The data

This Report displays the total amount of time a user's Items take to be completed, the amount of time their Items are considered "in progress," and the amount of time their Items spend in each status. For this Report:

• Total: Represents the average time a user's Items take to go from the New to the Completed status, including the time spent in the Planned and Deferred statuses, but not the Draft status.
• In Progress: Represents the average time a user's Items take to go from the New to the Completed status, not including the time spent in the Planned, Deferred, or Draft statuses.

This Report can tell you a lot about the health of your improvement culture:

• People who take significantly longer to complete Items or whose Items spend a long time in the Overdue status may need additional coaching or may need help deligating their work.
• People whose Items spend a long time in the New or Resolution Submitted status may indicate a bottleneck. Their team leader or manager may need additional coaching.

The filters

Any relevant filters in use on the main Reports screen will be automatically applied to this Report but can still be configured as needed.
