How do I measure how long items take?

Add a duration measure to a select field. Teamhood then measures how long each item spends between the start values and the end values you choose, such as from In Progress to Completed.

Open in Teamhood

Add a measure

You need permission to edit fields.

1. In Settings → Organization → Fields, open a select field, such as Status.
2. Choose Measures, then Add measure.
3. Enter a Name. Two measures on one field cannot share a name.
4. Under Starts at, choose Item created, First entry or Last entry. For an entry, pick one or more values.
5. Under Ends at, choose Last entry or First entry, and pick one or more values.
6. Choose Save measure.

Status starts with two measures, Cycle time and Lead time.

Use the measure

Each measure adds three fields under its field’s history heading, such as Status history. Cycle time is the duration, and Cycle time start date and Cycle time end date are its dates. Show any of them on cards or filter by them. Tables offer the duration as a column.

A new measure also covers past items. See How duration measures work.
