The Task Execution Review dashboard enables you to analyze the efficiency of Release Tasks and understand the status of task executions. These insights can help a Release Owner investigate tasks that are contributing to delays in the Release and be better prepared to improve task efficiency and achieve greater success.
As a Release Owner, you can use this dashboard to understand the following functional scenarios:
You can use the Release Task Tag filter in the dashboard to analyze information related to specific Tags.
The Task Execution Review dashboard displays information pertaining to the last 12 months and consists of the following sections:
Displays a donut pie chart that provides information about the total number of release tasks categorized based on the category of task type represented as Manual (tasks that require user action) and Automated (tasks that are automated).
The slices and color of the pie chart represent each category and the size of the slices represent the total number of tasks. You can hover over each slice to view the percentage contribution of tasks in that category.
You can click on a particular slice to drill down and view only relevant information in all the subsequent sections.
Displays a combo chart that provides the monthly trend of tasks over the last 12 months categorized based on Manual and Automated task. The chart helps you understand if there are considerable improvements with respect to automation. The bar graph in the chart represents Automated tasks and the line graph represents Manual tasks.
This section provides information about the execution status of tasks categorized based on the various task types. Information is represented through a heat map illustrating the percentage of successful tasks in each task type. The squares of the heat map represent individual task types with the size of squares denoting the number of release tasks associated to the task type. The colors of the squares indicate the percentage of successful tasks and are grouped into buckets, such as 0%-20%, 80%-100%, and so on. Lighter color shades indicate task types with lower percentage of successful tasks and has scope for improvement.
You can select a specific task type to view more details about the associated tasks in subsequent sections.
Displays a combo chart that provides insights into the monthly trend of completed tasks in the last 12 months along with the average schedule variance for completed tasks for each month. The schedule variance is calculated as a difference between planned and actual end date of the tasks.
The chart helps you track the variance across a period, identify and investigate increased variance, and plan effectively to improve the task completion efficiency. The bar graph represents the total number of tasks completed in each month and the line graph illustrates the average variance for each month.
This section can be driven by selections made in the Task Execution Overview by Task Type section and will display only tasks relevant to the selected task type.
The values displayed in these KPIs can be driven by selections made in the Task Execution Overview by Task Type section.
This section lists all the attributes and metrics that have been used to build the reports in this dashboard.
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Release Task Tag |
Labels or keywords associated with a Release Task to classify tasks based on certain characteristics. |
| Task Type Category (Standardized) | Displays the Digital.ai standardized task type categories denoting tasks that require user actions (Manual), tasks that are automated (Automated), and tasks that serve as containers to group other types of tasks (Group). |
| Task Type | Displays the task types as defined in the source system and are used to represent work that requires user action or automated work that is accomplished by the tool. |
| Metric Name | Description | Metric Formula |
|---|---|---|
| No. of Release Tasks | Total number of Release tasks created for a specific period | Count([No of Release Tasks]) |
| Manual Tasks | Total number of Release tasks that require some user action | Count([No of Release Tasks])<[Release Task Type = MANUAL]> |
| Automated Tasks | Total number of Release tasks that are automated and do not require any user action | Count([No of Release Tasks])<[Release Task Type = AUTOMATED]> |
| Successful Tasks % | Percentage of completed Release tasks that are successfully executed. | Count([No of Release Tasks]) <[Release Task Successful Flag = Y]> |
| Avg Schedule Variance (Days) | Average variance in schedule for all Completed tasks calculated as the time difference between actual duration and planned duration. | [IF(([Release Task Actual Duration - Completed] > [Release Task Planned Duration - Completed]),(([Release Task Actual Duration - Completed] - [Release Task Planned Duration - Completed]) / 86400),0)] / [No of Completed Release Tasks] |
| Completed Tasks | Total number of completed tasks. | Count(No of Completed Release Tasks) |
| Failed Task | Total number of tasks whose status is Failed. | Count([No of Release Tasks])<[Release Task Status = FAILED]> |
| Skipped Task | Total number of completed Release tasks whose status is Skipped. | Count([No of Completed Release Tasks])<[Release Task Status = SKIPPED]> |
| Pending Task | Total number of tasks that are planned and whose status is not in Completed, Aborted, or Skipped. | Count([No of Release Tasks])<[Release Task Status Not in list (COMPLETED, ABORTED, SKIPPED)]> |
| Overdue Task | Total number of tasks that are past their planned end date. | Count([No of Release Tasks])<[Release Task Overdue = Y]> |
| Flagged Task | Total number of tasks that are either at risk or require attention. | Count([No of Release Tasks])<[Release Task Flag Status <> OK]> |
