The Real Problems

What eats your week as an EM

Every engineering manager hits the same three drags. Here's what Takt does about each one.

3h+

Sprint planning, every cycle

Estimating velocity, accounting for PTO, juggling infra debt alongside features. By the time the plan is done, you've lost half a day — and it still slips by Wednesday.

✓ AI-generated sprint plans in minutes. Takt reads your GitHub history, maps team capacity, and suggests realistic sprint scope — before the planning meeting starts.

70%

PRs reviewed by 2 people

Your senior engineers are bottleneck reviewers — 70% of PRs go through the same two people. Others check out. Code quality suffers. And nobody's having fun.

✓ Automated reviewer load balancing. Takt tracks who's been reviewing, flags overloaded reviewers, and distributes review assignments across the team — fairly, automatically.

Standup + Jira grooming per week

Daily standups are for status — which you could just read. And Jira grooming takes an hour you don't have. You're doing admin work your engineers could be doing themselves.

✓ Async standups from GitHub activity. Takt reads commits, PRs, and issues overnight and generates a Slack summary before standup — so meetings become decisions, not status reports.
