After you connect your first integrations, Leanmote runs an initial sync and starts populating dashboards. This article tells you what to expect and how to read what you see.
What the initial sync does
The initial sync pulls historical data from each connected source, normalizes it into Leanmote's schema, and computes metrics for the period your plan supports.
Source-control sources (GitHub, GitLab, etc.): pulls repositories, commits, pull requests, reviews, and comments.
Planning sources (Jira, Linear, etc.): pulls projects, issues, sprints, and status-change history.
Communication sources (Slack, Discord): pulls channels, messages, and reactions.
Sync duration depends on volume — small workspaces complete in minutes, large ones take a few hours. You don't need to keep the page open.
Track sync progress
Open Administration → Productivity Tools. Each connected integration shows a status indicator and a "last synced at" timestamp. While the initial backfill runs, the indicator says Syncing.

Open your first dashboard
Once an integration finishes its initial sync, its data flows into the dashboards. The most common starting point for managers is Performance Delivery.
Click Performance Delivery in the sidebar.
The dashboard opens on the General View by default. You can create your own Views later.
Use the four top tabs to navigate: Workflow Performance (flow metrics), Software Delivery Performance (DORA), Team Collaboration Network, and Team Overview.

Read your first numbers
Every metric card has three things you should look at:
The current value. The big number in the middle.
The delta. The arrow and percentage compared to the previous period.
The "Show details" link. Opens a deeper view with trend, distribution, and breakdown.
Set the right time range
The default is Last 30 days. For a brand-new connection that may not be representative — most teams default to Last 14 days for weekly reviews and Last 90 days for trend reviews.
If a metric shows a dash
A dash (-) means Leanmote doesn't have enough data yet to calculate the metric. Common causes:
The integration is still syncing.
The period has no completed work yet (e.g., a brand-new repo).
Required mappings (e.g., status mappings on Jira) aren't configured.
