Tasks Done

Activity Volume

Counts the number of tasks that moved to Done during the selected period.

💡 Like closing completed tickets at the end of the day, each task done represents value shipped to your users.

What It Measures

Counts the number of tasks that moved to Done during the selected period.

Why It Matters

Tracking completed throughput regardless of story points
Monitoring how many items you finish

How It's Calculated

Counts each status transition to Done in the date range.

COUNT(status_transitions WHERE new_status = done AND timestamp BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)
Concrete Example

If 18 tasks moved to Done this sprint, that is your completion rate, the primary throughput signal for delivery health.

What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Higher is better, but consistency matters more than peaks.
Healthy
Stable or growing compared to previous periods
Watch Out
Drops of 30%+ from your moving average
Needs Attention
Consecutive declining sprints without explanation
