  3. How does DevTruth.ai work?
    DevTruth.ai analyzes daily changes in the codebase and organizes reports by epics, user stories, and tasks, providing relevant insights for everyone on the product team—Product Managers, Developers, QA testers, Designers, and Engineering Managers. Each team member gains visibility into progress and the current development state without relying on constant check-ins. This enables teams to stay aligned and make informed decisions throughout the development process.
     

  4. Which tools does DevTruth.ai integrate with?
    DevTruth.ai is currently compatible with GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Jira, allowing it to connect directly to your version control and ALM systems. These integrations support seamless analysis and reporting based on daily data processing. Additionally, support for GitLab, BitBucket, Asana, and Trello is coming soon, broadening compatibility for diverse development workflows.
     

  5. How does DevTruth.ai benefit developers?
    DevTruth.ai significantly boosts developer productivity by reducing interruptions from the entire product team—including Product Managers, Tech Leads, QA Testers, Designers, and even other developers. With comprehensive, daily reports, managers and peers can check on progress and status without needing to reach out directly to developers. This keeps developers in a focused state of deep work, uninterrupted by requests for updates or clarification questions. As they no longer have to stop coding to respond to each inquiry, developers can maintain momentum on complex tasks, leading to faster progress and higher-quality work. This uninterrupted workflow not only enhances productivity but also boosts morale, as developers experience greater satisfaction from completing meaningful work and making substantial contributions each day.
     

  6. How does DevTruth.ai reduce miscommunication and misalignment?
    DevTruth.ai turns software development into a “clear box” by providing daily visibility into work-in-progress. These reports reveal development status with accuracy that goes beyond user stories or verbal updates, helping detect misalignments within 24 hours instead of waiting for the end of a sprint. This enables quick course corrections, preventing wasted sprints and ensuring alignment with the product vision.
     

  7. How does DevTruth.ai reduce meeting load?
    DevTruth.ai’s asynchronous reports eliminate the need for recurring status meetings by giving the entire product team a clear view of development progress. This can reduce the need for daily standups, check-ins, and dependency meetings by up to 80%, freeing up time for strategic work and reducing reliance on lengthy sync meetings to check alignment.
     

    • Product Managers: DevTruth.ai allows Product Managers to gain daily insights on progress without constant check-ins or status meetings. This eliminates the need for time-consuming follow-up meetings to verify if requirements are being met, as progress is visible in the daily reports. Product Managers can easily monitor alignment with the product vision and roadmap, reducing reliance on end-of-sprint demos or feedback sessions to catch up on progress.

    • Developers: With DevTruth.ai, Developers experience far fewer interruptions for status updates or clarification questions, enabling them to stay in a productive flow. They can direct managers and peers to DevTruth.ai reports as a first source of information, reducing unnecessary back-and-forth discussions and allowing them to maintain focus. The reduction in standups and dependency meetings also means developers can concentrate on coding without frequent disruptions.

    • Tech Leads: Tech Leads benefit from tracking team progress without needing to conduct lengthy standups or check-ins, making it easier to manage and support the team asynchronously. With visibility into potential risks through DevTruth.ai, they can minimize the need for ad-hoc troubleshooting or alignment meetings. Daily snapshots of code and task updates allow Tech Leads to be well-prepared for any necessary discussions proactively.

    • QA Testers: QA Testers receive accurate, up-to-date information on code and task progress, which reduces the need for sync meetings to understand the state of testing. They can monitor code changes in real-time and prepare or adjust test cases as needed without waiting for formal status updates. By having clear insights into ongoing development, QA Testers can avoid end-of-sprint alignment meetings to identify changes that affect their testing efforts.

    • Designers: Designers can track development progress to ensure alignment with design requirements, which reduces the need for check-ins to confirm feature implementation. DevTruth.ai enables them to identify when updates or design changes are necessary by reviewing daily progress, allowing for proactive adjustments. Designers also benefit from fewer alignment meetings with developers to discuss design questions or modifications, as these insights are available in the reports.
       

  8. What kind of insights does DevTruth.ai provide?
    DevTruth.ai delivers actionable, daily insights into team activities, tracking code updates, task progress, and blockers. It organizes reports by relevant project items, giving Product Managers and stakeholders a clear view of work-in-progress that is both comprehensive and easy to digest in just a few minutes.
     

  9. How does DevTruth.ai help avoid wasted sprints?
    DevTruth.ai’s daily insights help Product Managers catch misalignment early. By providing visibility into developers’ actual progress on code, DevTruth.ai allows Product Managers to spot potential issues before they result in wasted sprints, enabling quick corrections to keep development aligned with product requirements and vision.
