Highlights and heatmaps

Make the numbers that matter stand out. Open a value’s settings (its chip, or ⋯ in its column heading) and use Highlight cells:

Above or below a threshold

Choose Above or Below, a number and a colour:

• Red for a problem, e.g. load above 100%
• Amber for a warning
• Green for good, e.g. % done above 90

The threshold is in the units you see: hours for time, percent for ratios. Highlighted cells get a coloured edge as well as a tint, and hovering shows the rule, so colour is never the only cue.

Shade by size

Shade by size turns the value into a heatmap: one blue, light for the smallest values and dark for the largest, in five steps.

• Each row level is shaded on its own scale, so epic subtotals are compared with other epics, not with the stories under them.
• Totals aren’t shaded.
• The number stays in every cell.

Highlights and shading print and save to PDF too.
