AI assistant that flags sprint risks from Asana and Slack activity

Reviews Asana tasks, Slack chatter, and developer check-ins to flag sprint risks before they become blockers.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on whether a sprint is actually on track means digging through Asana updates, scrolling old Slack threads, and chasing developers for status one by one. By the time you notice a blocker, the team has often already lost a day or two to it.

Who it fits

Scrum masters and agile teams who want an early warning system for sprint problems instead of finding out too late.

How it works

  1. The workflow runs on a schedule or is started manually
  2. Recent Asana task changes and project structure are collected
  3. Recent Slack conversation in the team channel is gathered
  4. Developers' own status updates are pulled in directly
  5. AI reviews everything together and posts a summary of risks and recommendations to Slack
What you get

Sprint risks flagged before they become blockers

Your team gets an early warning summary of sprint risks pulled straight from Asana tasks and Slack conversations.

What you get

A Slack message summarizing sprint risks, blockers, and recommended actions.

What you need

An Asana account, a Slack account, and an OpenAI account.

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.
