The situation
A software team's day is spread over a task board, a chat thread, a spreadsheet of hours and somebody's memory of who is on leave. Managers find out about a blocker when a deadline slips. We built Orbit to hold all of it in one place, then rebuilt it so many companies can use it at once, each in a private space of its own.
What it does, by who is using it
- Every project's status and risk on one screen
- A management board for goals and decisions
- Hours, productivity and blockers as reports
