Metrics
Your Personal Command Centre
Think of the Metrics page as your daily launchpad. It’s not just about looking at graphs; it’s about getting a snapshot of your entire workspace in one place.
This is where you start your day to see what’s due, what’s coming up, and how effectively you (and your team) are working. It combines your immediate schedule with high-level insights, so you can spot bottlenecks before they happen.
Inside Metrics:
| Feature | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Recent Jams | A quick-access history of the Jams you’ve visited or contributed to lately, letting you jump straight back into the conversation. |
| Calendar | A visual view of your schedule, integrated with your work calendar so you can see your blocked time versus free time. |
| Topic Completion | A progress tracker showing how many Jam topics have been resolved versus those still pending, giving you a clear view of project velocity. |
| Productivity Trends | A longitudinal view of your work habits, helping you spot if you are spending too much time in calls vs. deep work. |
| Engagement Overview | A reflection of the Sentiment you and your team have nominated across Jams, acting as a “mood ring” for your projects. |
| Upcoming Deadlines | A prioritized list of Tasks assigned to you that are due soon, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. |
| Upcoming Events | A specific list of your upcoming scheduled Calls, so you know exactly when you need to be “camera ready.” |
| Notifications | Your alert stream for mentions, task assignments, and Jam updates, centralised in one view. |
