Available on Pinnacle plans.
In Wrike, you can use dashboards to track a variety of metrics, which helps you better understand your team's performance and project progress. This guide will help you monitor key metrics, including task counts, durations, performance, approvals, effort, financials, team metrics, and workflow transitions, all through the use of dashboards.
To gain deeper insights into your custom values within items, you can incorporate numeric, formula or duration custom fields as key metrics, allowing for more precise tracking and analysis of these data points.
Note
When used in aggregated widgets, Formula Custom Fields with values calculated in Days can only be displayed in hours.

Additionally, you can slice by historical status date if using (average/total/max) time spent in status metrics.
For the status change metric, you can use the following dimensions:
-
Status change date
-
Status (before change)
-
Status (after change)
-
Status group (before change)
-
Status group (after change)
