Reports Page

The Reports page is where you go to understand how your team is performing over time. It pulls live data from your workspace and presents it through a set of focused analytics views, each on its own tab. Use it to prepare for retros, share progress with stakeholders, or spot trends before they become problems.

Opening the Reports page​

  1. In the left sidebar, click Reports. You can also reach it from the Reports shortcut on the dashboard Quick Actions bar.
  2. The page opens on the first tab by default. Switch tabs to view different analytics — your data does not reload between tabs, so navigation is instant.

The Reports page is scoped to the active workspace. Switch workspaces in the top navigation bar to see data for a different one.

Available analytics tabs​

The Reports page organises insights into six tabs:

  • Planned vs Actual — compares the planned start and end dates for tasks and issues against the actual dates work began and ended. Useful for spotting chronic schedule slippage.
  • Workload — shows how work is distributed across team members. You can see who is over-allocated and who has spare capacity.
  • Sprint Health — a per-sprint view of scope, completion rate, burndown, and items carried over. Great for sprint retros.
  • Release Progress — tracks each release against its target date, showing the share of committed work that is done, in progress, and not started.
  • Daily Status — a day-by-day snapshot of what was completed, started, or updated. Helpful for daily stand-ups and written status updates.
  • Work Hours — aggregates time logged across tasks, issues, and activity types, with breakdowns by user and date.

Each tab renders independently — you do not have to wait for every view to load before switching.

How to use the page​

The tabs are read-only summaries rather than editors, but they work hand-in-hand with the rest of the app:

  1. Start on the tab most relevant to your question (e.g., Sprint Health before a retro).
  2. Review the summary numbers at the top of the tab.
  3. Scroll down to see detailed breakdowns by sprint, release, or member.
  4. Click a sprint, release, or member name — where shown — to jump to the detail page for more context.

Because the data is live, running the same tab at different times of day will give slightly different numbers as work progresses.

Tips​

  • Use Sprint Health right before your sprint review meeting to anchor the conversation in facts.
  • Workload is the quickest way to see whether an upcoming sprint is realistic — balance the plan before committing.
  • Work Hours only includes time that has been logged via timers or manual entries; remind teammates to log time if the numbers look low.
  • Take a screenshot or print the page to PDF for easy sharing with people who are not Varai Sprints users.
