Throughput dashboard
Track how quickly work is moving through a project and where bottlenecks are forming.
The Throughput dashboard shows project velocity over time. Use it to monitor completed work, remaining work, and the time spent annotating and reviewing tasks.
For data quality-focused metrics, see the Data quality dashboard. For member-level productivity and agreement, see the Members dashboard.
Access the dashboard
From the project, open the Dashboard tab and select Throughput from the dashboard navigation.
Filter by date range
Use the date range filter to update the KPI cards and charts for the selected time period.
If you include a precise time, the dashboard uses that timestamp when determining which task and work events fall within the range.
KPI cards
The top of the dashboard shows summary cards for the selected date range.
| KPI | Description |
|---|---|
| Tasks Done | Number of tasks that reached the Done state during the selected date range. |
| Avg Tasks Done / Day | Average number of tasks completed per day in the selected date range. Calculated as Tasks Done / Days. |
| Total Time Spent | Total time spent annotating and reviewing. Note: Annotation time uses active annotation time, as opposed to lead time. |
| Avg Time / Task | Average time spent per Done task. Calculated as Total Time Spent / Tasks Done. |
note
Task state metrics are based on project and task state management. If state tracking was enabled after some project work had already happened, earlier state transitions might not appear in the dashboard.
Throughput charts
| Chart | Description |
|---|---|
| Remaining Tasks by State | Stacked bar chart of tasks remaining in each state over time. A shrinking chart indicates work is progressing; a growing segment in one state suggests a bottleneck; a high number in review states suggests reviewers are not keeping pace with annotators. |
| Tasks Done / Day | Number of tasks reaching the Done state per day. The same task may appear on multiple days if it is re-worked after reaching Done. Use it to track velocity and spot output changes after adjusting staffing, task instructions, review requirements, or project settings. |
| Time Spent | Time spent over the selected period, split between annotation and review. Use it to understand how effort is distributed across work types over time. |
