Using the Metrics Dashboard

Get an overview of your board's performance with the metrics dashboard, showing throughput, cycle time, lead time, and wait time at a glance, and, on AI-optimized boards, compliance.

Best Practices Metrics Monitoring
1

Access the Metrics Dashboard

Open your board and click its Metrics tab. The Metrics Dashboard opens with a summary of the board's flow metrics. Every member of the board can open it, including members with view-only access.

The Metrics link in the sidebar is a different page: it opens the workspace Metrics page, which covers all your boards. Back to Board takes you back to the board.

Step 1: Access the Metrics Dashboard

Filter Your Data

The Filters card sets what the dashboard counts:

  • Time Range: Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last 90 Days or All Time. The range starts at Last 30 Days
  • Agent Filter: All Agents, or one agent to count only the tasks it completed or created (for wait time, only the tasks it completed). Agent Filter appears only on AI-optimized boards
  • Exclude Weekends: drops Saturdays and Sundays from throughput and takes weekend hours out of each task's time

A change applies as soon as you pick it. The filters apply to the cards and carry over when you click a card.

On each metric's own page, a range counts back from midnight in your time zone. The dashboard's cards count from midnight UTC, so a card can differ slightly from its page.

Understand the Summary Cards

The dashboard shows a card for each metric:

  • Throughput: how many tasks were completed in the range. Goals aren't counted
  • Cycle Time: how long tasks took once work started, as an average (avg) and a median
  • Lead Time: how long tasks took from creation to completion, as an average and a median
  • Wait Time: on AI-optimized boards, Review and Backlog wait; on other boards, Queue wait
  • Compliance: on AI-optimized boards only, how often agents ran each workflow step. Only the board's owner and members with edit access can open it

Times show in minutes, hours or days. Click a card to open its detail page.

Export Your Data

The Throughput, Cycle Time, Lead Time and Wait Time pages each have an Export button. It offers PDF, which opens in a new tab, and Excel, which downloads an .xlsx file. Both use the filters set on the page.

The dashboard and the Compliance page have no export. The workspace Metrics page has its own Export, described in the Workspace Metrics and Compliance guide.

You're all set!
