- The lead time is the time between the task creation and the date of completion (task closed).
- The cycle time is the time between the start date and the date of completion.
- If the task is not closed the current time is used instead of the date of completion.
- If the start date is not specified, the cycle time is not calculated.

Note: You can configure an automatic action to define automatically the start date when you move a task to the column of your choice.
