sprint tracker
The velocity dashboard, graduated: a full sprint-intelligence product with AI-generated sprint reports.
team one internal tool, deployed in production on the agency's internal aws/eks platform.
The successor to the Jira velocity intelligence dashboard: same persistent-structure architecture, rebuilt as a product with separate frontend and backend services, permanent sprint history, AI-generated sprint reports published to the wiki on sprint close, and a client-priorities alignment view. The AI layer recommends bucket classifications; humans approve in a detail-rich modal, and a manual-override flag guarantees human corrections survive every sync.
It also carries the fleet's hardest-won infrastructure lesson: the platform freezes database credentials at deploy while AWS rotates them weekly, so apps died on schedule while nobody touched them. The fix — runtime secret resolution, a self-healing connection pool, a rotation watchdog, and honest readiness probes — was built here and codified into the shared migration guide so no future app rediscovers it.
Full case study in progress — artifacts pending clearance or writing time. The insight below is already earned.
Internal tools graduate. The spreadsheet became a dashboard, the dashboard became a product — each generation keeping the data model and shedding the friction.
