Do we need to change our processes before start to use Sprintometer?
Sprintometer is a tool to assist you and reduce your scope of work. If you are working agile (e.g. SCRUM, Kanban) using standard tools such as Jira or Outlook, Sprintometer will run automatically.
The problem is in the people, tools can’t help. So why would we need Sprintometer?
We fully agree. Successful project management requires managing relationships. This requires human communication and a lot of empathy. Sprintometer frees up time and provides you with useful information on how to do this more effectively. The aim is not to change your team work but to help you take informed decisions and be more in control of the process.
I already have my project management tool such as Jira, do I need Sprintometer?
Your project management tool only provides data within that tool. So it is not able to provide a holistic view of what is actually happening and why. Sprintometer integrates and analyzes data from across several tools in your stack.
Here are some questions your project management tool most likely can’t answer:
How much did the epic cost?
How many story points can a team manage in the next sprint?
How has software quality changed in the last sprint?
When will this feature be ready?
How much money will we have left by the end of the year?
How well is DevOps working (DORA metrics)?
Are we meeting our goals on ART-level?
The answers to these questions are hidden in unstructured data across different tools. We aggregate and analyse these data and visualise them in a way that is easy to understand.
Looks like another tool I need to manage. Doesn’t it create more work?
Good news: No extra work for you. After we’ve set it up for you it runs with almost no manual input.
Is Sprintometer a tool to control the team?
Sprintometer was created by developers. So naturally they did not want to create a product to control other developers. Sprintometer is all about improvement on team and ART level, so there are no metrics to measure individual performance. Additionally, there is a thought-through role system for data visibility.
Looks like a nice-to-have thing. But we are not sure we need it and don’t really have budget for this.
We get it. But in fact, Sprintometer helps you save money. It reduces manual work, helps you make better decisions in less time and helps you find bottlenecks that might cost you far more.
In times where budgets are constantly being cut down, tools that improve your existing processes and increase efficiency aren’t just nice to have. They are imperative.
