Number of New Tasks

Count of your pending tasks.

An easy but interesting KPI to have. It simply keeps count of the tasks that are pending in your department, as a kind of modern agenda. But it’s always relieving to mark them as done. This KPI is often used for the development department because they usually have a bunch of small - or more relevant - tasks to be done here and there. Having an overview of how your day is going to look like can help you organize your time more efficiently. It’s also a good indicator for a manager to know how busy - or relaxed - are the different departments. Having this overview, one can temporarily allocate more resources into one department, or pass some work to the least stressed ones.
