Reporting for Trello

When your work lives in lists, you can't see patterns or trends. How many cards are done versus in progress? Where is work getting stuck? You answer these questions by manually counting cards or exporting to spreadsheets, wasting hours that could be spent on actual work.

Dashboards turn your board data into visual charts and metrics. Choose the metrics that matter for your work: - Burndown charts show whether you're on track to finish on time - Pie charts display work distribution across lists or labels - Bar charts compare completion rates between team members - Number widgets highlight key totals or averages

The dashboard updates automatically as you move cards and change their properties. What took hours to compile manually now updates instantly, giving you current data whenever you need it.

Gut feelings about team performance can mislead you. You think Design is the bottleneck, but data shows Development actually takes longer. You believe productivity is dropping, but metrics reveal you're completing more cards than last month. Without data, you make decisions based on the loudest voices or most recent memories.

Performance reports show objective data about how work flows through your board: - Cycle time reveals how long cards take from start to finish - Throughput tracks how many cards complete each week or sprint - Time in list identifies where cards get stuck - Velocity trends show whether the team is speeding up or slowing down

These metrics help you have productive conversations about process improvements. Instead of debating opinions, you discuss actual data and experiment with changes that address real bottlenecks.

Creating status reports manually eats up productive time. You screenshot boards, copy data into slides, write summaries of what's complete and what's at risk. By the time stakeholders see the report, it's already out of date. Team members spend Friday afternoons preparing reports instead of finishing work.

Automated reporting transforms your board data into stakeholder-ready formats: - Export filtered views to spreadsheets for executive reviews - Generate charts showing progress toward milestones - Create summary reports highlighting completed work and blockers - Schedule recurring reports that send automatically

Reports pull current data directly from your boards, so stakeholders always see accurate information. You configure reports once, then they generate on demand or on schedule. This frees you from report compilation while keeping everyone informed.
