About kanban reports
Like Sprint reports, Kanban reports enable you to assess the progress of the items on the kanban board in a quantitative manner using the data on your board. Each report is based on various parameters, providing insightful information that will enable the team to make predictions, take corrective measures, identify hold-ups, and get better at estimating accurately.
There are various reports available for specific modules.
- Kanban reports
- Timesheet report
- Epic reports
- Release reports
Difference between dashboards and reports
Although dashboards and reports seem to be similar kinds of business tools, they differ in their data models. The reports in Zoho Sprints are based on established principles of data analysis that are prevalent in the agile and scrum based industries. The parameters used to report are well-curated to give predictions with near-precision and help track specific dynamics of the project to make projection and realign the project and sprint process to the goals. Dashboard provides a high-level perspective, whereas report are based on more intricate details.
