Report on productivity
Analyze team performance to increase delivery predictability
Understand delivery pace
Gain insights into how efficiently the team delivers value. Track agile metrics — like sprint velocity or weekly throughput — to see exactly how much work the team gets done. Look at performance trends over time to set a baseline and identify opportunities for improvement. The goal is to establish a sustainable pace that empowers teams to make a tangible impact.
Forecast more accurately
Answer "How long will it take?" with certainty. Use the team's average output to inform your release and sprint planning. Create detailed estimates in story points or time and manage capacity based on what the team can realistically commit to. Cycle and lead time reports also help you predict completion dates. This enables you to set delivery expectations based on real performance data.
Compare actual efforts to plans
Gauge how well you are doing. Use interactive burndown charts to monitor release and sprint progress. Understand at a glance what work has been completed and what still needs to be done. Keep an eye out for date changes, scope shifts, and other risks — so you can keep delivery on track. Conduct retrospectives to review the team's productivity, discussing ways to streamline your process and plan more effectively going forward.
Highlight team momentum
Increase visibility into engineering's progress. Create a delivery dashboard to celebrate achievements — charting out features shipped by month and product value created. Include agile reports for added transparency. Sharing performance insights with the broader product team drives smarter decision-making, opening up meaningful conversations on how to work together more effectively.
