Status Hero
A Brief Walkthrough
We Scratched an Itch
- Our software firm built Status Hero because we needed it
- We discovered that these needs are common to many teams, so we turned the tool into a product
High Performers
- Because of Status Hero, we now reliably deliver better software
- The goal of this deck is to help you understand how Status Hero can help you and your team
Noisy Data Streams
You and your team are inundated with notifications from all of your tools and systems:
- Code commits
- Bug reports
- Support requests
- Meeting invites
- Devops Alerts
- Ticket updates
- Email threads
- Chat messages
- Docs changes
- ...etc.
Parsing It All Is Hard
- Who did what vs. what was expected?
- Who's doing what, towards what goals?
- Who needs help?
- What wins can be celebrated?
- How long will planned work take?
Standups Help. Sometimes.
- Data is ephemeral, lost when the meeting ends
- You need yesterday's data to see if goals are met
- Hard to schedule, more so if team is distributed
- Start and stop overhead is time consuming
- Participants often distracted
- Nobody likes meetings

Later on, a summary report is distributed to the team and stakeholders.
