What factors into the score?
Completion Velocity
We track the rate at which cards move from "In Progress" to "Done." Consistent, steady movement raises your score. Erratic bursts followed by weeks of inactivity will lower it, indicating unsustainable sprint pacing.
Zombie Task Ratio
Tasks that sit idle for weeks without updates, comments, or movement act as a drag on project health. Tallzo penalizes boards heavily if a large percentage of open cards fall into the "Zombie" category.
Project Entropy (Chaos)
Cards jumping backward across lists, constant due-date extensions, and unassigned work create high entropy. The more chaotic and unpredictable the board behavior, the more the Health Score decays.
Scope Creep
Adding new tasks to a board faster than existing ones are closed throws off the completion ratio. Sudden spikes in new, unplanned work during active sprints will trigger immediate drops in project health.
Stop guessing. Start measuring.
"How is the marketing launch going?"
Instead of waiting for status meetings or manually clicking through 50 Trello cards, the Health Score gives team leads instant clarity. If the score is dropping, Tallzo highlights the exact bottleneck causing it.
