Tracking Throughput
Measure how many tasks your team completes over time and identify trends in delivery velocity.
1
What Is Throughput?
Throughput measures the number of tasks completed within a given time period. It answers the question: "How much work is getting done?"
Higher throughput generally indicates a productive team, but quality matters too — throughput should be considered alongside other metrics.

Navigate to Throughput
From the metrics dashboard, click Throughput to see the detailed view. You can also navigate directly from the board by going to Metrics → Throughput.

Reading the Chart
The throughput chart shows completed tasks over your selected time range. Look for:
- Upward trends: Team is delivering more over time
- Flat lines: Consistent delivery rate
- Dips: Potential blockers, holidays, or capacity changes
4
Using Throughput Effectively
Throughput is most useful when tracked over time:
- Set a baseline by observing throughput over 30 days
- Watch for sustained drops that may indicate process problems
- Compare throughput before and after process changes
- Use agent-level throughput to balance workload across your team
