Built for the teams that build
Whoever is doing the work, the questions are the same: what did we do, what are we on, are we on time, and where are the keys. Here is how different companies answer them with ShipWoven.
Seed to Series B
You just passed ten people and the founders stopped seeing the work. Standups eat the morning, Jira tells you 0% until the end, and the production keys are in a pinned message.
- A two-minute daily update per person, signed by the lead, read by the founders in one list
- Working on now: the two or three features the company is on, with the real progress
- Production keys, the company card and the NDAs in a vault nobody at the vendor can read
- Points that reward the people who show up and ship, visible when you decide
Several clients, one team
Every client is a project, every project has its own Jira board, and every month ends with the question of who spent how much time where.
- Project access per department, team or person; a team sees only its clients
- Reports pick the epic and stories they touched, so hours land on the right project
- Finance per project: what was paid, by whom, with the receipt, verified
- Legal: the NDA and contract of each client, with expiry flags
Four time zones, one picture
Nobody is online at the same time. Updates in chat scroll away, and days off are a message someone missed.
- Asynchronous reports filed from a phone, with a schedule per person and public holidays per country
- Days off requested and approved in the portal, counted against expected hours
- Sign-in activity so leaders know who is around
- Everything works on a phone, first
A vendor team you can actually see
You pay for a team you did not hire. Their hours arrive in an invoice and their progress in a weekly call.
- The vendor's people file the same reports as yours, signed by their lead, then yours
- Their Jira progress on your roadmap, judged against the dates you agreed
- Issues you report go through stages the vendor must move, with time in each stage
- They see their projects and nothing else
What changes in the first month
Week 1
Departments, teams and people are in. Forms are written with you. Jira is connected. Leads file the first reports and sign the first ones.
Week 2
Working on now is set. The roadmap shows the real progress of each epic. Issues start going through stages. The vault holds the keys that used to live in chat.
Weeks 3 and 4
Missed reports and hours against schedule are visible. The points policy runs in shadow mode for you to watch. Finance and legal are filled in. You stop asking "what are we working on?"
