# Trend Summary alert

This is a quick view across 5 key metrics of how the selected team (or organization as a whole) is doing. These 5 key metrics are:

* `Change Lead Time`
* `Merge Frequency`
* `Change Failure Rate`
* `Out-of-Hours Work`
* `Participation Gap`

Here's an example and breakdown:

* **Check in on:** Metrics that have recently got worse or have been consistently doing poorly
* **Improved:** Metrics that recently improved
* **Still on track:** Metrics that have been consistently trending well

Each section will appear only if there is at least one metric in that section. The section will be removed if there are no metrics that apply, which means that your Trend Summary Alert may appear different from what is shown on this page.

For each metric, we give you the insights, and then an action if the insight status is looking potentially concerning. The status of these [insights](https://docs.multitudes.com/metrics-and-definitions/multitudes-insights) are based on targets that you can [customize](https://docs.multitudes.com/configuration-and-setup/customize-targets) from our default industry benchmarks.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information on these 5 metrics including how they’re calculated and the research behind our default industry benchmarks, check out our page on [Metrics & Definitions](https://docs.multitudes.com/metrics-and-definitions).
