<\/a>Overview<\/p>\n

Card Aging in Nimble’s Work Hub provides a valuable mechanism for monitoring and optimizing task completion times. The Card Aging represents the time required to complete tasks or cards, such as user stories, technical stories, features, epics, and more, within the context of your Work Hub. Card Aging measures the time elapsed from when a card is created and pushed to a specific column and lane on the Work Hub. It provides valuable insights into process efficiency and serves as a key performance indicator for project managers. Card Aging for a card is recorded based on the time it spends in a particular column\/lane. This is calculated as the number of days or hours a card remains in a column, measured from the Entry Date when the card enters the column to the Exit Date when it leaves the column.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Navigation<\/h2>\n

Navigate to the breadcrumb at the top and hover over the Project name, expand the\u00a0Execute<\/strong> module, and select Work Hub<\/strong>. <\/b>Click on the Board Editor<\/strong>\u00a0icon on the required lane in the\u00a0<\/a>Work Hub. Else, go to\u00a0More Options,\u00a0<\/b>and enable the toggle Show Card Aging<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/a> You can easily hide\/unhide Card Aging using the toggle option.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Setting Card Aging for Cards<\/h2>\n

To set Card Aging for cards within a specific lane:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the board editor, select the desired lane. Click on the Lane Settings<\/strong> icon within that lane.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the Card Aging<\/strong> section and click the insert<\/strong> button to add a new row, or press the “Insert” button on Windows, or “option + return” on Mac.
    \nNote:<\/strong> By default, the setting applies to all card types, and it will be selected as \u201cDefault\u201d. In the Card Aging section, define two thresholds and a maximum value in hours, days, or weeks for the column.<\/li>\n
  3. In the Card Aging section, define two thresholds and a maximum value in hours, days, or weeks for the column.<\/li>\n
  4. If you want to edit the row, simply click on it. You will instantly enter edit mode to update the fields, and you can save the changes by clicking outside.\"Card<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Toggle the Show Card Aging<\/strong> option under More Options<\/strong> on the Work Hub.<\/li>\n
  6. Now, the Work Hub highlights the current status of the cards in a horizontal line based on the thresholds. Any card under threshold 1 is shown in green, between threshold 1 and 2 in orange, and beyond threshold 2 in red.
    \nFor example, if Threshold 1 was set to 10 hours, Threshold 2 to 15 hours, and the Max Value to 25 hours, the Card Aging bar on the card will display as follows: Green (40% of the bar), Amber (20% of the bar) and Red (40% of the bar). Similarly, you can set other lanes as well on the Work Hub.

    <\/a>Setting Card Aging for Columns<\/h2>\n

    Setting Card Aging for columns follows a similar process:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. In the board editor, select the desired column. Click on the Configure Column<\/strong> under More Options<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Follow the same steps as outlined in the “Setting Card Aging for Cards” section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
