Features List
Status Hero enables collaborative team communication, accurate delivery estimates, better team management, and clarity as to who's working on what.
-
Frictionless Check-ins
- Status Hero collects check-ins with brief questions in the channel of your choice: email, chat, or SMS. Single-click "magic links" take your team members directly to the check-in; no login required.
-
Familiar Formatting
- Your team can use markdown and emoji in check-ins and comments to convey information in the way they see fit.
-
Insightful Reports and Team Transparency
- We designed the team dashboard and the rest of the reports to deliver the information and clarity you and your team need to continuously improve and succeed.
-
Hundreds of Integrations
- Status Hero works with your communication tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams for check-ins and report distribution. Connect your project management tools to automatically display updates alongside team check-ins and in a real-time activity stream.
-
Real-Time Activity Stream
- Use Status Hero as a hub to observe team events as they occur from both Status Hero and your connected integrations.
-
Time Zone Aware
- Status Hero abstracts away all of the time zone math for teams working across multiple geographies, giving everyone the information they need at the right moment.
-
Comments, Reactions, and @mentions
- Team members can quickly comment and react to each other's check-ins, enabling communication, transparency, collaboration, and engagement.
-
Tailor and Tune to Fit Your Team's Needs
- Start with a set of intelligent defaults, then customize timing, questions, and other configuration settings to suit your team.
-
Multiple Teams and a Company-Wide Dashboard
- Setup multiple teams and team member roles for your organization, and keep track of the top-level metrics from a single dashboard.
-
Power-up One-on-One and Retro Meetings
- Filter check-ins by team members and other data, and then compare key metrics across periods. So you'll have all the data you need at your fingertips for your 1:1s and retros.
-
Observer Mode
- Keep stakeholders in the loop by designating them as observers; they'll get the reports but won't get nagged with check-in prompts.
-
Goal Tracking
- Each check-in depends on the goals set in the previous check-in, so your team gets better at setting expectations for both themselves and their teammates. And in turn, you get better at coming up with delivery estimates.
-
Streaks
- When team members hit their goals for consecutive check-ins, their streaks are incorporated into the dashboard and other reports.
-
Blocker Alerts
- Status Hero alerts you and the team in real time when team members report blocking issues or other instances where they need help in order to make forward progress.
-
Mood Tracking
- Emotional state plays a big part in the workday. Keep tabs on it by letting your team members signal their mood with an emoji. It's a non-intimidating way of generating empathy and smoothing over internal communications.
-
Vacations and Holidays
- Set up a calendar of time off in advance at the team or individual level. Team members can also mark themselves as absent directly in their check-ins.
-
#Hashtags and Search
- Use customizable #hashtags to categorize check-ins and map them to your initiatives. And quickly search check-ins by phrase or external identifier, like a Jira issue ID.
-
Kiosk Display and Dark Mode
- Project your team's progress on a big monitor with the press of a button. And flip your Status Hero dashboard to dark mode to fit in with your other tools.
-

- We count financial institutions and government contractors among our customers. Our experienced team is ready for your procurement process and security review.
