How to Track Median Project Time in Status by Board Using Time in Status?
Median Time in Status is key to understanding your real project time and identifying hidden blockers in your workflow.
With SaaSJet’s Time in Status add-on for http://monday.com , you’ll finally gain real visibility into your project time by seeing how long items truly spend in each phase of your process. This tool gives teams a clear, structured way to track progress, improve task flow, and learn how to identify workflow bottlenecks – all without complex setups or code.
Forget assumptions. Real performance insights start with real data.
✅ Before You Start
To make the most of Time in Status, make sure you’ve completed a simple setup:
Installed and activated the Time in Status app from the http://monday.com marketplace
Created a dashboard gadget using a chart view
These are essential for capturing and visualizing workflow status metrics across your boards.
Step 1: Select the Chart Type
From your monday dashboard, create a new gadget and select the Bar chart. It’s perfect for teams that want to view item time in each status and compare data across multiple boards or departments.
Whether you’re managing one team or five, visualizing how long tasks spend in each stage is the first step toward optimizing project time.
Step 2: Configure the X-axis and Y-axis
Next, configure the chart settings:
X-axis → Board (or another field): Segment your data by project, team, or workflow
Y-axis → Choose Median to display the typical time tasks stay in each status
You can also filter by date ranges, statuses, or people to dive even deeper. This flexibility makes Time in Status a strong addition to any monday analytics stack.
Step 3: Generate the Chart
Once set up, your chart will auto-generate. Every bar shows the median item time spent in each workflow status – across all selected boards. This gives you a reliable baseline of how efficiently your teams are working.
And because the median filters out outliers, your insights won’t be skewed by tasks that sat idle for weeks.
Step 4: Analyze the Results
Use the chart to:
✅ Identify boards with longer times in specific statuses
✅ Spot process delays and task stagnation
✅ Compare performance across teams and projects
✅ Reveal workflow inefficiencies and areas for improvement
This is how you identify workflow bottlenecks with real data, not assumptions.
Why Use Median Instead of Average?
Simple: Averages lie when your data includes extremes. If one task spent 90 days in “Waiting for Review,” it could distort the average – making your entire project time look worse than it is.
Median shows the real middle – what most items experience – making it a more stable metric for decision-making and monday analytics reporting.
Apply to Other Fields Too
You’re not limited to viewing item time by board. The X-axis can be customized to display time metrics by:
Assignee
Group
Priority
Any custom field you use
Just adjust the configuration, and your chart becomes a lens into workflow status performance from any angle
