Quantified Tasks in Monday.com
Monday.com is an excellent option for teams that want to use Quantified Tasks, as it offers great customization and automation tools.
We recommend using the Table with Tasks. One of the best advantages of Monday.com for Quantified Tasks is the fact that averages and sums are automatically shown for each group of Tasks.
Setting Up
To get started, add the following Status columns:
Impact
i5: Massive
i4: Significant
i3: Major
i2: Major
i1: Slight
iT: Triage (default)
Gravity
g5: Criticcal
g4: Significant
g3: Major
g2: Minor
g1: Trivial
gT: Triage (default)
Priority
Done (indicates done)
p5: Emergency
p4: Now
p3: Next
p2: Later
p1: Eventual
pT: Triage (default)
Distance
d1: Within day
d2: Within quater sprint
d3: Within half sprint
d4: Within sprint
d5: Exceeds sprint
dT: Triage (default)
Friction
f1: Highway
f2: Street
f3: Off-Road
f4: Trail
f5: Jungle
fT: Triage (default)
Relativity
r1: Trivial Flux
r2: Low Flux
r3: Moderate Flux
r4: Significant Flux
r5: Total Flux
rT: Triage (default)
Origin
o1: Planning
o2: Design
o3: Implementation
o4: Verification
o5: Production
o0: Not a Bug
Caught
c1: Planning
c2: Design
c3: Implementation
c4: Verification
c5: Production
c0: Not a Bug
Order these columns however you like. We recommend adding Descriptions to each to help your team remember how to use the different Measures. We additionally recommend the following colors:
1: Green
2: Yellow
3: Orange
4: Red
5: Purple
T/0: Gray
Once you’ve created these Status columns, add two Formula columns with the following formulas:
Energy Points
(RIGHT(LEFT({Distance},2),1) + RIGHT(LEFT({Friction},2),1)) * RIGHT(LEFT({Relativity},2),1)
Volatility
(RIGHT(LEFT({Caught},2),1) - RIGHT(LEFT({Origin},2),1)) * RIGHT(LEFT({Impact},2),1)
Pending
IF({Priority}="Done",0,{Energy Points})
Velocity
IF({Priority}="Done",{Energy Points},0)
Energy Points will always display a warning when there is no estimate (Distance, Friction, and/or Relativity is set to Triage), but this behavior is desirable.
Volatility will always display a value, as the default score is 0.
