Map your Trello workflow

When importing a Trello board as a data source, your board columns are automatically mapped to either Not started, In progress, or Done. This information is used when calculating the Timing metrics.

If the suggested mapping looks correct, you can accept it by clicking Looks good to me. To make changes, click Adjust mapping. The boxes become editable, and you can drag & drop items between them.

  • Not started = Work to be done

  • In progress = Work started but not completed

  • Done = Completed work

Consider your work done only when tasks are fully done, so map your testing/review/waiting states to In progress rather than Done. That provides you with a better picture of your cycle times, including all the reviews that need to be done before a task is complete.
