The problem it solves

Pulling together a sprint status update means logging into Jira, chasing down who did what, and manually formatting a report for stakeholders every single week. That routine eats into time you could spend actually managing the project.

Who it fits

A project manager or engineering lead who reports sprint progress to stakeholders on a regular cadence.

How it works

  1. Every Monday morning, the system checks your Jira project
  2. It pulls issues that were updated, created, completed, or coming due
  3. It calculates team metrics like velocity, blocked issues, and workload per person
  4. It builds a formatted report as an email, PDF, and markdown file
  5. Stakeholders receive the report by email and the data is saved for future tracking
What you get

Sprint metrics stakeholders see every Monday

You get a formatted sprint progress report with velocity, blockers, and workload, emailed to your stakeholders every Monday morning.

What you get

A weekly sprint report delivered by email as HTML and PDF, with the underlying metrics stored for historical tracking.

What you need

A Jira account, a Gmail account, and a PostgreSQL database.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
