 - MTTD (Mean Time to Detect): The average duration that a bug goes undetected in production. GitLab measures MTTD from deployment of bug to issue creation.
 - MTTM (Mean Time To Merge): The average lifespan of a merge request. GitLab measures MTTM from merge request creation to merge request merge (and closed/un-merged merge requests are excluded). For more information, see [Merge Request Analytics](merge_request_analytics.md).
 - MTTR (Mean Time to Recover/Repair/Resolution/Resolve/Restore): The average duration that a bug is not fixed in production. GitLab measures MTTR from deployment of bug to deployment of fix.
-- Lead time: The duration of the work itself. Often displayed in combination with "cycle time." GitLab measures from issue first merge request creation to issue close. Note: Obviously work started before the creation of the first merge request. We plan to start measuring from "issue first commit" as a better proxy, although still imperfect. GitLab displays lead time in [Value Stream Analytics](value_stream_analytics.md).

 - Throughput: The number of issues closed or merge requests merged (not closed) in some period of time. Often measured per sprint. GitLab displays merge request throughput in [Merge Request Analytics](merge_request_analytics.md).
 - Value Stream: The entire work process that is followed to deliver value to customers. For example, the [DevOps lifecycle](https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/) is a value stream that starts with "plan" and ends with "monitor". GitLab helps you track your value stream using [Value Stream Analytics](value_stream_analytics.md).
 - Velocity: The total issue burden completed in some period of time. The burden is usually measured in points or weight, often per sprint. For example, your velocity may be "30 points per sprint". GitLab measures velocity as the total points/weight of issues closed in a given period of time.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
+### ASDF_PYTHON_VERSION does not automatically install the version
+
+Defining a non-latest Python version in ASDF_PYTHON_VERSION [doesn't have it automatically installed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/325604). If your project requires a non-latest version of Python:
+
+1. Define the required version by setting the `ASDF_PYTHON_VERSION` CI/CD variable.
+1. Pass a custom script to the `SETUP_CMD` CI/CD variable to install the required version and dependencies.
+
+For example: 
+
+```yaml
+include:
+  - template: Security/License-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+license_scanning:
+    SETUP_CMD: ./setup.sh
+    ASDF_PYTHON_VERSION: "3.7.2"
+  before_script:
+    - echo "asdf install python 3.7.2 && pip install -r requirements.txt" > setup.sh
+    - chmod +x setup.sh
+    - apt-get -y update
+    - apt-get -y install build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl git
