For engineering leaders
You need to know what’s actually happening across squads without micromanaging.
Recognise the problem
The Jira board doesn’t tell the full story.
As a VP of Engineering or CTO, you're responsible for delivery across multiple squads. But the signal you need is scattered — across sprint boards, retro notes, Slack threads, and the verbal context that only surfaces in meetings you can't all attend.
The Jira board shows you tickets. It doesn't show you that the team took on unplanned tech debt in yesterday's standup, or that the architect flagged a scalability concern in the design review, or that a key dependency shifted in the product sync. To get the real picture, you either attend too many meetings — undercutting your teams' autonomy — or you rely on secondhand summaries that strip out the nuance. Neither works at scale.
How In Parallel helps
See the signal, not just the board.
Sprint decisions in the plan
Sprint planning decisions, retro outcomes, and standup commitments feed directly into the execution plan. You see what teams actually decided, not just what got ticketed.
Technical debt visibility
Technical debt conversations, capacity discussions, and architecture decisions are captured and connected to the plan — not lost in meeting notes no one reads.
Roadmap-execution alignment
See the alignment between the product roadmap and engineering execution in real time. When priorities shift in a product meeting, you see the impact on engineering immediately.
Less meeting time for engineers
Engineers spend less time in status meetings and alignment sessions. When the plan updates itself, the meetings that existed only for information transfer become unnecessary.

A typical week with In Parallel
Monday. You check In Parallel before your leadership sync. Across six squads, you can see that four are executing on plan. One team pivoted direction after their Friday retro — they identified a performance bottleneck that changes the sprint scope. Another team has a growing misalignment between their stated commitments and actual velocity.
You don't need to attend their standups to know this. In Parallel captured the retro decisions and connected them to the execution plan. You reach out to the team lead whose velocity is drifting — not to micromanage, but to ask if they need help unblocking.
At the product-engineering sync, the PM proposes pulling in a feature from next quarter. In Parallel shows you the capacity impact across affected squads in real time. You make the call with data, not gut feel. The decision updates the plan immediately — every affected team sees it before their next standup.
Lead engineering, not status meetings.
