Generating Reports

[Your Product Name] offers pre-built report templates for common use cases, such as:

Project Performance Reports: These reports provide an overview of how a specific project is progressing, highlighting completed tasks, pending tasks, and any delays.
Team Productivity Reports: These reports show how individual team members are performing in terms of task completion, time management, and productivity levels.
Task Overview Reports: This report provides a breakdown of tasks across projects, indicating which tasks are on track, overdue, or completed.

To generate a report, select the relevant template and customize the parameters, such as the time period, team members, or project you want to analyze. Once you’ve set the parameters, click "Generate Report", and the platform will create a detailed PDF or CSV report.

Analyzing Data and Identifying Trends

Once you have your report, it’s time to dig into the data. Look for patterns or trends that can inform your decision-making. For example:

Delays in Task Completion: Are tasks consistently running late? This could indicate bottlenecks in certain stages of your workflow.
Team Performance: Are certain team members consistently finishing tasks ahead of schedule, while others fall behind? This could highlight areas for improvement or indicate that some team members are overburdened.

By regularly reviewing analytics and reports, you’ll have the data needed to make informed decisions about resource allocation, process improvements, and team assignments.
