Easy-to Understand Blocker and Dependency Analytics

The most common cause of blockers taking a long time to resolve is the team blocking doesn't know they are blocking something important or it gets lost in the noise. By filtering on your team, you can quickly see an ordered list (by urgency and age) of teams blocked by your team.

Easy-to Understand Blocker and Dependency Analytics

By capturing blockers "Blocked" generates easy-to-understand charts. You don't need a lot of data to gain insight into what team to team dependencies hurt most, or what types of blockers (based on tags you apply to them) are the most frequent or impactful. Seeing these trends over time helps see that changes you make process and organizationally have had an impact.

"Blocked" operates in real-time. As blockers are added and resolved they are immediately shown on every logged-in user's browser window. You can also add an email address or alias to a team and get email notifications, and/or a Slack channel to get slack messages in the team's channel. Meet the developers and teams where they are - and as much as it pains us, it's probably not our tool!

There is often an overwhelming number of blockers making it hard for teams to know which ones they should resolve first. We help make an organization-wide urgency scale with plain English labels when assigning urgency to a blocker. You can see immediately where your blocker sits on another team's blocker list, and help them understand when it's too low in your opinion. Negotiate!
