What are GitScrum Reports and Analytics?
GitScrum Reports provide visual analytics for project health: Cumulative Flow Diagrams show work distribution across columns over time, Project Age Analysis identifies stale tasks, and Weekly Activity Heatmaps reveal when your team is most active. These reports help identify bottlenecks, predict delivery, and improve flow without micromanaging individual developers.
GitScrum reports overview
| Report | What It Shows | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Cumulative Flow | Work distribution over time | Identify bottlenecks |
| Project Age | Tasks by age in current column | Find stale work |
| Weekly Activity | Heatmap of team activity | Understand work patterns |
How to read Cumulative Flow Diagram:
- Smooth parallel bands - Healthy flow, consistent throughput
- Widening band - Work accumulating, potential bottleneck
- Narrowing toward top - Work completing faster than entering
- Bulge in middle columns - Review or Testing bottleneck
- Flat bottom band - Backlog stable, not over-planning
- Sudden narrowing - Sprint completion or scope cut
Project Age Analysis insights
| Age Range | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0-3 days | Normal | On track |
| 4-7 days | Aging | Check for blockers |
| 8-14 days | Stale | Needs attention |
| 15+ days | Critical | Unblock or archive |
Weekly Activity Heatmap uses
- Identify peak hours - When team is most active
- Spot gaps - Times with no activity
- Timezone coverage - See when each region works
- Meeting impact - Correlate with meeting schedules
- Burnout signals - Excessive off-hours work
Report-driven improvements
| Report Finding | Improvement Action |
|---|---|
| Review column widening | Add reviewers, lower WIP |
| Many 14+ day old tasks | Weekly stale task review |
| Low activity Mondays | Adjust meeting schedules |
| Testing bottleneck | Add QA capacity or automation |
| Sporadic throughput | Stabilize WIP limits |
