    Outright best reporting tool. We have tried many different ones over the past 2 years, and none of them beats Screenful. The ability to build custom reports provides amazing capabilities for agile teams.

    Using visual boards without metrics misses the whole point of improving performance. Screenful is a must have tool for our Kanban.

    Screenful is a wonderful visualization tool that I use to illustrate to organizations why they should relentlessly focus on reducing lead time & cycle time, understand cumulative flow and decompose work.

Is there a way to remove outliers from the data?

If you want to exclude individual items from the metrics, you can do it by following the steps below

  1. Set a specific label or tag (e.g. "excluded") to the item you want to exclude (task, issue, user story etc.)

  2. Go to Screenful and reset the data source in the Data sync options

  3. Go to the chart in question and set a filter (e.g. label is none of 'excluded')

If the item is already archived, you have to unarchive it first. Then apply the steps 1-2. After that, you can archive it again.

Does this support my specific workflow or do I have to use some specific states like "open", "in progress" and "done"?

You are not limited to any specific set of states or a workflow. You can configure your own workflow, if such exists, and you can use that in your reporting. It's also ok if you don't have any workflow in your boards, as can create reports based on any other criteria by setting a filter.

How often is data updated?

All data sources are synced automatically once per hour. Changing settings or configuration will trigger additional sync so your data is at most one hour old. You can sync data manually at any time in the sync settings.

Troubleshooting

The number of items in Screenful does not match what I see in GitLab

Screenful connects to the GitLab board, not a project or group, so the first thing would be to check that the missing issues or pull requests are visible on that board.
