Your sprints drift.We catch it first.
Northset reads the signals between your tools and alerts the one person positioned to correct course.
Standup notes are in the doc. Two tickets moved to review last night.
I'll pick up the checkout ticket after the design sync.
Jordan's PR CHK-318 is 640 lines and has been open 3 days with no reviewer. PRs this size take about 2 days to review and revise, and the sprint closes in 2. Assign a reviewer today to land it.
Good catch — pinging the team now so it doesn't sit.

How it works
Know if you’re overcommitted before anyone pulls a ticket.
Checks commitment accuracy, unplanned work history, and carry-over risk.
Standup notes are in the doc. Two tickets moved to review last night.
I'll pick up the checkout ticket after the design sync.
Sprint kickoff
Sprint 15 is committed at 47 points. Team average is 38. Mid-sprint additions typically add 6 points. Recommend removing 15 points before kickoff to secure delivery.
Sprint kickoff
Alex has a PR from last sprint with unaddressed feedback, and 8 points of work in Sprint 15. Remove 2 points before kickoff to account for the outstanding work.
Good catch — pinging the team now so it doesn't sit.
Example
Sent before standup. While you can still change the plan.
Surface blockers while there’s still time to act.
Detects PR bottlenecks, scope creep impact, and live trajectory state.
Support escalated two more bugs overnight — I added them to Sprint 15.
Also pulled BILL-402 in, it's small.
Scope creep
Sprint 15 has taken on 11 unplanned points since kickoff, 42% above the committed scope. Two committed tickets now have no room left in the sprint. Drop or defer 8 points today to protect the commitment.
Fair — I'll move the two bug tickets to next sprint.
One message per signal. Sent to the right person, not the whole channel.
Turn sprint data into forward-looking recommendations.
Surfaces estimation patterns, recurring friction, and intervention effectiveness.

Sprint 12 close
3 tickets took more than 1.5x their estimated points to close this sprint and last. Estimation may be consistently off for complex work. Review these tickets before Sprint 13 planning.
Sprint 12 close
Unplanned additions averaged 6 points over the last 2 sprints, up from 4. Sprint 13 capacity has been adjusted to account for 6 points of unplanned work.

For managers
By the time they ask, you already have the answer.
Northset gives the manager an early, honest read on whether the team will hit its commitment, with the lead time to act on it.
Early enough to act on. You own the decision.

Sprint 15 is tracking behind its commitment with 4 days left. The gap is review wait time on two open PRs. Clear them this week and the team is back on track to deliver.
