Charts that compare "ideal progress" with "actual progress"
Aron Standley
A lot of times, it's hard to sense how far or close a project is to completion, based on the deadline.
In video games, there are frequently a sense of measurement, so players can see how close they are to completion.
This comparison, of "ideal progress" vs "actual progress" over time, is a major recommendation in the 4 Disciplines of Execution method from Franklin Covey - it gives teams and people a sense of positive urgency and motivation, to "reach the goal on time", and a clear sense of if they're on track or not.
OKRs have similar goal tracking, but not every OKR software supports comparison of "ideal" to "actual" progress.
I've seen only one goal and project software offer this feature - Profit.co - despite this feature being so powerful and valuable for improving progress and engagement on projects.
This feature seems like a great opportunity for improved user interface, and a way to help ClickUp users feel more engaged in their projects - making them more productive, and more grateful for having ClickUp in their ecosystem.

I Alsop think you should be able to compare different metrics in your dashboard charts
for example I may want to set a bench mark performance line for my line chart and see which months we surpass or under perform
I may want to compare two different income revenue streams at different points of the year on a line chart.
simple functions like this add men se value

Troy Brown Yes! Alistair Croll talks about this, how great metrics are ratios.
They are actionable: While a raw number like "total distance" is just info, a ratio like "speed" (distance per hour) tells you whether to go faster or slower.
They are inherently comparative: Comparing a daily ratio to a monthly one instantly reveals if you are seeing a spike or a trend.
They balance opposing factors: Ratios are perfect for managing "tension," such as the tension between how much it costs to get a customer (CAC) and how much they are actually worth (LTV).

Aron Standley, I guess the question is....when will ClickUp implement some simple functions like this? From a business perspective it seems odd to not allow simple report tracking like this in your dashboard. This is an easy presentation tool for company directors to see where we are at. Instead we now have to manually (and by manually I mean use another ai ;-) platform to assist) make graphs to present at monthly meetings. Would be great if all we had to do was bring up the ClickUp dashboard on the big screen in meetings.
