Kaamfu’s new Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) changes the way teams measure progress between item groups. With neat color schemes, better layout, and essential metrics such as effort and admin visibility, the dashboard is no longer just a checklist—now it’s an open window into project momentum. If you’re a team leader or a team member, this release provides clarity, control, and context to all areas of the board.
Why This Matters
Up until this point, the board-level dashboard in Kaamfu provided an overview of task progress, but didn’t have the ability to display visually how work was moving. There wasn’t an easy way to identify bottlenecks, see total effort, or even see who were the board admins. All of this is brought together in this update—without cluttering your view or altering your workflow.
Introducing the Cumulative Flow Diagram
The Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) is located just below the highest level overview row on the Board Dashboard. It add a dash of color to the dashboard, is collapsible so you can have a customized view, and blends with your existing work flow and item group structure.
A New Interactive Diagram
This interactive chart allows teams to see immediately the flow of work through item groups over time. It provides a clear visual flow showing how work adds up or moves forward, and it is simple to identify bottlenecks, track momentum, and measure general trends.
Color-Coded Clarity
Each group of items is assigned a unique color automatically, visible in both column headers and the CFD itself. This visual correspondence serves to reinforce the link between the diagram and the board layout, without cluttering up anything. No need for manual configuration.
Insightful Data, Instantly Accessible
The CFD displays information at both team and individual levels. You can switch between a full-team view or peel away a single team member’s contribution to get a more detailed understanding. Hovering over the chart pops up tooltips that display the date, item group name, and number of tasks—without clicking around for an at-a-glance understanding.
Collapsible for Focused Views
The whole chart collapses, so you can expand it when you need to dig in or collapse it to maintain your concentration on other elements of the dashboard. It’s available when you need it—out of the way when you don’t.
Aligned with Real Workflows
Since it leverages the very foundation of your board—no additional setup, no external utilities—the CFD naturally integrates with your current workflow pace. Visual tracking of progress becomes a natural part of your daily process, without any additional overhead.
Who Benefits from the CFD and How
- Project Managers can at once detect slowdowns or skew within item groups and move resources more confidently.
- Team Leads have an even better sense of team momentum in general and task assignment.
- Admins gain from automated transparency—colors, progress, and access roles are all in the correct places.
- Organization Owners are able to view high-level project progress and governance in a glance.
Final Word
This release is all about providing teams with what they want to see—not merely what they must do. Through the Cumulative Flow Diagram, Kaamfu is making visual insight an everyday reality. No setup necessary. No additional noise. More clarity, by design.
