Color-coding issue types in a tracking process can significantly improve the efficiency and clarity of the process. It allows for quick visual identification of different types of issues, which can speed up the process of sorting and prioritizing tasks. It can also help in identifying patterns or trends, such as a recurring type of issue. This can lead to insights about where the team or project may need to focus more attention or resources. Furthermore, color-coding can enhance the visual appeal of the tracking tool, making it more user-friendly and encouraging more consistent use.

An alternative visualization to kanban is a Gantt chart. Gantt charts visually track the progress of your workflow across time, not just across stages, to assess how long each issue takes across each stage. In our Issue Tracker template, each issue type is color-coded, and type names are editable in the Fields tab. As team members make progress on their individual issues, they can edit the progress bars of the active stage by changing the percent to completion next to the bar. This provides accountability for the whole team, so progress is made (and documented) on active tickets in real time.

Have you ever wanted to run a project like Elon Musk? What about the ability to predict a project’s success like a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs? Here are the ultimate project management tools to ensure success from the very start. You’ll gain how to calculate a project's IRR, conduct Monte-Carlo analysis to evaluate risk, manage teams with RACI matrix, present a project charter, track progress with dashboards and Gantt charts, and do it all again, but better, with a post mortem survey.
How can you set goals to manage time and communicate plans to your team and collaborators effectively? Develop an action plan that’s unique to your projects and adaptable to changing conditions. Our Action Plan collection, which you can download and customize for any industry, provides detailed slides with the tools to realize your goals into concrete results.
Productivity a problem? Use our To Do List Spreadsheet collection for a series of to-do lists and dashboards to manage projects across weekly, monthly, or subtask views. Manage personal to-dos by type, status, and due date. Track progress across individual tasks with a status to-do list. Since the most important element of any to-do list is to prioritize tasks, the Priority list divides to-dos by their importance. To track daily task accomplishments, use the daily log that accumulates progress toward daily, weekly, or monthly frequency goals.
Need a project plan that actually hits its target? Use our project plan template to address the key components that make a project successful from inception to completion. Visualize your project scope to start with, propose a realistic timeline, evaluate available resources, structure a timely implementation plan, and prepare for any potential risks.
Need better visualizations to analyze and report top KPIs? Use these KPI Charts to input up to a million rows of raw data. Then filter a subset to view and the board automatically generate premade charts to visualize the data for reports and analysis. This could be sales data, bug or issues data, a project to-do list, features to implement, or even stock market analysis. Rename and customize up to two date ranges, two numeric values, and five drop-down values to filter and compare against each other. Then create beautiful KPI charts for analysis and reports.
Achieve your project deliverables and track your progress with our Project Management Toolbox. Designed to be used by both Project Managers and team members, this deck includes all the tables, graphs, timelines, and Gantt charts you need.
Need to complete projects on time, every time? Use our Project Plan spreadsheet to triage tasks, define risks, and manage timelines with kanban or agile visualizations. Define the scope of a project with a project charter and list important team members with a stakeholder register.
