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.
Project Breakdown — KPI cards, flow mix chart, and Backlog Pressure perspective
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 to check whether agent capacity matches project demand.
- Open Sprints to create delivery cycles for projects with large backlogs.
- Drill into Agent Drilldown to understand resource consumption per project’s agents.
