Charts are only available in the Professional, Premium, Enterprise plans. More information can be found on our pricing page.

Line Chart

Line charts are useful for tracking project trends over time or analyzing data based on specific criteria, such as assignees.

You can use line charts to:

1. Visualize progress, e.g., the number of tasks completed within a specific timeframe.
2. Compare completed vs. pending tasks per team member.
3. View task distribution among team members.

Area Chart

Area charts provide a clear view of how totals evolve over time or based on specific criteria, such as assignees. They are particularly effective for comparing multiple stacked categories.

Area charts are ideal for:

1. Visualizing cumulative data, e.g., total tasks per member grouped by task priority.
2. Showing total time each member has spent on tasks in a timeframe.
3. Assessing overall progress and monitoring individual contributions.

Bar Chart

Bar charts are designed to compare values across different categories at a specific point in time.

They are useful to:

1. Visualize the number of tasks completed by various members.
2. Group tasks by status or other attributes.
3. Identify workload distribution and make informed decisions on resource allocation.

Pie and Donut Chart

Pie and donut charts show the proportional breakdown of a whole into different categories at a specific moment.

You can use them to:

1. Visualize the percentage of a project completed in different phases.
2. Show resource distribution categorized by tags.
3. Quickly understand how components contribute to overall project progress.

Nested Donut Chart

Nested donut charts provide a multi-level visualization of hierarchical data, showing proportions within a whole.

• Outer ring: Represents a primary category
• Inner ring: Offers a secondary breakdown

Common use case:

1. Outer ring shows scheduled dates.
2. Inner ring shows assignees.
3. Quickly identify unscheduled or in-progress tasks for efficient task reallocation.
