Reports and sprint
Working hours, budgets and the sprint cadence.
The Reports and sprint tab tells Limn how the current workspace works: when the team is at work, how long each kind of wait should take, and how long a sprint is. Reports and Chronology measure against these settings. Every setting here applies to this workspace only; other workspaces set their own.
#Working hours and budgets
Chronology counts only the hours your team works, and holds each wait against a budget. Nights, weekends and days off are not counted as waiting. See Chronology.
Working hours
- Time zone: the team’s time zone.
- The start and end of the working day. The default is 09:00 to 18:00.
- The working days. The default is Monday to Friday. Pick at least one.
Budgets
Each wait has two sliders: Good and Acceptable, in working hours. A wait at or under Good is within budget; over Acceptable it is slow. Acceptable cannot be tighter than Good.
| Wait | Good | Acceptable |
|---|---|---|
| First look | 4h | 8h |
| Reply to review | 8h | 16h |
| Approved to merged | 1h | 4h |
| Opened to merged | 8h | 16h |
The first-look default follows published review guidance that a first response should take at most one working day. Select Reset to defaults to go back to these values, then Save.
#Sprint cadence and comparison window
Sprint length
Choose 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, Custom… (a number of days), or No sprint — this workspace doesn’t run one. A sprint length needs a Start date: any day one of this workspace’s sprints began. The cadence rolls forwards and backwards from it, so it sets where the boundaries fall, not when history starts.
The sprint length sets this workspace’s Reports periods and its “Sprint to date”. With no sprint, Reports cannot build sprint periods and uses rolling 14 days instead.
Comparison window
The window Reports measures, for the flow figures, activity and reach by repository, and Chronology:
- Rolling 14 days (default): the last 14 days against the 14 before. Always a full window; best if the workspace does not run fixed sprints.
- Rolling 7 days: the last 7 days against the 7 before. A tighter, quicker read.
- Sprint position (like-for-like): this sprint so far against the same point in the previous sprint (day 3 against day 3). With no sprint length it falls back to rolling 14 days.
Open pull requests and red checks count what is open right now, so the window does not change them. See The reporting window.
