What Is the Purpose of this Chart?

The source data contains all of the data that is available to ActionableAgile. If a chart shows you something unexpected, this is the first place to look. You can see if the chart is rendering this data correctly. If it is but there is still a problem, then we can look and see if there is something wrong with the data transfer from your data source.

We may ask you for your source data to support you with a support issue. If we do, you can remove all unneeded, identifying data to protect your PI.

Decreasing Date errors

To properly analyze flow, you can't have a date in one column that is later than any dates in columns to the right of it in the workflow. In other words, when you move a card backwards, the date in the column it left is removed. It gets a new date when it goes back into that column.

Want to know more about backward flow? Read here for more details.

When importing files, removing long-form text fields will reduce the number of potential formatting issues you may encounter and long-form text isn't really applicable in ActionableAgile.
