For program, delivery & engineering leads running many projects at once
DevStory reads the delivery tools your teams already use, then writes the report your stakeholders expect — or answers whatever you ask about a project, with a link to the PR, ticket, or doc behind every line. Less time collecting. More time deciding.
What reporting actually costs you
Move the sliders to your own portfolio. This is collection and write-up time only — it doesn’t count the meetings that happen because the report was late or contested.
Chasing, reconciling and writing — your numbers, not our benchmark.
Ingest → one place → one click
GitHub or GitLab is the base and enough to start. Every other tool you connect — Jira, Linear, Trello, Notion, Confluence — adds another layer to the same picture, and the reports use whatever is there.
Click Generate — or any output on the right.
Different question, different report
A sample portfolio, wired the way a real workspace is: your projects on the left, the reports available for the one you picked in the middle, and the real output on the right — scrollable, exactly as it looks before you send it. These are examples, not the full list.
Not every answer needs a report
Acme Platform · Where the project stands, what to watch, and how fresh the numbers are.
Delivery is steady, but a third of the month went into one unstable area: billing. The fix that stops customers being charged twice is live. The safety net around it has already been reopened twice, so treat it as unfinished. Nothing else on this project is blocked.
| What | Why it is flagged | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| DEMO-102 Payment notification reliability | changed five times in three weeks — the fix is not holding | 65/100 |
| ENG-41 Company login (SSO) for enterprise customers | touches login and security | 45/100 |
| #83 Retrying failed payment notifications | touches payments and security | 45/100 |
Risk is scored 0–100 from how often work is redone and whether it touches money, login or customer data. It is a delivery signal, not a judgement about code quality.
The numbers above are counted on every sync. The written summary — shipped, in progress, risks, next — is generated when you ask for it. Save a version and it stays fixed, even after the next sync.
Pick a project, then a report — the example opens below.
Ask the project
Reports cover the questions you get every week. For everything else — the ones that arrive mid-meeting — ask in plain language and get an answer built from the same mapped work, with the evidence attached.
“Why did OAuth slip?” “Which projects are quiet?” “Who has touched billing this quarter?” The scope is whatever you point it at.
Answers cite the merged PR, ticket or doc they came from, so forwarding one doesn’t mean vouching for a black box.
When an answer is worth sending, save it as a frozen, shareable version — the numbers stay put after the next sync.
7 changes finished and 5 tickets closed on Acme Platform. The ones that matter:
7 items carried over, including DEMO-102 Making payment notifications reliable — open for four weeks, reopened twice.
Answers are built from the work itself, not from a chat about your code. Save one and it becomes a fixed, shareable report.
Setup, honestly
One repo host gets you reports on day one. Connecting the rest of the stack is what turns them into the full story — ticket links, spec drift, cross-tracker duplicates, complete timelines. Most teams do all of it in one sitting.
Start with GitHub or GitLab — equal bases, OAuth, read-only scopes, repos picked per project. Then add every planning and docs tool your teams actually use: Jira, Linear, Trello, Issues, Notion, Confluence. Each one you connect adds a layer the reports can use; skip one and that layer is simply missing.
~4 min for the base · ~10 min for a full stack · no engineer required
Completed changes, tickets and specs are grouped into features, each with a timeline, a risk score and rework signals. Anything DevStory isn’t sure about waits in a review queue instead of appearing in a report.
automatic · first sync ~5 min
Pick a window and a report, or just ask a question. Copy for Slack, export Markdown, print to PDF, or save a frozen version with a share link so Monday’s numbers still match on Thursday.
under 5 min for the whole portfolio · every cycle
Objection stack
In order of how often they stop the deal.
Do I have to roll this out to every team first?
Will it invent things I then have to defend?
Does it read our source code?
How is this different from asking an AI about our repo?
We’re mid-migration between Jira and Linear.
What does it cost, and what if it doesn’t stick?
Will it read like a robot wrote it?
Nine projects, one workspace — does it scale?

Testimonials
Delivery and engineering leads who used to assemble status by hand — and now send a report they can stand behind.
“Monday used to start with nine messages and end with a document nobody fully trusted. Now I read one page before the call, and the argument is about the decision instead of the numbers.”
≈ 12 hours a month back
“A director asked why something slipped. I sent the timeline instead of booking a meeting, and the thread ended there.”
Answered in minutes, not days
“We were mid-migration between two trackers and had been double-counting delivery for a quarter without knowing. That stopped the week we connected both.”
One timeline across both tools
One repo starts it; your whole stack completes it
Connect the tools your teams already work in, let the first sync finish, and read the status report for a project you already know. If it doesn’t tell you something you’d forward, you’ve lost ten minutes.
