Agility dashboards

Agility dashboards provide a comprehensive overview of Agile project management, offering insights into project progress, team performance, and workflow efficiency. They enable stakeholders to track earned value, monitor backlog size, responsiveness, and throughput, and identify trends in defects, testing, and velocity. The dashboards also provide details on work item progress, cycle times, and status changes, allowing for better prioritization and resource allocation. Portfolio-level metrics help analyze delivery, completion, and cycle times, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives.Overall, these dashboards empower teams to make data-driven decisions, improve predictability, and optimize processes for successful project outcomes.

The following table lists the prebuilt dashboards:
