Why is there a difference between my team's median and average response times?

Big difference in Median and Average response time - how can I get more data on what causes this?

 

I have been looking at the difference between my teams median response time and the average response time. There is a big difference. How can I get more data to analyse what is causing this? I don't think the conversation export has first response time data?

The difference in the two averages is just the mathematics behind the two averages.

 

I’m not 100% sure, but I don’t think you can export this data with conversation export.

 

I’d try leveraging Custom Reports to see if you can get the analysis you’re looking for with that.

Thanks @user1030​ @roy s11​, my teams median first response time for April is 8m 56s where as the average is 1h 51m. I assume there are a small(ish) number of conversations driving up my average response time, but I am struggling to easily identify them. Do you have a recommendation for locating them? For context we had 6721 conversations so don't want to go through them all!
