Concepts

The ideas behind Everview: sprints, flow, and objectives.

Capacity and Availability

Capacity is how many points your team can realistically complete this iteration, after subtracting PTO and holidays.

What Is Delivery Confidence?

Delivery Confidence is a forecasted percentage chance that a team's capacity will cover everything planned for an upcoming sprint.

Spotting Delivery Bottlenecks with Operation View

Combine Operation View's engineering metrics with sprint execution data to find systemic delivery bottlenecks, not just one-off bad sprints.

Dependency Status: Violated, Tight, Constrained, Safe

Every blocking dependency between tasks has a computed health status — Violated, Tight, Constrained, or Safe — based on schedule slack.

Understanding the Execution Hierarchy

The execution hierarchy is your organization's configurable set of levels, down to tasks, that connected provider items map onto.

What Momentum Tells You About a Sprint

Momentum shows how heavily loaded a sprint is right now, from Idle through Overdrive, based on remaining work versus capacity.

What Operation View Shows You

Operation View shows delivery health for an iteration: pull request buckets, the four DORA signals including time to restore, and lines of code changed.

Reading Everview's Charts

Everview uses four chart types — donut, bar, line, and streamgraph — each suited to a different kind of question about your data.

Understanding Repository Health

Repository health tracks open PR count, CI success rate, and security alerts for each repository connected to a workstream.

What Is the Say-Do Ratio?

The Say-Do Ratio is the percentage of committed story points your team actually completed in an iteration.

Spillover and Carry-Over

Work that isn't done when its sprint closes is spillover — Everview tracks it per task, and as a per-sprint rate you can trend.

Sprint Results: Exceeded, Success, Partial Success, Failure

Sprint Results classify a finished iteration's outcome into one of four categories, from Exceeded down to Failure.

Task Status Circles: Deadline, Blocked, Slack, and Spillover

Small colored circles above a task card's top-left corner surface schedule and flow signals — hover any circle to see the shortest reason it's there.

What Track View Shows You

Track View is a racetrack showing a sprint's progress against its schedule and, now, whether the committed work fits the team's capacity — overloaded sprints stretch the finish, underused ones fall short of it.

Understanding Objectives and Metrics

Objectives are organization-level goals; Metrics are the measurable targets tied to them, and both can link to the projects delivering them.

What Is Velocity?

Velocity is your team's average completed story points per sprint, rolled over the last six iterations.
