Insights is the analytics layer of Teamline.


It gives teams and managers a clear, data-driven view of execution, based on real work, real updates, and automated reports.

While Timeline focuses on what is happening now, Insights answers the question:

How is the team performing over time - and where attention is needed?

Insights turns daily activity into structured, actionable information.


Why Insights exists

As teams scale, visibility becomes fragmented:

  • Updates exist, but they are scattered across chats and reports

  • Workload issues are noticed too late

  • Time tracking data is inconsistent or manual

  • Survey results are hard to analyze historically

Insights exists to centralize all execution signals in one place - without relying on spreadsheets or manual reporting.

It helps teams:

  • Understand workload and capacity

  • Track delivery health

  • Analyze trends instead of snapshots

  • Make decisions based on data, not assumptions


How Insights is structured

The Insights tab contains three internal sections:

  • Task Details

  • Timesheets

  • Survey History

Each focuses on a different layer of team execution.


Task Details

Task Details provides a people-centric view of execution based on JIRA data.

Here you can see, per team member:

  • Active tasks

  • Active projects

  • Planned workload vs capacity

  • Tasks approaching deadlines

  • At-risk indicators

  • Throughput (delivery pace)

This view helps answer:

  • Who is overloaded?

  • Who has capacity?

  • Where are risks accumulating?

  • How stable is delivery over time?

Task Details is especially useful for:

  • Team leads

  • Engineering managers

  • Delivery managers

  • Product owners


Timesheets

The Timesheets tab shows automatically generated timesheets, built from time-tracking reports.

Instead of manual entries:

  • Time is collected via automated reports

  • Data is structured and aggregated by Teamline

  • Timesheets reflect real activity

Timesheets can be:

  • Reviewed directly in Teamline

  • Exported for reporting or accounting purposes

This reduces friction around time tracking and improves accuracy.


Survey History

Survey History is the archive of all report results.

It includes:

  • Standups

  • Check-ins

  • Planning rounds

  • Surveys

  • Any other automated reports

Here you can:

  • Browse historical responses

  • Filter results by report, date, or participant

  • Download data in PDF or XLS formats

Survey History allows teams to:

  • Analyze trends over time

  • Review past decisions and signals

  • Maintain transparency and traceability


What Insights helps teams achieve

With Insights, teams gain:

  • A single source of execution analytics

  • Clear visibility into workload and performance

  • Reliable timesheets without manual effort

  • Historical data for retrospectives and planning

  • Confidence in decisions backed by real data

Insights turns daily automation into long-term operational intelligence - helping teams improve not just speed, but predictability and focus.
