Tasks In Review
Activity Volume
Counts the number of tasks that moved to In Review during the selected period.
đĄ Like items in your quality inspection queue, the more tasks sitting here, the more bottleneck you have before shipping.
What It Measures
Counts the number of tasks that moved to In Review during the selected period.
Why It Matters
Monitoring how much work is waiting for review feedback
Understanding review queue volume
How It's Calculated
Counts each status transition to In Review in the date range.
COUNT(status_transitions WHERE new_status = in_review AND timestamp BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)Concrete Example
If 12 tasks moved to In Review this sprint and you completed 10, two tasks are waiting for feedback, a healthy review queue size.
What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
