Span

Today, we’re excited to announce Span. The tool to make big engineering teams feel small. Span is the AI developer intelligence platform that automates busywork and improves decisionmaking so that teams can spend their time building the right things with the right context. It’s the tool Henry L. and I wish we had in our previous roles. We started Span to address a pattern we'd both lived: as teams expand, context is buried under layers of meetings, tools, people and process. Things begin to stall in the "outer loops" like prioritization, allocation, collaboration, and management—areas where mistakes and inefficiencies are arguably more costly. We’re building a future where: ? Engineering leaders can understand their most precious resource - team time - so that they’re able to invest intentionally, root out hidden costs of toil, and unlock the true potential of their team ? Everyone inside the organization can have an intuitive grasp of what’s happening so they’re empowered to make better decisions, operate confidently and deliver predictably ? Discussions around understanding and elevating developer productivity are considered thoughtfully and holistically ? The hours tied up in tagging, status reporting and coordination meetings are automated away so that people spend less time on busywork and more time on the real work The magic of small teams can exist at any organization. We’re fortunate to be building out this vision with engineering leadership at Ramp, Braze, Carvana, Vanta, Writer, Zip and many others. I’ll be sharing more over the next few weeks. We have outrageously ambitious plans and we’re just getting started. Link in the comments to sign up for early access!
