The problem

Managers of a 40-engineer team click through Azure DevOps boards before every stand-up to find status, owners and blockers.

£What it was costing them

Manager time before every meeting, and blockers that cost days.

The existing workflow

How the work was done, and where it broke.

Status is found by clicking through boards.

Blockers surface late.

Stand-ups run long, and status pings interrupt engineers.

The solution

Read-only. It answers questions about the work and never changes it.

Projected to halve stand-up time.

The evidence

Shown on real work.

Before stand-up, a manager asks: what's blocked this sprint? EchoTrack lists the blocked items, their owners and how long they've been stuck.

About the evidence

Example scenario. Read-only access and the question set are product features; time savings are projections.
