Epic Task Streak

Architect & Collaboration Metrics
tasks

Shows the longest consecutive streak of tasks created under epics.

💡 Like building a wall brick by brick in sequence, a long epic streak shows you can stay focused on one initiative without fragmented attention.

What It Measures

Shows the longest consecutive streak of tasks created under epics.

Why It Matters

Tracking sustained architectural discipline
Monitoring consistent decomposition practice over time

How It's Calculated

Finds the maximum number of consecutive tasks with an epic association.

MAX(consecutive_tasks_with_epic_id)
Concrete Example

If your longest streak of consecutive tasks in the same epic is 8, you're sustaining focused delivery on a single initiative for 8 tasks in a row, great architectural discipline.

What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Higher is better, longer streaks indicate sustained architectural focus.
Healthy
Streak of 5 or more consecutive tasks in the same epic
Watch Out
Streak of 2–4
Needs Attention
Streak of 1, constantly jumping between different epics
What Moves This Metric?
Goes up when…
Sustained sprint focus on a single major initiative
Strong epic decomposition keeping related tasks together
Reduced context switching between unrelated projects
Goes down when…
High-context switching between multiple epics or projects
Reactive work interrupting planned epic delivery
Fragmented planning with tasks scattered across many initiatives
