What Anomaly Detection Flagged for a 50-Person Distributed Team
A marketing agency with 50 employees in three time zones faced a common problem: by the time a performance issue showed up in the Friday report, it had already affected delivery. Managers needed a check-in to find out what weekly numbers couldn't tell them.
With TraqNext anomaly detection, the platform surfaced four issues within two weeks — none of which appeared anywhere in standard reports.
- 1.
- Two designers were consistently logging work activity past midnight. The pattern had been running for eleven days. Neither had reported overwork — the hours simply were not visible to a manager in a different time zone. Task redistribution reduced the pattern within a week.
- 2.
- A developer was spending significantly less time in their coding environment and more time in unrelated apps. The shift had been gradual enough to stay invisible in a weekly productivity summary. A one-to-one addressed it before it affected sprint velocity.
- 3.
- TraqNext sends different alerts when a user opens a prohibited app, goes inactive, manually adds time, or shows unusual keyboard and mouse activity — so managers are immediately notified, without waiting for a report or a check-in to surface the issue.
- 4.
- A developer is reporting full time, and his productivity percentages are also good, but the output is weak. If he is using any application to generate fake mouse movements and keystroke events, those activities will be deducted, and the relevant timeline will be highlighted. Confronting the user about this behaviour may compel him to avoid such dodging tricks, if he is capable. Otherwise, the company can find a replacement, save resources, and stay aligned with project deadlines.
All four issues were identified and acted on within days — not discovered weeks later when the downstream effects had already compounded.

① Severity classification
TraqNext classifies each alert as Low, Medium, or High based on how far the activity deviates from that individual's rolling baseline — not against a fixed company-wide target. A High severity alert means the deviation is substantial and sustained, not just a slow afternoon.
② Baseline comparison
The alert shows today's active time alongside the person's rolling average for the past fourteen days. This gives the manager immediate context: how unusual is this, and for how long has the pattern been shifting? The percentage deviation is calculated automatically.
③ Action controls
From the alert itself, managers can open the full timeline for the flagged period, dismiss the alert if there's a known reason, or flag it for follow-up. No separate report needs to be pulled — the next step is built into the alert.
