Graphs and charts overview

Here is an overview of all the available graphs and charts.

Card types breakdown

This simple pie chart represents the breakdown of cards of different types. Archive cards are included.

Card types breakdown

Cumulative Flow Diagram

This chart allows you to get a quick overview of what’s happening in a project. On the vertical axis you will find a number of cards while the horizontal axis represents time. The different curves represent the cumulative number of cards in each groupe as time flows.

Cumulative Flow Diagram

Reading the graph on the vertical axis will help you estimate the amount of work that was done/needs to be done. This graph helps you identify bottleneck in your workflow.

In the options settings, you can decide to:

  • change the groups used for the flow
  • use a 30 days timespan, or since the beginning of the project
  • display or not the archived cards

Burndown chart

Burndown chart is one of the main charts of the Scrum methodology, it will let you know exactly how much points of work needs to be done before the end of the current sprint. As the chart is drawn, it will automatically forecast a end date for your sprint, and you know then if you’re ahead of time or late in your current iteration.

burndown example

After selected a context which represent your sprint (or iteration), a first graph will be drawn.

In the settings you can select a card field (type number or size), which will serve as story points. If none is selected, 1 card equal 1 point. However you can select a default weighting for your card.

The duration of your sprint is set by the start and end date you’ve given to your groups.

By default it will take the current active sprint (the group with the start and end dates corresponding to today) but you can choose the one you prefer in the options.

burndown chart

Archived cards are not used in the construction of your burndown charts, be careful if you want to see the burndown of an old sprint.

Workload

The workload shows you how much cards are assigned to each members and a quick ideas of the state of the cards.

workload widget

Under 0 is the number of cards waiting to be worked on.

Above is the number of cards which are currently worked on, or done.

Archived cards are not displayed.

You can ponderate your chart by a card field (type number or size).

If we talk about builtin card states, To do represents undecided et accepted states, Doing represents In progress and Waiting, Done represents completed and closed.

With this graph you can quickly rebalance work in the team.

Assignees breakdown

This simple pie chart represents the breakdown between assignees to a card. It takes into account any field of type Member. Archive cards are not included.

Assignees breakdown

Groups

The groups graph shows the total number of cards in each of the group of the selected context.

Completed cards are represented by a darker color in the column.

group widget

Card per groups

This pie chart shows the card per group of the selected context. It gives you a percentage instead of a precise value like the latter graph.

cards per group widget

Time between groups (or cycle time)

Note: this chart assumes your kanban columns flow from left to right.

This table shows the amount of time it takes for cards to go from one group to another. It reads as: “Cards from groups on the vertical axis took on average X amount of time to go to groups on the horizontal axis”.

Cycle times

In this example, cards took in average 28 days to go from Doing to Released.

Each value from the table is independent from the others, it does not take into account the flow of your groups.

The options let you decide which group you want to use for your flow.

Time between two groups

This widget let you display the time card takes to go from group A to group B during a seleted time span (this week, last week, this month etc).

Time between two groups

Evolution of time between two groups

This graph lets you display the changes through time of the time card takes to go from group A to group B.

Evolution of time between two groups

Evolution of number of cards in group

This graph lets you display the changes through time of number of cards in a specific group

Evolution of number of cards in group

Here for example, you can see the changes in the number of cards in the group hotfix.

Weekly velocity

Weekly velocity graph shows you how much card you’ve done per week through time, and draw an average velocity per week line (in red).

Weekly velocity

If you choose to ponderate your velocity by a card field (type number or size), it also draws a line for the number of finished card.

You can choose the period : last 30 days, last 10 weeks, all time.

You can choose to exclude archived cards.

Velocity per groups

Velocity per group graph shows your velocity (how much card done per week) per group of the specified context, and draw an average velocity per week line (in red).

Velocity per group

If you choose to ponderate your velocity by a card field (type number or size) , it also draws aline for the number of finished card.

You can choose to exclude archived cards.

Members velocity

Members velocity table show you velocity and stats for every member of your project.

Members velocity

It gives you number of finished cards, average completion time, average weekly velocity, average group velocity.

You should select the card field (type member), which is considered as the assignee of the card.

You should select a context which will serve for the average group velocity calculation. For example your Sprints.

You can choose to ponderate your velocity by a card field (type number or size). For example your Story points.

You can choose to exclude archived cards.

Queries

Queries will give you numbers about your projects.

Some queries are proposed by default.

default queries

You can use the KQL language to create a custom query.

Kantree features a powerful query language called KQL (Kantree Query Language). It allows you to make advanced searches in your project very easily. Learn more about KQL.

Here are some examples of query widgets.

query widgets

Click on a widget, and it will open a kanban with the corresponding filter.

You can choose to group the results of your queries by some groups or card fields and display them in graphs

For example, display cards grouped by assignees in a Pie chart.

group by query

Choose between Table, Line, Bar, Pie and Radar graphes.

Define multiple queries one after another using ;. The results will be automatically displayed in a Table

For instance, query(@me, count()); query(not @me, count())

By default, your queries expression will be displayed in charts

However you can provide a label that will be displayed instead, using this syntax query as "label"

For instance, query(@me, count()) as "My cards"

Cards lists

You can create card lists using Cards widgets.

Select your filters with the menu.

default cards widgets

It display a list of cards matching the selected filter.
