Analytics for tasks =================== Each task has an analytics section available from the left menu in the task view. Lead and cycle time ------------------- ![Lead and cycle time](https://kanboard.net/screenshots/documentation/task-lead-cycle-time.png) - The lead time is the time between the task creation and the date of completion (task closed). - The cycle time is the time between the start date and the date of completion. - If the task is not closed the current time is used instead of the date of completion. - If the start date is not specified, the cycle time is not calculated. Note: You can configure an automatic action to define the start date automatically when you move a task to the column of your choice. Time spent into each column --------------------------- ![Time spent into each column](https://kanboard.net/screenshots/documentation/time-into-each-column.png) - This chart shows the total time spent into each column for the task. - The time spent is calculated until the task is closed.
