Engineering teams often find themselves running in circles instead of shipping features. Haystack helps pinpoint exactly where work gets stuck, whether it's lengthy code reviews or complex handoffs. Instead of waiting for retrospectives to discover bottlenecks, teams can access real-time insights to maintain smooth workflows and consistent shipping - preventing small delays from turning into missed deadlines.
Issue cycle time
Bug resolution time
Issue time in status
Once you understand your team's baseline Once you understand your teams benchmarks on these metrics, you can:
Haystack provides real-time visibility into tasks that need attention through:
