Team Leader Dashboard

The Team Leader dashboard is designed for team leads and managers who need to monitor their team's workload and performance. It provides visibility into team capacity and task distribution.

Access: Open it from the sidebar's pinned dashboards list or the Dashboards manager. It lives at a /dashboards/DASH-NNN address and is the default for users designated as a team leader.

Team Velocity

A line chart comparing completed tasks against a target over recent weeks (up to the last 8 weeks). Use this to:

  • Track team productivity trends
  • Identify periods of high or low output
  • Set realistic targets for future sprints

Team Work Board

A Kanban-style board showing task distribution by team member:

  • Columns - One column per team member with tasks, plus an "Unassigned" column
  • Task Cards - Show task ID, title, priority indicator, due date, and assignee
  • Quick Actions - Click cards to view task details, drag to reassign

The board respects the dashboard's filter bar at the top of the page (for example, an Assignee select and a date-range picker), so filtering the dashboard also filters the board.

This board helps you identify:

  • Workload imbalances - Some team members overloaded while others have capacity
  • Unassigned work - Tasks that need to be assigned to team members
  • Urgent items - High priority and overdue tasks sorted to the top
  • Capacity planning - Who can take on new work

Understanding the Metrics

Tasks Completed

Shows the count of tasks completed in the current week compared to the previous week.

  • Current Week - Tasks closed since the start of this week
  • Previous Week - Tasks closed during the prior week
  • Trend - Green if current > previous, red if lower

This metric helps you understand if team productivity is improving or declining.

Active Tasks

Displays total open tasks with a breakdown of items due this week.

  • Total Open - All tasks not yet completed
  • Due This Week - Subset that must be completed soon

Use this to prioritize team focus and identify urgent items that need attention.

Tasks This Week

The count of tasks your team completed this week compared to last week. Watch this alongside the Team Velocity chart to spot week-over-week trends in your team's output.

On-Time Completion

Your team's percentage of tasks completed by their due date, measured against the dashboard's target (90% by default). This metric helps you:

  • Monitor team reliability
  • Identify if deadlines are realistic
  • Spot patterns in missed deadlines

Tips for Team Leaders

Balance Workload

Use the Team Work Board daily to spot imbalances. If one team member has significantly more tasks than others:

  1. Review task assignments
  2. Consider redistributing work
  3. Check for blockers preventing progress

Monitor Velocity Trends

Declining velocity on the Team Velocity chart often indicates:

  • Team burnout
  • Unclear requirements causing rework
  • Too many context switches
  • Technical debt slowing progress

Follow Up on Due Dates

Tasks due this week should be your daily focus. Check in with team members on items at risk of missing deadlines.

Celebrate Progress
