NEW Real-World Data Collection and Expert Annotation Services by HumanSignal

Throughput dashboard

Track how quickly work is moving through a project and where bottlenecks are forming.

The Throughput dashboard shows project velocity over time. Use it to monitor completed work, remaining work, and the time spent annotating and reviewing tasks.

For data quality-focused metrics, see the Data quality dashboard. For member-level productivity and agreement, see the Members dashboard.

Access the dashboard

From the project, open the Dashboard tab and select Throughput from the dashboard navigation.

Filter by date range

Use the date range filter to update the KPI cards and charts for the selected time period.

If you include a precise time, the dashboard uses that timestamp when determining which task and work events fall within the range.

KPI cards

The top of the dashboard shows summary cards for the selected date range.

KPI Description
Tasks Done Number of tasks that reached the Done state during the selected date range.

Avg Tasks Done / Day sub-metric shows the average number of tasks completed per day in the selected date range. Calculated as Tasks Done / Days.
Annotations Submitted Total number of annotations submitted (manually or created from a prediction) during the selected date range.

Annotations / Day sub-metric shows the average number of annotations submitted per day in the selected date range. Calculated as Annotations Submitted / Days.
Total Time Spent Total time spent annotating and reviewing. Note: Annotation time uses active annotation time, as opposed to lead time.

The sub-metric shows the Total Time Spent on Done Tasks.
Avg Time / Task Average active time spent per task that has started work (ie. past the initial stage). Calculated as Total Time Spent / Tasks Started.

The sub-metric shows the Total Time Spent on Done Tasks / Tasks Done.

note

Task state metrics are based on project and task state management. If state tracking was enabled after some project work had already happened, earlier state transitions might not appear in the dashboard.

Throughput charts

Chart Description
Tasks by State Stacked bar chart of the number of tasks in each state (Initial, Annotating, Needs Review, In Review, Done) over time. Use it to track task progress or identify bottlenecks.

Tasks start at the Initial state when they have been created but contain no annotations yet. Tasks that have completed the required number of annotations either move to the Needs Review or Done state, depending on whether your project settings require a review on the task. Learn more about task state management.
Tasks Done / Day Number of tasks reaching the Done state per day. The same task may appear on multiple days if it is re-worked after reaching Done. Use it to track velocity and spot output changes after adjusting staffing, task instructions, review requirements, or project settings.
Time Spent Time spent over the selected period, split between annotation and review. Use it to understand how effort is distributed across work types over time.
