Time Chart
This post is also available in: Deutsch
Coming soon with the KanBo 3.0 version!
In this article:
Overview
Time Chart is a space view that allows you to gain insights into the time it takes to complete tasks in your workflow. It provides you with valuable information about lead time, reaction time, and cycle time, which are essential metrics for measuring the efficiency of your processes.
Time parameters
There are 3 important parameters you can follow:
- Lead time refers to the total time taken from the creation of a card until its completion.
- Reaction time measures the time between card creation and when work begins on it.
- Cycle time, on the other hand, measures the total time it takes from when work begins on a card until its completion.
Lead time
Lead time refers to the total time taken from the creation of a card until its completion. It helps you understand how long it takes for cards to move through your workflow from start to finish. By tracking lead time, you can identify areas where delays occur and take steps to optimize your workflow.

Lead time = Reaction time + Cycle time
In other words it is a time to go from Not started to
Completed status role.
Cards with the Information status are not included in the Time Chart view.
Reaction time
Reaction time measures the time between card creation and when work begins on it. This marked with blue color metric helps you gauge how quickly your team responds to new tasks and ensures that work is initiated promptly after card creation. By monitoring reaction time, you can identify any bottlenecks or delays in task initiation and make necessary adjustments to improve efficiency.

Cycle time
Cycle time, on the other hand, measures the total time it takes from when work begins on a card until its completion. This metric provides you with insights into how long it takes for your team to complete tasks after they have started working on them. By analyzing cycle time, you can identify any factors or steps that may be causing delays or slowing down the completion of cards.

Analyze your workflow
Time Chart view also allows you to break down cycle time and analyze the distribution of cards based on their resolution time. This breakdown provides a clear picture of how long tasks typically take to be resolved, which can help you set realistic expectations for card completion and identify any outliers or patterns.
Time range
First of all, select the time period you want to analyze by choosing one of the options in the Time range drop-down menu.

Now you will see the results of the analysis adequate for the selected time interval.
Reading charts
On the left is a graph showing the progression of tasks within the selected time range.
When you hover over a specific time period column, you can view the details – the average reaction time, cycle time and the number of tasks done.
When you click on that chart, it will take you to another view, where you can analyze how long the cards were in each card status. This chart is more personalized to your space and its specific workflow.

Additionally, the Time Chart enables you to visualize how long each workflow step takes in your process. By viewing the average time cards spend in each workflow state before completion, you can identify any steps that are causing delays or taking longer than expected. This information can help you optimize your workflow and streamline the process by addressing any bottlenecks or inefficiencies.
By monitoring lead time, reaction time, and cycle time, you can identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions to enhance efficiency and productivity in your work processes.
Creating Time Chart views
Only space owners can create shared space views, but any space user can create personal space views.
To create a Time Chart view:
- Open the space.
- On the top space bar, select the space view button.

- Select the + Add view button.

- Select the Time Chart option.
- Enter the view name, and then select Add.
Renaming Time Chart views
Only space owners can rename the space view.
The name of every view can be easily changed with the view settings.
To rename a Time Chart view:
- Open the space.
- On the top space bar, select the space view button.
- On the Time Chart view, go to More (the three-dot menu), and then select
Settings.

- Select the name field.
- Enter the new name, and then select Save.
Deleting Time Chart views
Only space owners can delete the space view.
To delete a Time Chart view:
- Open the space.
- On the top space bar, select the space view button.
- On the Time Chart view, go to More (the three-dot menu), and then select
Delete.

If the space has only one view, you cannot delete it.
