* **Compare Multiple Users**: Evaluate the performance of multiple users to understand individual contributions and identify areas for improvement.
* **Compare Multiple Teams**: Assess the performance of different teams to recognize overall team productivity and collaboration effectiveness.
* **Compare Users and Teams**: Compare the performance of individual users against their respective teams to see how each individual stacks up against the team's performance.
