A manager owes the people they are responsible for a conversation they can count on. It is the easiest promise in the week to let slip, because nothing breaks when it does and nobody comes to your desk to ask for it.
Covalentteam installs on your GitHub organisation and keeps that rhythm for you. It plans your meetings with each person, and opens every one on what has happened since the last — the work they picked up, the reviews they gave, what has been waiting on somebody longer than it should. Nothing is sent to anybody on your behalf and nothing scores anybody. You decide when to talk and what to say, and what the product does is see that you come to it already knowing what the person in front of you has been carrying.
Who it is for
The engineering manager who is answerable for how a team is doing and has nowhere honest to look.
- For the manager who believes a person is more than a number.
- For the manager who believes their team should know it is installed.
- For the manager who believes a team is a thing now, not an archive.
Who makes it
Covalentteam is made at Green Guava Tree, a studio that helps teams move off legacy software with the discipline of functional programming.
