Choose how far back you want to go to capture key moments - all the data displayed on the chart will be taken according to this selection.
Last: analyze recent trends by selecting periods like days, weeks, or months.
Sprints are also an option for Scrum boards and unavailable for other Data Source units.
If even one Kanban board is selected, this option disappears.
Since: start the data display from a specific date, which is ideal for long-term analysis.
Fixed: specify start and end dates to focus on a defined time period.
The selected interval is a common setting and affects all charts of the Cycle Time: Cycle Time, Time in Status, and Trend.
Aggregate data into logical groups to simplify complex information, depending on your project management style. This option helps to simplify complex data by categorizing it into logical intervals.
Grouping can be configured as daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or by sprint, depending on the Data Source units.
Exception: the Cycle Time Chart doesn’t offer Grouping options because it focuses on tracking individual cycle times. Grouping would obscure the detailed view needed to analyze specific patterns or outliers.
Display your data in the units that make the most sense — hours, days, weeks, bi-weeks or months. Adapt your view to match your project’s pacing.
Exceptions: the Time In Status chart doesn’t have “Unit” options because it automatically adjusts the Y-axis based on the metrics, showing time in hours, days, or weeks as needed.
Bring additional value with statistics like Mode, Mean, Median, 50%, 85%, or a custom percentile directly on your chart.
Use checkboxes to toggle these stats on or off.
Exceptions: the Time In Status chart doesn't include statistics, as this chart focuses on the distribution of time across different statuses rather than specific statistical measures.
Highlight critical areas on your Cycle Time chart to draw attention to important data ranges or thresholds. Keep your team’s focus where it matters most.
Add highlights, choose the range and color to customize the look.
Exceptions:
The Time In Status doesn’t support highlights because the chart already stacks data by status, making additional highlights redundant.
Highlights aren't as useful for the Trend Сhart because it emphasizes overall trends and progress over time, rather than isolated data points. The Trend chart uses Targets as an analog to highlights, focusing on long-term goals rather than specific data ranges
Mark your goals directly on the chart with target lines. Customize their appearance to keep your objectives clear and in view.
Customize each target’s name, value, and color to match your objectives.
Exception:
Targets are exclusive to the Trend chart, replacing Highlights from the Cycle Time chart. They allow you to set specific benchmarks, offering a clear way to track long-term goals and trends. This approach fits trend analysis better than highlighting specific data ranges.
The Time in Status chart lacks Targets because it focuses on analyzing how long tasks stay in each status, not on tracking progress toward long-term goals, which makes targets irelevant.
Understand the variability of your process with distribution types like Gaussian, Exponential, or Pareto. See where your process shines and where it might stumble.
The system automatically calculates and displays the distribution type based on your data. This helps you understand the predictability of your process.
Distribution types we support:
Right-Skewed Thin-Tailed Distribution
Right-Skewed Fat-Tailed Distribution
Left-Skewed Thin-Tailed Distribution
Left-Skewed Fat-Tailed Distribution
Gaussian (Thin-Tailed) Distribution
Compress those long-tail data points into a single, easy-to-digest area. Keep your charts clear, concise, and clutter-free.
By default, this option collapses all data above the 95th percentile.
