Lead- and cycle-time table metrics

Lead and cycle time table metrics provide refined granularity for issues.

The lead- and cycle-time properties provide useful metrics about value stream performance. The lead-time property reflects the elapsed-time from project start through final disposition. The cycle-time property reflects the time that individual project elements take to complete.
