Track Burnout with Outside Working Hours Metric

[#1]

In high-performing teams, it's easy to get swept up in the momentum of shipping, scaling, and solving. But when work consistently spills into nights and weekends, even the most passionate teams can start to burn out.

At Umano, we believe sustainable performance starts with awareness. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Outside Working Hours metric—designed to help teams see when work is happening outside of regular hours, so they can take steps to rebalance, reprioritise, and protect team wellbeing.

This metric surfaces work activity—like Jira updates or code merges—that happen outside your team’s defined working hours, giving you a clear signal when the delivery pace might be taking a toll.

Why it matters:

🏹 Identify early signs of overwork or burnout

🎯 Support healthier planning and estimation practices

⚖️ Promote more equitable work distribution

✨ Foster a culture where wellbeing is part of performance

Use it as a conversation starter. A flag to revisit timelines, workload, and expectations. A mirror that reflects whether the way you’re working is truly sustainable.
