Looks very useful! both to engineering managers, and teams to look at during retros. What do people think about trying this on opensource projects?

This is awesome! Having led engineering teams I can feel the pain, especially when it needs to be communicated to non-engineering members of the team. Are you following any specific methodology for choosing the metrics you track? Would also love to hear the big vision with Haystack, how do you see it in 5+ years?

@matijash Hi Matija, Great question. We as Engineering Leaders ourselves we struggled a lot on this question, how to have metrics that align with the organization's goal and the engineering culture. So we built Haystack with one core focus. Let's actually help teams improve. Both delivery AND dev happiness. There are 3 ways we do that... 1. We only use metrics proven to drive success. - https://services.google.com/fh/f... 2. We only show team-level trends and bottlenecks - not individual rankings or leaderboards. 3. We focus on dev happiness - highlighting things like burnout, work overload, and nudges to help spread best practices (like not sending your teammate a 5k line pull request)

Congrats on the launch @jburd_tweets & @thellimist! What types of teams is Haystack best suited for?

Thanks @sarupbanskota! Haystack is typically best for dev teams of 10 or more who are looking to improve how they deliver. Our alerts typically help spot issues like stale code review, burnout, and even best practices like limiting WIP and keeping pull requests reasonably sized. Our dashboard really helps fuel great retros where we can see what work we got done as a team and what are our biggest opportunities for improvement! Hope that helps :)

Love this idea! Curious if you're looking to tackle softer conflicts like communication issues, burnout, etc.?

Hi Product Hunt! 🎉 So excited to have @gustaf hunt us, thank you! I’m the founder of Haystack (YC W21). Our mission is to help build productive, happy devs teams. As engineers ourselves, we got frustrated when we saw issues like tech debt, inefficient code review, and burnout going unnoticed. We knew it was costing our companies millions and leaving our dev teams frustrated. It was tough to highlight these problems and really drive change. We realized that we needed a tool to showcase what was really holding our team back so we can take steps to improve. So we built Haystack to help teams quickly spot issues, ship faster and continuously improve the dev experience. 🌟 North Star Metrics 🌟 - Delivery speed, team bandwidth, and release quality. 🚀 Delivery Pipeline Reports 🚀 - Visualize your delivery pipeline from first commit to deploy. 🚨 Slack Alerts 🚨- Real-time Slack alerts for burnout, PRs stuck in review, and more. 🔬 Research-backed Metrics 🔬- Backed by research across 1k+ teams, proven to drive better delivery. 🤙 Culture Focused 🤙- Team health metrics and alerts (burnout, work overload, bandwidth). 🔁 Fully Automated 🔁 - No process changes or manual inputs required. Note: As founders we still onboard each and every user, guide them through our metrics, and make sure everyone gets an awesome experience. We'd love to meet you! 👋 We love this community, and we’re offering 20% discount for everyone who signups from Product Hunt. Contact us to get the discount! 🙏 All feedback helps a ton so please comment and let us know what you think! 🙏 p.s. 20% off for Product Hunt users using the discount code ‘PH-2021’
