Trello Cards Velocity Tracker

At Nimbo X we use Trello to keep track of our kanban development pipeline.

We needed a way to track the card velocity/cadence of our development team. Unfortunately most existing products weren't free and offered much more functionality. The ones free were outdated or mediocre at best.

I created this glitch to quickly calculate our team's card velocity during the week (last 7 days).

Getting Started

The app works by fetching the contents of cards on the lists with the word DONE in its title, and consolidating them in a counter list on the web page.

To get started:

Remix this project.
in .env, add:
- A Trello application key
- A Board ID (look under Finding a List ID but instead look for idBoard value)
- click "Show" when your project is live (make sure your broser allows pop-ups).

To Do

I would like to implement a better UI and other metrics (like Throughtput)
