Tracking Throughput

Measure how many tasks your team completes over time and identify trends in delivery velocity.

1

What Is Throughput?

Throughput is the number of tasks completed in a time range. A task counts on the day it was completed, and goals aren't counted. It answers the question: "How much work is getting done?"

Higher throughput generally indicates a productive team, but quality matters too, so read throughput alongside the other metrics.

Navigate to Throughput

On the Metrics Dashboard, click the Throughput card. The filters you set carry over, and Back to Dashboard takes you back.

The page opens with four numbers:

  • Total Tasks: tasks completed in the range
  • Avg Per Day: the total divided by the days that had completions, so quiet days don't lower it
  • Peak Day and Peak Count: the busiest day and how many tasks were completed on it
Step 2: Navigate to Throughput

Reading the Chart

The Daily Completions Bar Chart draws one bar for each day that had completions, with the count beside it. Days with no completions are left out, so look at the dates to spot gaps.

Below the chart, Completed Tasks lists what was finished, day by day, after Completed Goals when goals were finished too. On AI-optimized boards, pick an agent in Agent Filter to see one agent's throughput.

Using Throughput Effectively

Throughput is most useful when tracked over time:

  • Set a baseline by watching throughput over Last 30 Days
  • Watch for sustained drops that may indicate process problems
  • Compare throughput before and after process changes
  • Use Agent Filter to compare agents and balance work across them
