Genchi

We've been using it for a couple of months now and think it's a great tool to stay on top of how the team is feeling and how the product is progressing.

Pros:

We like how simple it is. The slack plugin is awesome.

Cons:

We would love to have a mobile app.

Hey Product Hunt, excited to be here! I know. I know. Tracking project status is about as unglamorous as it gets! However, it is a real problem for many of us, and not only do we "solve" it but we do so in a way that will build trust and engagement within your team. What makes us different is that we provide an easy way to engage the entire team. So every day, through a quick check-in (that should take ~2 seconds) we ask every member of the team "How confident are you that your team will achieve its goal?". Project status reports are typically quite complex, but if you think "What is the one piece of information I really need to know?", the best-combined guess of the entire team of how likely they are to deliver on their goal is likely it. We check-in on a daily basis to build the habit and also so you can be confident the status is current. Genchi doesn't have to replace your current process but rather can ride alongside as a dynamic real-time signal that augments your existing static reports. You wanted transparency? Well, here it is! (Feedback and questions are very welcome.)

Been using this for a couple of months now and it's great! It is very simple, does not add any friction but provides a very reliable way of tracking team sentiment on where a project is. Highly recommend it!

I like the historical value. We have a small team, but we can see how our emotions were affected by different obstacles along the way. It helps you to see that you have a problem currently, but it also helps you to look back and identify what was really problem vs. what wasn't.

what makes it work is that it doesn't actually impose work on you. you just click-off how you feel and keep doing emails. In aggregate, it's creating information that no one person has.

Pros:

Speed. I wouldn't deal with a daily update unless I could do it within seconds. The email fits inobtrusively into my daily startup routine.

Cons:

I'm looking forward to 1-click (less than 2), but I'm sure it's coming.

Looks really cool! Also simple & clean design :) How long did it take to develop it from the idea to the current stage? And what are next features planned?

Love it. So simple. Anything that can make status reporting easier is worth trying out.
