space is Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability.

      Besides what others have commented, I'd like to point some more metrics that help you model your board:

      - Task classes.

      - Lead time.

      - Cycle time.

      - Number of backward movements for any list.

      - Cumulative card evolution.

      There are some good books about this subject:

      - David J. Anderson's Kanban (https://www.amazon.com/Kanban-Successful-Evolutionary-Techno...)

      - Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability: An Introduction (https://www.amazon.com/Actionable-Agile-Metrics-Predictabili...)

      Shameless plug: checkout my personal project DjangoTrelloStats that measures these metrics for you: https://github.com/diegojromerolopez/django-trello-stats (include a somewhat Trello synchronization tool).
