Philosophy

Which metholodgy is best for my team?

Agile? Waterfall? Kanban? Scrum? Uhh... something custom?

How should we prioritize work?

Time? Story points? T-shirt sizes? Fibonacci? Uhh... follow your gut?

Which app works best for my company?

GitHub issues is too technical. JIRA is antiquated and overly-complex. Linear is too static. ClickUp lacks the fundamentals technical teams need. Trello, Asana, and Monday all fall short. Uhh... I guess we'll just use a spreadsheet? 🤢

How do we align our teams on goals and track progress?

Slack bots? Zoom meetings? Notion? Email? Shared Google Drive documents?

Fundamentals

CodeTrackr is a dynamic project management tool enriched with artificial intelligence and machine learning, enabling teams to enhance performance through greater alignment.

There are 2 problems we aim to solve:

1. Teams struggling to align, communicate, and collaborate virtually/remotely. Goals, priorities, and tracking are often inaccurate, leading to negative experiences and frustrations for everyone.
2. Generic applications do not cater to the unique needs of each technical organization. A plethora of features and customizations often results in a bloated, overly complex, and expensive solutions.

Technical products, their projects, and their users have complex requirements. The necessary tool goes far beyond mere task tracking.

Design

There is no right or wrong way to use CodeTrackr. We provide an ideal default solution structured in a specific way, however, it is mostly customizable. The software is molded by your team's desires and habits. The machine will study your products, their features, and much more. Pools of information will influence helpful suggestions and assist every aspect of your organization's workflow.

Principles

Out of the box, CodeTrackr is influenced by industry experts with over 25 years of knowledge and experience building great software.

Budgeting

One of the most common types of percentage-based budgets is the 50/30/20 rule. The idea is to divide income into three categories: spending 50% on needs, 30% on wants, and 20% on savings.

We could apply this same rule to software development:

• 50% for needs (company goals)
• 30% for wants (feedback or feature requests)
• 20% tax (for bugs and internal tasks)

We could divide assignments into 3 categories:

1. Company
2. Customer
3. Internal

Responsibilities

Everyone plays an important role in the overall success of their company on CodeTrackr.

Long-term goals and the system of prioritization are set by leadership and shared throughout an organization.

Standard workflows can be enforced globally or teams can experiment and find what works best for them.

Experience

Our default recipe for software development is:

User Experience (UX) = Developer Experience (DX) × Product-Led Growth (PLG)

The variables for success are unique and interchangeable. If your company adopts Marketing-Led Growth (MLG) and prioritizes a sales-driven approach, CodeTrackr can be tweaked to align with those strategies.
