Workload
"Who's maxed out, and is it volume or complexity?"Queue load by team member, by intensity
PHASE 1Each block is one open project, sized by level of effort. The red marker is the agreed weekly capacity line.
Projects by week
PHASE 1Requests submitted vs. completed. The gap is the backlog.
Projects by deliverable type
PHASE 1Open work only. Shows which kind of work is piling up.
Requests by department
PHASE 1Who is asking marketing for work, and how much of it lands as high priority.
| Department | Open | High | Avg days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade show / events | 21 | 9 | 9.1 |
| Membership | 15 | 4 | 13.8 |
| Education | 12 | 3 | 11.2 |
| Government affairs | 11 | 5 | 15.6 |
| Executive | 9 | 6 | 7.4 |
Priorities & due dates
"What has to move first, and what is already late?"High priority by month
PHASE 1Priority is set from the Business Impact field at intake.
Medium priority by month
PHASE 1Same visual, priority toggle. One build, two views — keeps cost down.
Past due by owner
PHASE 1Jillian asked for this twice in scoping. It was missing from the metric list.
On-time completion rate: 78%
Rolling 90 days, completed work only.
Due in the next 7 days
PHASE 1The team's own planning view. Sorted by due date, then priority.
| Project | Owner | Deliverable | Requested by | Priority | Effort | Due | Days in queue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual meeting registration flyer | Hannah B. | Events | HIGH | Heavy | Today | 19 | |
| Member renewal email — June wave | Alexis R. | Membership | HIGH | Moderate | Jul 21 | 6 | |
| Advocacy one-pager refresh | Priya N. | Gov affairs | MEDIUM | Light | Jul 22 | 24 | |
| Booth sales landing page | Marcus T. | Web | Events | HIGH | Heavy | Jul 23 | 11 |
| Education session promo reel | Devon L. | Video | Education | MEDIUM | Heavy | Jul 24 | 8 |
| New product launch social set | Hannah B. | Social | Executive | HIGH | Moderate | Jul 25 | 3 |
| Sponsor thank-you postcard | Alexis R. | Events | LOW | Light | Jul 26 | 31 |
Flow & queue time
"Is work slow because people are busy, or because it's stuck?"How long work sits in a queue
PHASE 1Age of currently open projects, per owner.
Where work is sitting
PHASE 1Open projects by stage, with average days held at that stage.
Longest hold: Design, 8.4 days average.
Blocked on missing assets
PHASE 1Jillian: projects "get queued and sit there because design doesn't have everything they need."
| Project | Missing | Days idle |
|---|---|---|
| Sponsor prospectus | Logos | 21 |
| Chapter recruitment kit | Copy approval | 17 |
| Safety standard explainer | Reference files | 14 |
| Member spotlight — Q3 | Photos | 12 |
| Regional event banner | Logos | 9 |
| Training course flyer | Copy approval | 6 |
| Committee recap graphic | Reference files | 4 |
Intake exceptions
PHASE 1Form submissions that never became a Planner task. Without this, the numbers above quietly understate the real workload.
| Submitted | Requester | Failure | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 17 09:12 | K. Ruiz | Attachment over size limit | FAILED |
| Jul 16 14:48 | T. Nowak | Flow throttled — sync limit | FAILED |
| Jul 15 11:03 | M. Ellis | Required field empty (Due Date) | FAILED |
| Jul 14 16:31 | D. Frank | Assignee not licensed | FAILED |
| Jul 12 08:55 | K. Ruiz | Duplicate submission | RESOLVED |
Completed this period
PHASE 2The positive-reinforcement view — what the team actually shipped. Build after Phase 1 is stable.
81 projects delivered in the last 90 days, 63 of them on time.
Build notes for the working session
- Sample data. Every visual on this page needs 60–90 days of records to look right. Jaz to submit through the live form so the Power Automate path is exercised end to end, including a handful of deliberate failures for the intake exceptions table.
- Status history is the one real dependency. "Days in queue," "where work is sitting," and "days idle" all need a status-change history table in Dataverse. Planner alone does not keep this. If it isn't captured now, those three visuals cannot be backfilled later.
- Capacity line is a business input, not a calculation. Jillian sets the points-per-week target per role. Without it, the queue load chart shows volume but not overload.
- Level of Effort must be required at intake. Blank values silently drop projects out of the intensity view.
- Phase 2, out of scope for this build: Google Analytics, Mailchimp, SurveyMonkey and finance metrics on a combined organizational KPI page.
