The Dashboard provides a high-level overview of your project’s health and progress. It surfaces key metrics in a visual format inspired by project planning tools, helping you spot issues, track delivery pace, and understand team capacity at a glance.

​
Dashboard Layout

The Dashboard is organized into three sections:
  1. KPI Cards: Four key metrics displayed as prominent cards at the top
  2. Trend Charts: Visual representations of progress over time
  3. Status Breakdown: Current distribution of tasks across workflow stages

​
Time Window Selection

Control the data range shown in the dashboard using the toggle in the top-right corner:
Shows metrics and trends for the last week, ideal for:
  • Sprint reviews
  • Short-term velocity tracking
  • Immediate team capacity
All metrics and charts on the dashboard update automatically when you change the time window.

​
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Four metric cards provide instant insight into project health:

Overdue Tasks

Number of tasks that are past their due date and not yet completed. High numbers indicate scheduling issues or blocked work.Ideal state: Zero or very few overdue tasks

Due This Week

Tasks scheduled to be completed within the next 7 days. Helps you plan immediate work capacity.Use for: Sprint planning and immediate priorities

In Progress

Tasks currently in the “In Progress” workflow stage. Indicates active work and team focus.Monitor for: Work-in-progress limits and flow

Done

Total completed tasks in the “Done” workflow stage. Represents delivered value.Track for: Velocity and throughput metrics
Each card includes:
  • A descriptive icon color-coded for quick scanning
  • The metric value prominently displayed
  • A hint explaining what the metric represents

​
Completion Trend

The completion trend chart visualizes how many tasks were completed each day within the selected time window.

​
Chart Features

  • Horizontal bars: Each day shows a bar representing completed task count
  • Date labels: Displayed as MM-DD format on the left
  • Count values: Numeric count shown on the right of each bar
  • Dynamic scaling: Bars scale relative to the highest daily count in the period
  • Minimum bar width: Even days with just one completion show a visible bar
Consistent daily completion (steady bar heights) indicates healthy flow. Large spikes often indicate batch delivery at deadlines.

​
Interpreting the Trend

Bars of similar height across days indicate consistent delivery pace and good flow.
Large variations suggest batch delivery patterns, possibly indicating:
  • Work building up and releasing in batches
  • Sprint-end rushes
  • Blocked work that suddenly clears
Days with no completions (zero bar) might indicate:
  • Weekends or holidays
  • Focus on starting new work vs. finishing existing work
  • All team members on non-tracked activities

​
Workload by Assignee

This widget shows the distribution of active tasks across team members:
  • Name: Team member’s display name
  • Active count: Number of tasks currently assigned to them (not in “Done”)
  • Sorted: Typically ordered by active count descending

Workload Balance

Use this widget to:
  • Identify team members who are overloaded
  • Spot uneven work distribution
  • Plan task reassignments
  • See who has capacity for new work

​
Empty State

If no team members have active tasks, you’ll see: “No active assignee load.” This might occur when:
  • All tasks are unassigned
  • All tasks are already completed
  • You’re starting a new project

​
Tasks by Status

The bottom section breaks down all tasks by their workflow stage:
  • To Do: Tasks ready to start but not yet begun
  • In Progress: Tasks currently being worked on
  • Done: Completed tasks
  • Backlog: Tasks planned but not yet scheduled
Each status shows:
  • Uppercase label for quick scanning
  • Large, prominent count
  • Bordered card for visual separation
If you have custom workflow columns, they may also appear in this breakdown depending on their configured “kind” mapping.

​
Refresh Behavior

The Dashboard automatically refetches data when:
  • You switch between projects
  • You change the time window (7 days ↔ 14 days)
  • You return to the Dashboard after updating tasks in other views
If metrics seem outdated after making changes elsewhere, simply navigate away and back to the Dashboard to trigger a refresh.

​
Viewer Mode

All users can view the Dashboard regardless of role. Viewers see the same metrics as editors and owners, making it ideal for:
  • Sharing progress with stakeholders
  • Team standups and reviews
  • Executive reporting
  • Client visibility

​
Using the Dashboard Effectively

1

Daily standup check

Start your day by reviewing overdue tasks and workload balance. Address any red flags before they grow.
2

Weekly review

Use the 7-day window to review completion trends and ensure steady delivery pace.
3

Sprint planning

Check “Due this week” and team workload before committing to new work.
4

Retrospectives

Use the 14-day window to spot patterns in delivery flow and identify process improvements.

​
Best Practices

Set Realistic Dates

Accurate due dates make the “Overdue” and “Due this week” metrics meaningful and actionable.

Update Status Regularly

Move tasks through workflow stages promptly so the Dashboard reflects current reality.

Balance Workload

Use the workload widget to redistribute tasks when imbalances emerge.

Watch the Trend

Aim for consistent completion rates rather than end-of-sprint rushes.

​
Empty State

If your project has no tasks yet, the Dashboard will still render with zero values for all metrics and empty charts. This is normal for new projects. Head to the Backlog or Board view to start adding tasks, then return to the Dashboard to see metrics appear.
