Project Health
Monitor the health of your projects by tracking overdue tasks, stale items without recent activity, and inactive projects. This view helps managers identify and address issues before they escalate.
Overview
The Project Health page provides a comprehensive view of potential issues across all projects in your workspace. The dashboard highlights tasks that need attention and projects that may have stalled.
The header displays three key metrics:
- Overdue count: Number of tasks past their due date (shown in red when > 0)
- Stale count: Number of tasks with no recent activity (shown in yellow when > 0)
- Avg Score: Average health score across all projects
Health Distribution Chart
A donut chart visualizing how projects are distributed across health categories. The chart shows the proportion of projects in each health state:
- Healthy (green): Projects with few or no issues
- Warning (yellow): Projects with some overdue or stale tasks
- Critical (red): Projects with significant issues requiring attention
Hover over segments to see the exact counts.
Project Health Scores
A list of all projects ordered by health score (lowest first), allowing you to quickly focus on projects needing attention:
Project Information
Each row displays:
- Project Logo: Visual identifier
- Project Name: The project name (truncated if long)
- Overdue Tasks: Count of overdue tasks in red (if any)
- Stale Tasks: Count of stale tasks in yellow (if any)
- Health Score: A numeric score (0-100) with color-coded background:
- Green background: Healthy status
- Yellow background: Warning status
- Red background: Critical status
Click any project row to open that project in a new tab.
Overdue Tasks
When tasks exist past their due date, this section displays a list with:
- Task Code: Unique identifier for the task
- Task Title: Name of the task
- Project Name: Which project the task belongs to
- Days Late: How many days past due (format: "3d late" or "1d 5h late")
Click any task row to open the task details drawer.
Stale Tasks
Tasks without recent activity are listed separately:
- Task Code: Unique identifier for the task
- Task Title: Name of the task
- Project Name: Which project the task belongs to
- No Activity Duration: How long since last update (format: "7d no activity")
Stale tasks may indicate blocked work or items that need follow-up. Click any task row to open the task details.
Inactive Projects
Projects with no recent activity are highlighted:
- Project Logo: Visual identifier
- Project Name: The project name
- Open Tasks: Count of tasks still open in the project
- Inactive Duration: How long since any activity (format: "14d inactive")
Inactive projects with open tasks may need attention to determine if they should be resumed or closed. Click to navigate to the project.
All Clear State
When there are no overdue tasks, no stale tasks, and no inactive projects, the page displays a success message with a green checkmark icon indicating all projects are healthy.
Refreshing Data
Click the refresh button in the header (circular arrow icon) to reload the health data. The button displays a spinner during the refresh.
Understanding Health Scores
The health score (0-100) is calculated based on:
- Number of overdue tasks relative to total tasks
- Number of stale tasks relative to total tasks
- Recent activity levels
Higher scores indicate healthier projects. Projects with scores below 70 are in warning state, and those below 40 are in critical state.
