Put continuous improvement on autopilot
Working agreements give software teams the feedback loops they need to get a little bit better every day.
Metrics alone don’t help teams to improve
Working agreements put teams in control of how they want to work together. Whether you’re looking to set numeric targets or build healthy habits, there’s a working agreement for that.

Adopt best practices from high-performing teams
Work in progress, cross-team collaboration, review time, code quality — choose the areas you’d like to improve, and Swarmia will help you get there.
The working agreements and Slack notifications are super useful. They give our engineers the nudges they need when they’re juggling different priorities.
