Analysis: where the time goes and where work gets stuck
The “Analysis” tab answers five questions about a project: how work flows, what comes back, where the time goes, what the project is made of and how sprints are going.

- Large projects and backlogs open faster: the list loads in batches.
- Removed members stay in the history marked “(deleted)”; inviting them again restores the same record.
- Sprints count tasks the same way on the board, in the backlog and in the report.
- The reason a task is blocked is right in the task window.
- Time on a board card is shown as a mini timeline and a single number.

Sprints: closing with a result that does not disappear
A sprint starts with one button and ends with a dialog: you see the result and choose where the unfinished work goes. The summary is recorded for good and stays in the history.
How it works · 7 rules →“When, if, then” automations with a log
Project rules decide where a new task goes and what to do with it: assign, raise the priority, fill in a field, notify. The log shows what each rule actually did.
