Activity by Persona Report

Track which Personas are the most active in your organization and whether their participation levels match expectations

In addition to measuring the activity of People, Locations, and Templates, you can also evaluate activity by Persona. Personas are a great way to classify Users who may have vastly different goals and responsibilities based on their role in improvement, whether as frontline workers, team leaders, or executives. Use Activity by Persona Reports to compare the contributions of each Persona type to your organization's improvement efforts. 

An Activity by Persona Report shows you the number of Items completed by each of your organization’s Personas, the percentage of those Items that resulted in Change, and Item Status by Persona. At a glance, you can identify bottlenecks, which Personas are involved with high impact Items, and whether a Persona within your organization needs to be more engaged.

Example of an Activity by Persona Report. For each Persona in the Report, you can see its total number of Items and information about those Items, including a Status Bar.

Working with the Report

• Understand the Report views
• Control what data is displayed on the Report by using Filters
• See a List of Items referenced by the Report
• Share the Report

Choose the Report view

The Activity by Persona Report has two views: List and Graph. To toggle between them, click the name of the view you want to see.

• List view shows the number of Items on which each Persona has filled a specified Team Role, how many and what percent of those Items resulted in change, and a Status Bar, which displays the current Status for the referenced Items. 
  • To customize the columns appearing on the List view, hover over a column’s header and click the dropdown. Select Columns to add or remove columns from the list, and select Sort Ascending or Sort Descending to sort the list by that column in ascending or descending order.
• Graph view displays the data as a bar graph. 
  • Display as Bar: Expand the drop-down to select which dataset the report will represent. The default dataset is total number of Items per user.
  • Sort: Expand the drop-down to select the criterion you want the dataset ordered by. 
  • Show Values: When enabled, the value of each data point will be displayed on the graph.

Regardless of the view, you should look for:

• Personas that submit a lot of Items resulting in no change. They might need coaching on what continuous improvement is and how to come up with implementable ideas.
• Personas who submit a lot of Items that result in change. Consider why this Persona initiates a lot of change and whether that can be replicated in the work of other Personas. 
• Personas who have a lot of new or overdue Items. This may be indicative of a bottleneck.

Add Filters to customize your Report

Any relevant Filters active on the main Reports screen will automatically be applied to your Report, but you can add additional Filters as needed.

  • If the Team Role is highlighted in gray, Items where the Persona has filled that Team Role are included in the Report data. 
  • Select one of the Team Roles highlighted in gray to toggle off that Team Role. Items where each Persona has filled that Team Role will no longer be included in the Report data.
