May 5, 2023

Matt Upton, Director of Software Development at Rewind, joined Sleuth's Don Brown and Daniel de Juan to take our new Goals and Automations feature for a test drive. Hear reactions and input from Matt on how he sees the Goals feature being useful for his teams:

  • Allows teams to set actionable software delivery efficiency goals
  • Automatically suggests goals based on teams' historical performance
  • Notifies teams when they’re drifting from these goals
  • Provides visibility into teams' performance against their goals over time
