Lead time cards

Lead time cards are time-based. Time-based cards display your tasks differently. Learn more about time-based cards.

Lead time cards display how long on average it takes a task to be completed after it's created. The options chosen when creating the card determine the data reported and how it displays on your Lead time Chart.

For example, you select a Time range of This week and Group by Days and a Sample period of 2. The chart will display all tasks created this week, by days. The data points will reflect the Lead time for all of the tasks as of today and yesterday.
