Board Health
AI-powered insights into your board's health -- blocked tickets, stale items, and risk indicators.
Board Health gives you an at-a-glance view of how your project is doing. It uses AI-powered analysis to identify tickets that need attention -- whether they are blocked, stale, unassigned, or at risk of missing deadlines.
Accessing Board Health
Open a board and click the Health tab in the board navigation. The health dashboard shows a summary of your board's current state.
Health indicators
Board Health categorizes tickets into three states:
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Healthy | Tickets are progressing normally -- assigned, active, and on track |
| At Risk | Tickets that may need attention -- stale, nearing deadlines, or missing assignments |
| Critical | Tickets that need immediate action -- blocked, overdue, or stuck |
What gets flagged
Blocked tickets
Tickets with a Blocked status or that are blocked by another ticket via a "Blocks" link. The health view shows what is blocking them so you can take action.
Stale tickets
Tickets that have not had any activity (comments, status changes, or updates) for an extended period. These may be forgotten work items that need a decision.
Unassigned tickets
Active tickets (in Todo or In Progress) that do not have an assignee. These risk falling through the cracks because nobody is clearly responsible.
Overdue tickets
Tickets with a due date that has passed without being completed.
Explainable status
For each flagged ticket, Spedy provides an AI-generated explanation of why it ended up in its current state. This causal chain shows the sequence of events -- status changes, comments, blockers, and assignments -- that led to the ticket's current situation.
This helps you understand not just what is wrong, but why it happened, so you can address the root cause rather than just the symptom.
AI status suggestions
Based on activity patterns (like a linked commit being pushed or a blocker being resolved), Spedy can suggest status changes for your tickets. For example:
- A commit referencing a ticket might trigger a suggestion to move it to In Progress
- A blocking ticket being completed might suggest unblocking the dependent ticket
- An approaching due date might suggest prioritizing a stale ticket
You can accept or dismiss these suggestions. They are informational -- Spedy never changes ticket statuses automatically without your confirmation.
