Echoes uses the data it collects from its [integrations](docId\:n-7mj2eHLg3giO5544LoT) to produce activity reports.

Echoes is deliberately designed to present actionable data, and not the exhaustivity of things that can be measured as part of a software development flow. Therefore, the reports focus on key components of engineering success, while the underlying data is used to feed into rich and complex [insights](docId:0Ih6nqvKrZz_cE-d6HkA-).

# Executive report

The executive report is a high-level view of the status of your organization across the different components of engineering success.

- The **alignment** section gives a bird-eye view of how efforts in the teams (in line) are being allocated against your company goals and projects (in column). This view gives a very simple overview of how engineering budget is being used, in a way that can be presented to a CEO or a CFO.

- The **delivery** section gives a bird-eye view of the [delivery performance](docId\:sUX4EjvFxlOM7ffyfEk7L) metrics across teams.

Clicking on any team, goal, or initiative allows to zoom into the activity and understand the data being presented.

# Team report

The team report is an overview of the activity for a particular set of teams. It notably shows the evolution of efforts allocation over time (on a week-to-week, month-to-month, or quarter-to-quarter basis depending on the selected filter).
