Visibility
Progress should be obvious to everyone. Stride makes work visible at every level, from individual tasks to strategic releases, without manual status reports.
Visibility Principles
Many teams spend hours on status reports that nobody reads. Stride takes a different approach: visibility should be automatic, real-time, and accessible to everyone.
Automatic, Not Manual
Progress is calculated from actual work completion, not self-reported percentages. When a task is marked done, the system knows.
Real-Time Updates
No waiting for weekly reports. Status updates instantly propagate up the hierarchy. Everyone sees current state, not last week's snapshot.
Appropriate Detail
Executives see release progress. Managers see outcome status. Developers see task details. Everyone gets the right level of information.
Transparency Default
All work is visible to all workspace members. No hidden backlogs or surprise dependencies. Trust comes from shared information.
Automatic Progress Tracking
Stride calculates progress automatically through the hierarchy. No manual percentage updates, no guessing—just real completion data.
How It Works
Task Level
Tasks are binary: done or not done. When you mark a task complete, that completion is real and verified.
Outcome Level
Outcome progress = (completed tasks / total tasks) × 100. If an outcome has 8 tasks and 6 are done, it's 75% complete.
Release Level
Release progress = (completed outcomes / total outcomes) × 100, or weighted by task count for more granular tracking.
Why Automatic Tracking Matters
Manual progress updates are notoriously unreliable. Tasks that are “90% done” often stay at 90% for weeks. By tying progress to actual completion, Stride shows reality—not optimistic estimates.
Views & Dashboards
Stride provides multiple ways to visualise work, each designed for different audiences and use cases.
Roadmap View
Strategic timeline showing releases and their planned delivery dates. Perfect for stakeholder communication and long-term planning.
- • Release timeline visualisation
- • Outcome swimlanes within releases
- • Dependency mapping
- • Milestone markers
Board View
Kanban-style board showing work items by status. Ideal for daily standups and tracking work in progress.
- • Drag-and-drop status updates
- • WIP limits per column
- • Filter by assignee or type
- • Quick task creation
Dashboard View
Summary metrics and progress charts. Great for release reviews and executive updates.
- • Release completion percentage
- • Outcome status breakdown
- • Blocked items highlight
- • Team velocity trends
List View
Traditional table view with sorting and filtering. Best for detailed work management and bulk operations.
- • Customisable columns
- • Advanced filtering
- • Bulk status updates
- • Export capabilities
Changelog & History
Stride automatically records what changed and when, providing a complete audit trail of delivery progress.
What's Tracked
Completions
When tasks and outcomes are marked complete, by whom, and at what time.
Status Changes
Full history of status transitions including who made the change.
Scope Changes
When outcomes are added or removed from releases, tasks are re-prioritised.
Comments & Decisions
Discussion threads capture context and decisions made along the way.
Using Changelog for Retrospectives
The changelog is invaluable for retrospectives. Instead of relying on memory, teams can review actual delivery data: what got blocked, what took longer than expected, what shipped smoothly. Data-driven retrospectives lead to actionable improvements.
