Net Backlog Change(4.3.2)

Net change in backlog size in the latest complete week -- positive means the backlog is growing, negative means shrinking. The single number that says whether you're catching up or falling behind. This card reads the latest complete week and names the week it read. The week in progress is left out rather than counted: new issues are recorded the moment they arrive while closures accumulate across the week, so a part-finished week overstates backlog growth every week of the year rather than only sometimes. If the only week in the selected range is still in progress, no number is shown. The chart below still plots the week in progress.
