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 some questions your project management tool can’t answer:
How much did the epic cost?
How many story points can a team manage in the next sprint?
How did software quality change 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 analyze these data and visualize them in an easy-to-understand way.
Our processes need to be changed before start using Sprintometer. Is this true?
Sprintometer is a tool to assist you and reduce your work. If you are working agile (e.g. SCRUM, Kanban) using standard tools such as Jira and Outlook, Sprintometer will run automatically.
Sprintometer looks like 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.
Doesn’t it promote micromanagement?
It does not promote micromanagement but transparency. Whenever you have a question you can find the answer in Sprintometer. This is what you need to find bottlenecks and improve your team’s performance.
The problem is the people, tools can’t help.
People are for sure the most important in an agile organization. Sprintometer is not there to change your team work but to gain more information about the existing status, take informed decisions and be more in control of the process. Sprintometer perfectly complements SCRUM tools such as Jira, Bitbucket and Outlook and provides you information that is hidden across those tools anyways.
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.
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 nice to have. They are imperative.
