Effort, repeat work, close speed, and delay from one record

Effort: time written on the card. Repeat: how often the same work reopened. Close speed: created to done. Delay: days past due. All of it lives on the task. There is no fourth “report truth.” Ontra’s home screen also derives queue, late work, unassigned cards, work with no due date, and opens older than thirty days from these numbers. The health score comes with factors; it is card math, not a green slide.

An Excel copy makes you argue about the number. “This column is stale” stops the work. Export only if a client demands their format. Inside, the live list is enough. `reports.read` is fine-grained; not every member needs holding totals. A company filter opens the report per client. Management totals are a separate view.

The weekly “why are we late” tour ends when you open the delay list. Nobody defends a guess; you talk about the card’s date. “Almost done” is invalid if it is not on the report. Project tracking percent comes from cards bound to features. Team effort is computed from the live list; there is no second timesheet truth. A timesheet as a second record scatters again — the duration field on the task is enough.

The shame of reopening is not written on a person. Marking the same card “done” three times is a sign that acceptance criteria are missing. The sentence “why it came back” is written on the card. That is not quality theatre; it is queue math. Aging work (older than thirty days) drops home health. So does an unassigned card. So does work with no due date. Factors are not hidden; the reason for the score sits on the report.

Effort and close speed break down by person; the aim is not punishment, it is seeing load. A pile of opens on one person may be an assignment miss, not slowness. The report makes that speakable. A team that hunts people starts hiding the number: dates go unwritten, effort is left blank, cards close early. Discipline is filling the record, not the penalty. A full record makes a fair comparison possible.

Monday: delay and queue. That is the stand-up agenda. Wednesday: repeats and close speed. Process holes become visible. Friday: effort and project tracking. The week closes without a slide. Month-end: the goal. The number the sprints collected says whether the sentence held. This calendar is not sacred; a day without a report is sacred — that is the day work goes blind.

Monday delay and queue. Wednesday repeats and close speed. Friday effort and project tracking. Month-end the goal. This calendar is not sacred; a day without a report blinds the work. Home joins queue, late, unassigned, undated, and opens older than thirty days. Health score comes with factors; it is not a green slide. `reports.read` is fine-grained. Holding totals do not have to be open to every member.

Effort is time written on the card. A separate timesheet is a second record and scatters. Repeat is the work reopening; shame is written on acceptance, not the person. Close speed is queue age, not goodwill. Delay is days past due. There is no fourth report truth. Excel leaves only if a client demands their format. Inside, the live list is enough. The meeting ends when the report opens; restating visible drift wastes time.

A per-person break shows load. A pile of opens may be an assignment miss. A team that fines hides dates and effort: cards close early, duration stays blank. Discipline is filling. A full record makes comparison fair. A company filter answers “this client’s effort” without switching accounts. Management totals are a separate view; the content tree does not open there.

Monday queue and delay. Wednesday repeats and speed. Friday effort and tracking. Month-end the goal. A day without a report blinds. Home joins queue, late, unassigned, undated, thirty-day opens. The score has factors; it is not a green slide. reports.read is fine-grained. Holding totals need not be open to every member.

Effort is duration on the card. A timesheet is a second record. Repeat shame is written on acceptance. Close speed is queue age. Delay is days past due. There is no fourth report truth. Excel only if a client demands their format. The meeting ends when the report opens. A per-person break shows load, it does not fine. Fines birth hiding: early-closed cards, blank duration.

A company filter answers this client’s effort without switching accounts. Management totals are a separate view. The content tree does not open there. Talk the card’s date, not a guess. Almost done does not exist if it is not on the report.

Write this calendar in month one and do not drift. Three weeks later stand-up shortens because the agenda is the list. If it does not, the record is still empty: dates unwritten, effort blank, acceptance missing. Finish the ritual, not the tool.

Marking the same card “done” three times is a process miss, not a personal one. Ontra shows the repeat count; the sentence “why it came back” is written on the card.
