Which metric BEST measures the efficiency of an Agile service process end-to-end?

Accepted Answer

Flow efficiency (value-added time divided by total elapsed time)

Define clear RACI or similar roles for each process step collaboratively with the team

Answer

Collaboratively defining roles (such as via a RACI matrix) ensures team members understand their responsibilities and removes ambiguity without creating bottlenecks.
