Task completion analytics

By Rene on Feb 5

Have you ever wondered how long it takes to complete a task ? Do you need to see the tasks that are stuck or take very long to complete ? We are introducing a new task analytics feature that allows you to do just that.

The new analytics shows you how long a task has been on the board or how long it took to finish the task. You can also think of it as how long it took a task to move from left of the board to the right. It can be used to analyze the time required to complete tasks and to make improvements in the project. The clock start when a task is added to the board and stops when you reach the end.

We don't show the analytics link by default, you have to enable it from the project settings.

  • Open the project.
  • Click on the gear on the left of the screen.
  • Click on "Project settings".
  • Tick the "Enable task completion analytics" checkbox.
Enable task analytics

You'll see a new link under the task input box, "Analytics"

Task analytics window

After moving tasks from one list to another you'll see a nice chart. The vertical axis shows you how long a task has been on the project board and the horizontal axis shows the last time the task was moved.

Task cycle report

Move your mouse over the point the chart and you'll see detailed information about the task - the total time and time it has been in every task list.

If you move the task to the last list but then move it around, the time gets also recorded. In other words, the clock stops when you don't move the task anymore.

We don’t have historical data because it's a new feature, but from now on the analytics is gathered.
