About Haystack
What does Haystack do?
Haystack is a delivery operations platform that helps product and engineering teams plan, execute, and report on software delivery more predictably. It connects directly to your Git and Jira systems to automate best practices and generate real-time reports on metrics like cycle time, epics progress, and team health.
Who is it for?
Haystack is built for engineering leadership, product managers, and team leads who need visibility into delivery progress and capacity. It is ideal for teams of any size that want to reduce blockers, improve standups, and report clearly to executives. It is not a code review tool or a project management replacement — it focuses on operational insights.
Real use cases
Teams use Haystack to track roadmap epics, identify investment allocation, generate AI-powered release notes, and catch risks early via alerts. For example, one customer decreased cycle time from 40 days to 3 days using Haystack's insights. Another uses it for effective 10-second standups and capacity planning.
Key features
- Alerts — Catch delivery risks before they become blockers.
- Flexible Metrics — Report progress with easy-to-understand metrics across Git and JIRA.
- AI Release Notes — Automatically generate release notes to streamline communication.
- Epic Progress — Prevent last-minute roadmap delays with clear visibility.
- Effective Standups — Get status updates in 10 seconds.
- Team Health Report — Identify team members who may need support.
