# Understanding Your Data

Taskmaverick gives you three tools to understand what's happening across your organization. Each answers a different question, and together they give you complete visibility — from real-time operations to long-term trends.

## When to use which

**Use Dashboard when you need a high-level pulse check.** Are Missions getting stuck? How fast are employees completing work? How does Team A compare to Team B? Dashboards give you pre-built analytical views — no setup required. Just select a unit, date, or team and read the results.

**Use Overview when you need to see specific Missions.** Which Missions are running right now? Who claimed what? What's scheduled for tomorrow? Which Processes are in progress? Overview shows you individual Mission instances across all boards — with full detail and the ability to take action (cancel, bounce back, boost).

**Use Reporting when you need structured analysis.** Build custom reports by combining data sections (Missions, Tickets, Processes, Tests), set date ranges, filter by teams or units, and export to Excel. Share recurring reports with stakeholders via email subscriptions. Reporting is where raw data becomes insight.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.taskmaverick.com/analytics-and-monitoring/understanding-your-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
