Understand navigating and reviewing project activity
In this video, you will learn:
- How to compare projects based on users logged in, task status changes, and tasks completed
Transcript
Before reviewing any information on the project activity chart, best practice is to again make sure that our date range in the top right corner and any filters applied are correct. Once we confirm that, we can look at the heatmap of activity across the different projects in our system. The best project to review in Test Drives is the World Cup Sweepstakes Mailer to registered customers. Here we can see activity for users logging in across the top in purple, the task status has changed, and the tasks completed. Darker indicates more tasks being completed or more users logging in. Lighter will be less. Similar to the flight plan chart above, I can click into a project to see the specific assigned users within that project and their activity within it, or I can drag a marquee across this chart to zoom in on that specific area and gather more information.
Compare project work
The Project activity chart allows you to understand and compare project activities—users logged in, task status changes, and tasks completed—against other projects in Workfront. Project activities display in different colors to summarize the activities over a period of time.
Seeing this information helps you determine:
- The activity on a specific project.
- The activity of one project compared to other projects.
- Which users are working on a project and at what frequency.
On the chart, you can see:
- Projects names on the left.
- Dates are shown across the bottom.
- Purple boxes show that users assigned to the project logged in on that day, with a darker shade indicating a higher number of users logging in.
- Pink boxes show that users changed the status of a task for the project on that day, with a darker shade indicating a higher number of task statuses changing.
- Blue boxes show that users completed a task for the project, with a darker shade indicating a higher number of tasks being completed.
