“We came out of obviously New Relic and had experienced kind of the pain firsthand of being busy middle managers who were constantly just trying to kind of grapple to get every last little bit of time that we could for our priorities and constantly running into that challenge of the calendar sort of feeling like a debt you have to pay down every week instead of an actual reflection of the work you need to get done.”
“We actually came at this problem being sort of dev and monitoring nerds, not even thinking about the calendar. Initially, we only were thinking about this problem of like, how do you get people and teams focused on the right stuff?”
“We run millions of simulations daily against calendars and basically try to figure out like, are you running out of time to do this thing? And if the answer is no, we'll put the time down, but we'll mark it as free.”
