The data
This Report displays the number of Items created, started, and completed over time. Hover over any data point to open a tooltip that lists the number of Items it includes.
Beneath the graph, there are four icons that show how the Items included in the Report were submitted:
- The number beside the computer icon represents the number of Items that were submitted via the browser app.
- The number beside the smartphone icon represents the number of Items that were submitted via the mobile app.
- The number beside the envelope icon represents the number of Items that were submitted via email.
- The number beside the tablet icon represents the number of items that were submitted via the kiosk.
This Report can tell you a lot about the health of your improvement culture:
- A high slope of submissions and completions indicates a healthy improvement culture.
- An inflection point in the slope of submission and completion usually reflects a change in leadership behaviors and/or improvement processes.
- A low slope of submissions and completion is a warning sign that may indicate an unhealthy improvement culture.
- More Items being submitted than being completed may result in improvement efforts slowing, engagement decreasing, and ultimately may damage your improvement culture.
