Tasks Assigned
Delivery Throughput
Counts the number of tasks assigned to you during the selected period.
💡 Like a queue at your desk, tasks assigned shows how much work has landed on your plate, whether or not you have started it yet.
What It Measures
Counts the number of tasks assigned to you during the selected period.
Why It Matters
Understanding your incoming workload
Monitoring task assignment volume over time
How It's Calculated
Counts each task assigned to you in the date range.
COUNT(tasks WHERE assignee = user AND assigned_at BETWEEN measure_from AND measure_to)Concrete Example
If 18 tasks were assigned to you this sprint while you completed 12, you may be taking on more than you can finish, a signal to renegotiate scope.
What Does a Healthy Score Look Like?
Should roughly match your completion capacity to avoid overload.
Healthy
Close to your average tickets completed per period
Watch Out
30–50% more than your completion rate
Needs Attention
More than double your completion rate
What Moves This Metric?
Goes up when…
More tasks being created and distributed across the team
You being assigned to more epics or projects simultaneously
Reactive work from incidents or customer escalations
Goes down when…
Work being distributed more evenly across the team
Fewer tasks created in that period
Assignment policies being updated or automated
