Note: Your access to specific reporting capabilities will depend on your plan. Below is an overview of all available reports.

Reports provide built-in dashboards that help you better understand how your product team operates. With Reports, you get an overview of where your team spends the most time, so you know what to focus your efforts on as a team.

Using Reports, your company can become more customer-centric, prioritize what's most important for your customers, and increase team alignment.
