Tracking work isn't the same as delivering it. Import your data from Excel or any work management tool, and Avium turns it into one live view — what's in flight, whether you can deliver it, and where it's at risk. Avium Signals detects it from your real data; Avium Intelligence turns it into a briefing you can act on — so the numbers are never invented. Built for VPs, engineering managers, scrum masters, and agile coaches.
Engineering managers fly blind for weeks at a time. Your work management tool shows tickets. Spreadsheets show capacity (when someone remembers to update them). Real answers — who's overloaded, where the team's stuck, whether you'll ship — live in a head somewhere or get cobbled together the morning of the executive review.
Your data flows into Avium Signals — deterministic detection on the numbers you already have — and Avium Intelligence turns it into one grounded, plain-language briefing. The outcome: See the work, Plan the capacity, Catch the risk.
Avium is built for the people who actually have to answer "where are we?" — whether you're managing the team, running the sprints, owning the delivery date, or briefing the executives.
Three things every engineering manager needs to know. Three views that always tell the truth, updated as your data changes.
Tools that show you nice dashboards aren't rare. Tools that get out of your way, let you fix the problem, and run their intelligence on rules you can trust — those are.
Eight views, one data plane. Built for the engineering manager who needs answers without flipping between tabs.
We respect every tool on this list — but only one of them is built specifically for the engineering manager's daily questions.
