The Easy Path to Engineering Zen
Top teams have 3x more time for value-adding work they enjoy, but the typical path to get there is long and arduous.
So much to do, so little time
With so much to improve and limited resources, figuring what will have a real impact is a major challenge for engineering leaders.
Remote Work Practices
Unwritten requirements, inefficient review processes, and large work batches can cripple remote teams.
Inefficient Meetings
Excessive meetings or poor scheduling can prevent engineers from having focused work time.
Process Problems
Poor planning, estimation, and communication create rework and lead to unpredictable delivery.
Technical Debt
Fragile architecture, unreliable tests, and inadequate DevOps make work harder than it should be.

Everyone will love the results
Improving team health frees engineers to spend more time building software that customers love.
Off-Sprint Tasks
Ticket and commit data shows exactly how much coding time does not tie back to planned goals.
Incomplete Work
Incomplete work tracking measures effort toward tasks that don’t make it over the finish line.
Estimate Overruns
Commit-based time tracking highlights tickets that take up the most time relative to their estimates.
Blocked Time
Meetings and gaps in activity show how much time engineers spend blocked from doing development work.
