Setting Up Investment Categories

At DevDynamics, two key investment areas are tracked:

  1. Time: Team spending on different tasks
  2. Work Focus: Business objectives alignment and attention allocation

Accessing Investment Categories​

You can navigate to Investment Categories through two routes:

  • Select the Investments tab on the main dashboard, then click "Configure Investment"
  • Go to Settings (bottom left corner) and find investment categories directly

Creating Categories​

Step 1: Click "Add Category" to create a new investment category

Step 2: Provide details for your category:

  • Name (example: "Test")
  • Select a color from the available options

Step 3: Click "Save" to add the category

The color coding system enables quick visual identification of tasks and efforts, helping teams easily track resource allocation across different business objectives.

Tracking Categories​

The platform utilizes issue management system data to track investment categories. Different filters allow you to assign work to categories based on specific criteria, automating the process of categorizing efforts and measuring how resources align with business goals.
