Timely Course Correction Example using DevTruth.ai
Hannah, a Product Manager, was reviewing her daily DevTruth.ai report when she noticed 4 out of 5 engineers had spent the previous day integrating a new NoSQL database into the product. Just days ago, she had stressed the urgency of frontend enhancements for an upcoming high-stakes demo. While some improved backend scalability was necessary, this database work seemed far beyond the immediate need.
Her unease grew during the morning standup. The developers described the backend work as "taking longer than expected" but didn’t elaborate. Turning back to her DevTruth.ai data, Hannah quickly pieced together the technical context of the database integration. It looked like the team had ventured into solving a large-scale problem—one the business didn’t urgently need.
Seeking answers, Hannah reached out to Jason, the Team Lead. That’s when she uncovered the core issue: some team members had opted to integrate a new NoSQL database instead of implementing more modest scalability enhancements to their existing SQL system. While the new database made sense long-term, it was a costly distraction from the current business priority—the frontend updates crucial for the demo. Hannah explained that this decision jeopardized the team’s ability to deliver the demo on time. Jason saw the misalignment and quickly rallied the team to realign their efforts. By the next day, the engineers were back on track, as Hannah confirmed in the DevTruth.ai reports.
The frontend updates were completed just in time for the demo, and the presentation was a success. Thanks to DevTruth.ai, Hannah caught the misalignment early and avoided a disaster. For Product Managers like her, the daily insights on the developers' actual coding activity are invaluable. These insights help ensure teams stay focused on driving the product forward.
