How to Run an Internal Feature Usage Analysis in ClickUp

Understanding how your organization uses ClickUp helps product, operations, and leadership teams make better decisions. This guide walks you through generating a structured internal feature usage analysis report so you can clearly see which features are being adopted and how often your workspace uses them.

This how-to article is based on the internal Feature Usage Analysis template available in the ClickUp AI Agents workspace.

What the ClickUp Feature Usage Analysis Covers

The internal feature usage analysis report is designed to give you a holistic, data-driven view of workspace behavior. At a high level, the report helps you answer questions like:

• Which features are my users adopting the most?
• Where is activity growing or declining over time?
• How do different teams or user groups behave?
• What patterns or anomalies might need investigation?

The analysis template is structured and repeatable, making it easier to compare results across time periods.

Before You Start: Data and Access Requirements

To perform a meaningful internal feature usage analysis, you first need to ensure you have access to the right product data and context.

Confirm Your Data Sources

Make sure you can retrieve the following information from your internal systems, analytics tools, or data warehouse before you begin documenting feature usage:

• Workspace or account identifiers
• User counts and active users per time period
• Event or activity logs tied to product features
• timestamps so you can segment by date ranges

Ideally, this data is captured from tools integrated with ClickUp or from your internal telemetry systems connected to your workspace.

Align With Your Stakeholders

Clarify with product managers, customer success, and leadership what they want to learn from the analysis. For example:

• Which features they are evaluating for improvement or deprecation
• Which workflows or Teams they are most interested in
• Any key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to feature adoption

This alignment ensures the analysis addresses the right business questions rather than just listing raw numbers.

How to Use the ClickUp Feature Usage Analysis Template

The internal template is organized into clear sections that you can follow whenever you analyze product behavior. Use the steps below as a practical checklist.

Step 1: Define Scope and Timeframe

Begin by scoping the analysis so the results are focused and comparable over time.

1. Choose your date range. Decide whether you want to analyze daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly usage.

2. Select the audience segment. Examples include all workspaces, only paid workspaces, a specific region, a specific team, or a particular customer cohort.

3. Clarify which features are in scope. List the product areas or feature sets that you will evaluate, such as tasks, docs, whiteboards, automations, or dashboards.

Document these decisions clearly at the top of your analysis so anyone reading the report can understand the boundaries of the data.

Step 2: Gather and Organize Your Data

Next, collect the metrics you need for each feature in scope.

1. Pull raw activity data. Use your analytics or internal tools to export feature usage events.

2. Aggregate by unit. Group data by workspace, user, or team, depending on your objective.

3. Calculate summary metrics. For each feature, calculate counts such as:

   • Number of active workspaces using the feature
   • Number of active users engaging with the feature
   • Total events or actions taken for that feature
   • Frequency per user or per workspace

Keeping a consistent structure across features makes your ClickUp feature usage analysis easier to compare and interpret.

Step 3: Build the Top-Level Summary

The first section of your report should be a concise overview that non-technical stakeholders can quickly skim.

1. Highlight the key findings. Examples include most-used features, fastest-growing features, or areas with declining engagement.

2. Include high-level numbers. Such as total active workspaces, total active users, and overall event volume for the time period.

3. Call out any outliers. Note unusual spikes or drops in feature usage that may require deeper investigation.

This overview becomes the main reference for leadership stakeholders who may not need every technical detail.

Deep-Dive Sections for ClickUp Feature Usage

Once the high-level summary is complete, add more detailed sections for each feature or product area.

Feature-Level Views

Create a dedicated subsection for each major feature. For each, you can include:

• Feature description: A one-sentence summary of what the feature does and why users rely on it.
• Adoption metrics: Number of workspaces and users that used the feature in the chosen timeframe.
• Engagement metrics: Event counts, average actions per user, or time spent.
• Trends over time: Directional changes compared with previous periods.

Structure these subsections consistently so they can be reused for each cycle of your analysis.

Segment and Cohort Breakdowns

To better understand how different groups use ClickUp features, segment your data by:

• Plan type (e.g., free vs. paid)
• Team size or company size
• Region or industry
• Customer lifecycle stage

Then note how feature usage in each segment compares with overall averages. This helps you tailor product decisions, marketing, and education programs.

Interpreting ClickUp Feature Usage Insights

Numbers alone are not enough. You should transform the raw metrics into actionable insights and recommendations.

Identify Opportunities and Risks

Look for patterns that indicate where you can improve the product or user experience:

• High adoption, low depth: Many workspaces use the feature once or twice, but not frequently.
• Low adoption, high depth: A smaller audience uses the feature very heavily.
• Declining trends: Usage is dropping across periods, signaling friction or replacement by other tools.

Document hypotheses for each pattern and suggest next steps such as user interviews, surveys, or usability studies.

Translate Insights Into Actions

For each key observation, propose at least one concrete action item. Examples include:

• Product experiments or A/B tests
• Improved onboarding flows for underused features
• In-app education or help center content updates
• Targeted customer success outreach to strategic accounts

Attach owners and timelines to each action so the analysis drives real outcomes.

Sharing and Maintaining Your ClickUp Analysis

To maximize impact, make the internal feature usage analysis easy to discover, understand, and update.

Standardize the Template

Save your structure as a repeatable template inside your documentation system. Each time you run a new analysis, simply duplicate the template and update:

• Timeframe and scope
• Data tables and charts
• Key findings and action items

This consistency makes it easier to compare ClickUp feature usage across periods.

Distribute to the Right Stakeholders

Share the finished report with:

• Product managers and designers
• Customer success and support leaders
• Sales and account managers for strategic accounts
• Executive leadership reviewing product strategy

Consider presenting the highlights in a brief meeting or Loom recording so stakeholders can quickly understand the implications.
