>repetitive PM chores like cleaning up the backlog or drafting changelog updates. This is something PMs are supposed to do?
That's a lot of software for 50 minutes per week
We believe that for folks like me in my previous life Dart can save about 7h/wk. For example I spent several hours/wk writing changelogs, which I mostly don't have to do any more.
Separately, our users have reported an average of 12% savings, but I don't have the net number.
Either way, it will vary a lot by user--different people are going to have more/less time saved depending on how much their existing workflows overlap with what Dart can do for them!
Is Dart written in Dart? If not you should do that.
Best project management tool, IMO, is the tool that has no projects to manage. We tried JIRA, Linear, now we are using Github projects. It is too much effort to keep it up to date when things are fast moving. Everything becomes stale. At first look, it feels like this too will suffer the same. The best tool in this space should eliminate the need of specialized PM. PS. Github project has become surprising better in r…
exactly this, having a project manager drive tasks just erodes the sense of ownership in the team. the sense of ownership that comes from giving the responsibility to devs to manage their tasks directly is immense, especially during the initial years
I think the for fast moving teams, the eventual winner in this space is going to be someone who can transparently bring in product requirements and timeline requirements to devs directly than via some middleman
The ideal project management tool for me would integrate with the tools I use to do the work being tracked, and ML to automatically log everything in the project management tool. Kata lets you send updates from your other application using special comments, but I would prefer not to even have to do that.
Looks interesting. Does it do progress forecasting based on historical task velocity, without the need for manual estimation? (See eg: https://screenful.com ) Ed: Does it support importing historical data, and/or external data sources like GitHub, Jira, Trello etc - for current projects and to set a baseline grounded in data? Like historical velocity? Ed2: I guess so? From the welcome email: > Once you're logged in,…
Yeah give managers another topic for quick one-hour weekly sessions )))
