Insights
The Insights tab brings delivery, quality, cost, and cadence together in one place. Every metric shows a current value, a trend vs. the prior period, and a sample-size badge — so a number is never read without context.
Opening the tab
Open any project in the dashboard and click the Insights tab. The tab sits between Report and Activity in the tab bar.
The time-range selector
A single selector at the top of the page (7d, 30d, 90d, All time) drives every chart and every sample-size count on the page. The choice is reflected in the URL (?range=30d) — share the link and your teammate sees the same window.
Sections
The page is organized into three collapsible sections — Delivery, Quality & flow, and Cost & cadence. Each section has its own data, loads independently, and shows a quiet “No data” placeholder if a chart hasn’t seen any signals yet.
Delivery
“Is the plan on track?” — schedule and throughput charts:
Quality & flow
“Is delivery healthy?” — engineering-process signals:
0-1h / 1-4h / 4-24h / 1-3d / >3d). Median and p90 render below the bars.Cost & cadence
“What’s it costing, how often do you ship?“
Reading the metric header
Every chart shares the same header layout:
- Metric name
- Current value — e.g.
87%,3.2h,$1.4K. - Trend arrow —
↑/↓/→vs. the prior same-length window. Color reflects the metric’s axis — green when the metric improved, red when it worsened. - Sample-size badge — e.g.
n=42 runs in 7d. Color tells you whether the sample is large enough to trust:- Green: above the minimum.
- Amber: below the minimum — read with caution.
- Muted: no data yet.
When a metric is below its minimum sample size, Plenar renders a short “need ≥ N” placeholder instead of a misleading chart. The minimums are deliberately conservative (≥ 3 deploys for deploy frequency, ≥ 5 tasks for estimate accuracy, ≥ 10 runs for CI pass rate) so the distribution shape has a chance to settle before you trust it.
Clicking into the signals behind a chart
Most signal-based charts open a filtered list when you click a data point:
| Click on | Shows |
|---|---|
| CI pass-rate point | CI runs in that week |
| Deploy-frequency bar | Deploys in that week |
| Change-failure-rate point | Deploys in that week |
| MTTR bar | The deploys on either side of that incident |
| PR review latency bar | Pull requests opened in the window |
| Environment chip | Deploys in that environment |
The filtered list appears in the shared side panel on the right — no navigation required. Each row surfaces the status, environment, commit SHA, and source of the signal.
Environment split
For deploys, change failure rate, and MTTR, a row of environment chips above each chart shows the per-environment breakdown (production 12 / staging 4 / etc.). Click a chip to open the filtered list for that environment.
Collapsible sections
Each section’s heading is clickable — click once to collapse, click again to expand. The collapse state is remembered per user in your browser, so the tab opens the way you left it.
What to do next
- Track progress with Claude Code — the daily workflow that produces the delivery and quality signals behind these charts.
- Read your reports — the narrative companion to Insights, summarizing where the plan stands.
- Goal health — how target dates and ETAs drive the On Track / At Risk states you see on the Delivery charts.
- Manage your plan — act on what the charts surface by reshaping the schedule.
