Project stats gives you a quick numerical pulse on a project: how much is open, how much is overdue, how fast tasks are getting completed, and what's coming up next. Useful for status check-ins and for spotting projects that have stalled.
What this page helps you do
See a project's health at a glance.
Spot what's overdue or piling up.
Get a sense of throughput (tasks completed over time).
Use the numbers to plan next steps.
Open project stats
Open the project from the Projects hub. Click Stats in the project header.
You'll see a dashboard with a few key numbers and small charts.
What's on the page
Common metrics:
Open tasks: how many tasks aren't yet in the Done column.
Done this week / this month: how many tasks have been completed in the last 7 / 30 days.
Overdue: open tasks past their due date. Red when above zero.
Coming up: open tasks due in the next 7 days.
Unassigned: open tasks without an assignee. Often a leak indicator.
By column: count of tasks in each column (so you can see if any one column is getting backed up).
By assignee: count of open tasks per person, useful for load balancing.
The exact metrics shown can evolve over time; the dashboard is meant to answer "is this project healthy?" without making you click around.
Reading the stats
A few patterns and what they mean:
High Overdue + low Done this week → the project is stalled. Time for a status check-in.
High Open + low In progress → backlog growing faster than work is getting done. Either prune the backlog or find capacity.
Single column has 80% of tasks → that column is your bottleneck. Look at why work is parking there.
Half the open tasks are unassigned → either you're triaging quickly enough or you're accumulating "later, maybe" items. Decide consciously.
Very low Done this month → tasks aren't being marked Done as work finishes. Coach the team to close out tasks, or rethink the workflow.
Tips & common questions
Stats look bad, what should I do? Use the dashboard as a conversation starter, not a verdict. Bad numbers often reflect rough patches in real work. Talk to the team about what's happening before reorganizing.
Can I see stats across all projects? Today stats are per-project. The Boardssey dashboard surface (sidebar → Dashboard) shows some cross-project numbers; full cross-project analytics is on the roadmap.
Can I export the stats to a report? Not directly. Take a screenshot for status updates, or copy specific numbers into a doc.
The numbers don't update immediately. Stats are computed periodically and may lag by a few minutes. If something seems wildly off, refresh the page.
Can I customize which metrics show? Not today. The default dashboard is the one we offer.
