Work progress reports are an invaluable tool for evaluating employee performance and productivity. Below are the reasons why such reports are necessary:
Performance Assessment: Work progress reports allow you to assess how quickly and efficiently employees complete tasks on the platform. This helps you evaluate how effectively resources and time are being utilized and identify strengths and weaknesses in each employee's performance.
Identify bottlenecks: Work speed reports help you identify bottlenecks in your workflows. If certain tasks are taking up a disproportionate amount of time or preventing other tasks from being performed more efficiently, these reports can help identify such problems and take steps to eliminate or optimize them.
Better planning: Knowing how fast employees are working helps in better resource and time planning. Based on reports, you can identify which tasks can be completed faster and which tasks require more time. This allows for more accurate allocation of tasks and resources, reducing project turnaround time and improving overall productivity.
Motivation and feedback: Speed reports can provide feedback and motivation to employees. If an employee sees that their work rate is well above average or improving over time, this can be an incentive to further develop and improve performance. For example, you can create a perks and bonus system based on workers' achievements.
Progress reports can be aggregated by Date, Project, and User. There is also a "Show Totals" checkbox.
To group data based on the date of work execution, use the "Date" cell.
For example, if a user annotates data on multiple days, say on the 28th of January and the 4th of February, the platform will initially display two separate rows of data in the report, each corresponding to the work done on each specific day. However, when the Aggregation option is applied, the platform combines the data for these two days into a single aggregated row, displaying the total values (such as total annotations, tasks completed, or other relevant metrics) for both dates.
For combining data by projects, use the "Project" cell.
Here’s how it works:
If a user worked on two or more projects on the same day, checking the "Project" checkbox will group the data for both projects together for that specific user.
Example: Let’s say User A worked on Project X and Project Y on the same day:
Without aggregating by project, you would see separate entries for each project and stage type (e.g., separate metrics for annotation or verification for Project X and Project Y).
However, with the "Project" checkbox enabled, the platform will combine the data from both projects for User A. This means you’ll see a combined total for all their activities (e.g., total work time, objects annotated or verified) across both projects for that day, simplifying the analysis.
Similarly, the "User" cell is used to combine data by user or operator.
When you check the "User" checkbox in the aggregate field, the platform will group the data according to each user's involvement in different stage types. For example, if there is only one stage of “Annotation” but there are many users contributing to this stage, the system will show the total number of objects created, total work time, and other key performance metrics for that stage. If there are multiple types of annotation stages (e.g., "BB Annotation" and "People Annotation"), the platform will display the aggregated data, grouped by respective annotation stage types.Similarly, the platform can also aggregate data for the Verification stage, whether you have one verification stage or multiple (e.g., "First Verification" and "Final Verification").The results will be grouped by users and stage types. You’ll see detailed statistics, such as the total number of verifications performed, the total verification time, and other relevant metrics for each stage type.
For aggregating data by stage type, use the "Stage Type" cell. Here’s how it works: When you aggregate data by stage type, the platform will group each user’s activity based on all the stage types they were working on during a given day.
Example: Let’s say User A worked on the Annotation stage for part of the day and worked on no other stage (as a Project Manager or in a higher role, that will show the "Stage Type" field empty) for the rest of the day: Without aggregating by stage type, you would see separate entries for the Annotation stage and for User A’s role as a Project Manager or higher. However, with the "Stage Type" checkbox enabled, the platform will combine the data for both stages into a single row for User A. This simplifies the data view by showing all activities across multiple stages for that user in one entry.
For aggregating data by stage, use the "Stage" cell. Here’s how it works: When you aggregate data by stage, the platform will group each user’s activity based on the specific stages they worked on during a given day. This works similarly to the "Stage Type" aggregation but allows for multiple instances of the same stage type.
Example: Let’s say User C worked on different stages of Annotation (e.g., Annotation of pedestrians and BB Annotation) and Verification stages on the same day: Without aggregating by stage, you would see separate entries for each distinct stage (e.g., one entry for Annotation of pedestrians, another for BB Annotation, and so on). However, with the "Stage" checkbox enabled, the platform will combine all the activities for each user working on multiple stages into a single row per stage. This means you’ll see the total information for each user across all the stages they worked on—one row for the total of Annotation stages, one row for the total of Verification stages—streamlining the data view.
To display summary data in the header of the tabular part under the column name, use the "Show Total Amounts" cell.
The progress report opens with the start time set to the 1st day of the current month by default. These platform progress reports are an essential tool for improving efficiency, planning and optimizing work processes, as well as motivating employees. They provide valuable insights that can help make informed decisions to improve productivity and achieve business success.
