Overview brief
This sprint is behind, and it has happened before. 2 of your last 6 sprints came in under plan.
How Baro decides →Is your team's delivery bar high enough? Ask Baro.
Your Jira data knows how your team really delivers. Baro makes it talk, so you know where to raise the bar.
For engineering managers and heads of engineering who run delivery on Jira.
BehindKeeps happening
This sprint is behind, and it keeps happening: 4 of your last 6 came in under plan.
Why is it behind?
- Work added after start5 of 6
- Tickets aging past your usual3 of 6
- Blocked time2 of 6
Written by rules from your Jira numbersHow we decide
Signals, not scorecards
Everything is team-level. No leaderboards, no individual rankings.
Read-only
Baro only reads Jira. It never writes to it and never asks for write access.
Walled per company
Row-level security inside the database. One workspace can't read another's rows.
Yours to delete
Disconnect Jira and reading stops at once. Ask, and the whole workspace is gone within 30 days.
What Baro says
Sentences Jira can't write for you.
Each one is written by a rule from your own numbers, judged against your own history.
Live
Two tickets are older than 85% of what this team ever finishes.
How Baro decides →Sprint
In progress, not blocked, and no update in longer than usual for this team.

The cockpit
Three tabs. Three questions a manager actually asks.
Live
What needs attention right now
Work older than your team usually takes, tickets that keep coming back, and starts bunched against the end of the sprint, on one screen. Each refresh says what changed since you last looked.
- Aging work measured against your own 85% line, not a day count you set
- Boomerang tickets, with the reason on every row
- WIP as the shape of the load, never a leaderboard
Sprint
Will we hit the sprint?
A read on the sprint while there's still time to act: scope that moved, the tickets threatening this sprint, and the ones going quiet. When it's too early to call, Baro says so.
- Scope change split into interrupts, backlog pulls and re-estimates
- At-risk tickets that threaten this sprint, not a general triage list
- Going quiet: in progress, not blocked, no update in longer than usual
Team health
Are we improving over time?
Your bar across flow, delivery, silos and refinement. Start from Baro's starting bar and tweak it on the Bar tab to fit your team. Areas without enough history say so instead of guessing.
- Planned vs delivered and the work mix, sprint by sprint
- Board trust: how far your board reflects reality
- Team-level only. Baro never ranks individuals.

What is Baro?
Connect your data. From the first refresh, Baro helps you spot the right signals in all the noise.
Baro answers on the first refresh. Other tools are still asking you questions.
Your team, measured against its own history. That's your bar.
How Baro measuresHow it works
- 1
Understands your data
Baro learns how your project is set up from the Jira activity you already have, and checks again on every sync.
- 2
A bar from day one
Six starting targets for a good team, published as Baro's starting bar. Tweak any of them on the Bar tab.

Guides your next step
Not just numbers. Baro points to what's slowing the team down and what's working.
Your data
Baro keeps what your board did. Never who did it, and never what the tickets say.
Baro reads Jira with the smallest permission it can ask for and stores only what the rules need. Nothing it keeps can name a person or describe your product.
WHAT BARO KEEPS
- Ticket keys, types, statuses and the dates they changed
- Story points, labels, components, the Flagged state
- Sprint membership: when a ticket entered and left, with its points at the time
- The team-level numbers Baro computed, run by run, so trends and baselines work
- An opaque Jira account ID per change, so the same person's edits line up. Never a name.
WHAT BARO NEVER SEES OR STORES
- Names, email addresses or avatars of anyone in your Jira
- Issue descriptions, comments or attachments
- Anything it could write to. Read-only, always
- Any per-person score, ranking or leaderboard
- Ticket titles: shown only when you ask, fetched live, never saved

Where Baro fits
Your tools show numbers. Baro tells you what they mean.
Every tool you have can draw a burndown. Only one tells you on Monday morning whether to worry, why, and whether it keeps happening.
vs Jira's own reports
Jira shows you this sprint. Baro tells you whether it keeps happening.
- They do well
- Free and already there: burndown, velocity, control chart, created vs resolved.
vs sprint-health apps
No red, yellow or green to configure. "Too long" is what your team's history says.
- They do well
- Detailed per-issue scores and thresholds you can tune, right inside Jira.
vs engineering-intelligence platforms
Built for the manager of one team, not the quarterly review. Running in one refresh, not one quarter.
- They do well
- Allocation, cost and forecasting across many teams, mostly from code activity.
