How can I use Trello to show how our job commitment has grown in six months?

I need to make a case for future head counts. I can look at our workload and recognize that it's almost doubled since last year. Is there a power up that shows this? I have Vizydrop, but it isn't giving me concrete numbers.

@[deleted] what numbers are you hoping to extract? Number of cards per list? Or more like a cumulative flow diagram?

I am confused about the cumulative flow - is everything delivered over the entire period of time or does that show job growth by month?

@[deleted] a cumulative flow diagram is like a "kanban board plus time". Here's an illustration of it:

It's just a way of visualising a kanban board over time.
