Overview

Related to this comment.

Problem to solve

In order to understand what is affecting the team performance, user need more information and context about how the metrics are calculated.

Proposal

  1. Add tooltips to the metrics names.
  2. The tooltip will have description about how the metric is calculated.
  3. The tooltip will have link to drill-down from each metric to a report with in-depth data.
  4. The tooltip will also have a link to the docs.
  5. Mouseover on the metric name will show the tooltip. Example from the VSA tiles tooltips:

  1. Drill-down inherent the sub-groups / projects.
  2. Out of scope - inherent labels and time period.
