Active Cycles
One page that shows every cycle currently running across all your projects, with its dates and progress. Useful when you run several projects at once and want to know, in one glance, what is in flight this week.
Active Cycles is available on every plan, including Free.
What you can do
- See all cycles that are running right now, across every project in the workspace, on a single page.
- For each cycle: the project it belongs to, the cycle name, its start and end dates, a progress bar (completed / total work items, as a percentage), and a breakdown of Done / Active / Todo / Backlog counts.
- Jump straight into any cycle from its card.
Getting started
- In the workspace sidebar, click Active Cycles.
- The page loads every cycle in the workspace and shows the ones that are currently running as a grid of cards. A line at the top tells you how many there are.
- Click a card to open that cycle in its project.

What counts as "active"
A cycle appears here when all of these are true:
- It has both a start date and an end date.
- Today falls inside that range — the end date counts as active for the whole day, so a cycle ending today still shows up.
- It has not been archived.
Cycles with no dates, cycles that haven't started yet, cycles that have already finished, and archived cycles do not appear.
If nothing is running, the page tells you so rather than showing an empty grid.
Reading a card
- Progress —
completed / total · %, drawn as a bar. It is based on the number of work items in the cycle that are in a completed state. - Done / Active / Todo / Backlog — the cycle's work items grouped by state category, so you can see at a glance whether a cycle is stalled (lots in Todo, little in Active) or nearly finished.
Tips
- Set start and end dates on every cycle you want tracked here. A cycle without dates is invisible to this page, however busy it is.
- Use it as a Monday-morning check: any cycle whose progress bar is flat a few days before the end date is the one to talk about in stand-up.
- A cycle that ends today still shows. It disappears the next day — so take your end-of-cycle read before midnight, or open the cycle in its project, where the full history stays available.
Limits & good to know
- Read-only. You can't edit a cycle, move work items, or change dates from this page — click through to the cycle for that.
- No filters or sorting. The page shows every active cycle; there is no project filter, search or sort control.
- You only see cycles in projects you have access to.
- The counts come from the cycle's own progress data, so they follow the same state groups the rest of the product uses (Backlog, Todo/Unstarted, Started, Completed, Cancelled).
- This page is about time, not ownership — it shows every running cycle in the workspace you can see, not just cycles that contain work assigned to you.
