# Project Breakdown
Project Breakdown lets you compare every project in your workspace without opening them one at a time. See which projects are moving, which are stalled, and where work is piling up — all from a single view.

## KPI cards

The top row shifts focus to project-level metrics:

| Card | What it tells you |
|------|-------------------|
| **Projects Tracked** | Total projects in scope for the selected time range. |
| **Total Tasks** | Sum of all tasks within the selected window, across all projects. |
| **Backlog Load** | Count of tasks sitting in To Do status. Low is good — it means work is being picked up. |
| **In Progress** | Tasks currently being executed. Watch for this growing without corresponding completions. |
| **Tracked Sprints** | Open and closed sprint records in the window. |
| **Completion** | Overall completion percentage with a count of done tasks. |

## Project Flow Mix chart

The center chart is a stacked bar graph showing task distribution by status for each project. Six status categories are represented: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review, Verified, and Done.

**What to look for:**
- A project that's mostly "Done" with a thin Backlog = healthy, shipping steadily.
- A project heavy on Backlog or To Do with little In Progress = stalled or under-staffed.
- A tall In Review bar = review is the bottleneck for that project.

Toggle individual status categories on or off using the legend buttons below the chart.

## Project Perspectives carousel

Four perspectives provide deeper project-level signals:

| Perspective | What it shows |
|-------------|---------------|
| **Backlog Pressure** | Projects ranked by queued workload size. Large backlogs relative to total tasks signal intake exceeding capacity. |
| **Review Queue** | Projects with the most tasks waiting for review. A clogged review queue slows the entire pipeline. |
| **Sprint Density** | How many sprints each project is running or has closed. Sparse sprint activity may indicate ad-hoc delivery without structure. |
| **Completion Watch** | Projects sorted by completion percentage. Spot which projects are closest to done — or furthest behind. |

Each perspective card is clickable, linking directly to the project or filtered task view for immediate action.

## Next steps

- Use [Agent Workload Pulse](../agent-workload-pulse/) to check whether agent capacity matches project demand.
- Open [Sprints](/valdr/docs/ui/sprints/) to create delivery cycles for projects with large backlogs.
- Drill into [Agent Drilldown](../agent-drilldown/) to understand resource consumption per project's agents.
