Show HN: Nirvana.Work – Automated Task Scheduling – Put Sprints on Autopilot

maniraghubansh 6y ago
Standups are boring and sprint planning takes too long. And who wants to talk about schedules and progress, anyway? My co-founder Rahul and I didn't. That's why we built Nirvana (https://nirvana.work/ https://nirvana.work/) Nirvana is built to give teams the guarantee that tasks are being managed perfectly, and reduce anxiety around planning and progress. So that everyone can happily shift their whole focus to building awesome products. Nirvana puts tasks on your calendar on your terms. If your team is scattered across timezones, or some people work part time, and some prefer to work in the night - no matter! Nirvana will schedule accordingly - it eats complexity for breakfast. If you don't do sprints, and are working on continuous delivery, even better! Just prioritize and schedule features as you decide to pick them up. Nirvana will ensure the best possible Time to Value (TTV). Think of this as an Autopilot. Or Google Maps. It computes your ETA/Delivery Plan when you start your sprint, and updates your plans as you go. Here's a cool video with Matrix references to clarify further-> https://youtu.be/1t4os4WS24s https://youtu.be/1t4os4WS24s Or just visit us to know more and try it yourself: https://nirvana.work/ https://nirvana.work/ Here are some references on various aspects of the basic idea: Kunal Shah - Google Maps-like execution for Startups https://twitter.com/kunalb11/status/1356872413355659265 https://twitter.com/kunalb11/status/1356872413355659265 Joel Spolsky - Evidence based Scheduling https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/10/26/evidence-based-scheduling/ https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/10/26/evidence-based-sch...
