Board Reports: Analytics And Insights For Your Projects

Board Reports give you a comprehensive view of your team's progress, workload distribution, and project health. Whether you need to track sprint velocity, identify bottlenecks, or prepare status updates for stakeholders, Reports provides the data you need to make informed decisions.

#Accessing Reports

To access Reports, click the Reports icon (bar chart) in the board navigation bar. Reports are available to all team members with full board access.

Note: Reports are not available for public boards or users with restricted project access.

#Report Filters And Settings

At the top of the Reports view, you'll find filter controls that let you customize the data displayed across all metrics and charts.

#Date Range

Select the time period for your report data:

#Date Type

Choose how tasks are included in the report:

• Created - Include tasks that were created within the selected period
• Completed - Include tasks that were completed within the selected period
• Active - Include tasks that had any activity within the selected period

#Project Filter

Filter all metrics to specific projects on your board. You can select multiple projects to include, or leave all projects selected to see board-wide analytics.

#Data Grouping

Reports automatically adjust the data granularity based on your selected date range:

• 14 days or less: Data grouped by day
• 15-60 days: Data grouped by week
• More than 60 days: Data grouped by month

#Summary Metrics

Five key metrics appear at the top of your report, providing a quick snapshot of project status.

#Total Tasks

The total count of tasks matching your current filters. This number reflects all tasks within the selected date range and projects, regardless of their status.

#Completed

The number of tasks marked as completed within the selected period. Use this alongside Total Tasks to gauge throughput.

#Completion Rate

The percentage of tasks completed out of the total:

Completion % = (Completed Tasks / Total Tasks) × 100

A higher completion rate indicates strong execution. Compare this across different time periods to track improvement.

#Lead Time

The average number of days from when a task is created to when it's completed. Lead Time measures the total elapsed time a task exists in your system, including any time spent waiting.

Why it matters: Lead Time reflects the customer's perspective - how long they wait from request to delivery. Lower Lead Time means faster turnaround for stakeholders.

#Cycle Time

The average number of days from when work begins on a task (moves to an in-progress status) to when it's completed. Cycle Time measures only the active working time.

Why it matters: Cycle Time reflects your team's actual working efficiency. If Cycle Time is low but Lead Time is high, tasks may be spending too much time in the backlog before work begins.

#Charts And Visualizations

#Burndown / Burnup Chart

This time-series chart helps you track progress toward completing your work scope. Toggle between two views:

Burndown View

• Shows the remaining tasks over time
• A downward trend indicates progress toward zero remaining work
• Ideal for sprint tracking where scope is fixed

Burnup View

• Shows two lines: Completed tasks (solid) and Total Scope (dashed)
• Makes scope changes visible - if the dashed line rises, scope increased
• Useful when requirements evolve during the period

Hover over any data point to see the exact count for that date.

#Status Distribution

A donut chart showing how tasks are distributed across your workflow statuses. The total task count appears in the center.

Each segment represents a status (e.g., Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review, QA, Completed), color-coded to match your board's status colors. The legend shows the count and percentage for each status.

What to look for:

• Large percentages in early statuses may indicate a growing backlog
• Tasks piling up in middle statuses (like In Review) may signal bottlenecks
• A healthy distribution shows tasks flowing smoothly through all stages

#Priority Distribution

A horizontal bar chart showing how tasks are distributed across priority levels:

• High - Urgent tasks requiring immediate attention
• Medium - Important tasks with standard priority
• Low - Tasks that can wait
• None - Tasks without an assigned priority

Each bar shows the task count and percentage. The legend at the bottom provides a quick summary.

What to look for: If high-priority tasks aren't being completed proportionally, your team may be spending too much time on lower-priority work.

#Workload By Assignee

A horizontal stacked bar chart showing how work is distributed across team members. Each bar is divided into three segments:

• Done (green) - Completed tasks
• In Progress (blue) - Tasks currently being worked on
• To Do (gray) - Assigned but not yet started

Each row shows the team member's name and avatar, with their completion ratio (e.g., "8/12" means 8 completed out of 12 assigned).

What to look for:

• Uneven distribution may indicate workload imbalance
• Team members with many "To Do" tasks may be overloaded
• Low completion ratios might signal blockers or capacity issues

#Activity Overview

Track all changes happening on your board with two view modes:

Timeline View

A stacked bar chart showing daily activity broken down by type:

• Tasks Created - New tasks added
• Task Changes - Updates to existing tasks
• Tasks Archived - Tasks moved to archive
• Tasks Deleted - Tasks removed from the board

The summary below shows total changes, tasks modified, and active users for the period.

By User View

A horizontal bar chart showing the top 10 most active users, sorted by total changes. Useful for understanding who's driving activity on the board.

What to look for:

• Spikes in activity may correlate with sprint starts or deadlines
• High delete/archive rates near deadlines might indicate scope cuts
• Consistent activity across the period suggests steady progress

#Dependency Health

For boards using task dependencies, this section provides insights into dependency complexity and potential risks.

Summary Metrics

Blocking Tasks

Lists tasks that are blocking other tasks from starting. Each task shows:

• Project identifier and task title
• "Blocks N" badge indicating how many tasks it's blocking
• "Overdue" badge if the task is past its due date

At-Risk Tasks

Lists tasks that are currently blocked by dependencies. These tasks cannot progress until their blockers are resolved.

Click any task to navigate directly to it in the board.

What to look for:

• Long dependency chains (high Max Chain) create fragile workflows
• Overdue blocking tasks can cascade delays to multiple dependent tasks
• Many at-risk tasks may indicate dependency planning issues

#Export Options

Export your report data for sharing with stakeholders or archiving:

• CSV - Spreadsheet format containing all report data, suitable for further analysis in Excel or Google Sheets
• PDF - Formatted document ready for sharing or printing

Click the Export button in the report header and select your preferred format. The export includes all data based on your current filter settings.

#Data Caching

Report data is cached for approximately 5 minutes to ensure fast loading times. If you've made recent changes to tasks and don't see them reflected in the report, click the Refresh button (or press R) to fetch the latest data.

#Tips For Using Reports Effectively

• Track trends over time - Run the same report weekly or monthly to identify patterns. Is Lead Time improving? Is workload becoming more balanced?
• Use reports in retrospectives - The Activity Overview and Completion Rate metrics provide objective data for sprint retrospectives.
• Identify bottlenecks early - Check Status Distribution regularly. Tasks piling up in a specific status often indicate process or capacity issues.
• Monitor dependency health - For complex projects, keep an eye on blocking tasks and chain length. Long chains and overdue blockers are leading indicators of schedule risk.
• Share with stakeholders - Export PDF reports for status meetings. The visual charts communicate progress more effectively than raw numbers.
• Combine filters strategically - Use the Project filter to compare performance across different projects, or switch Date Type to see different perspectives on the same time period.
