Build a healthier, more balanced engineering organization

Leading an engineering organization is a balancing act. Swarmia gives you the visibility to make the right investment decisions every time.

Slice and dice data in different ways

Whether you’d like to see how much time teams have spent on roadmap work vs. bugs, planned work vs. unplanned work, or initiative A vs. initiative B, Swarmia can give you the answer in seconds.

Create multiple investment breakdowns to look at the same data through different lenses.

Quickly spot worrying trends

If you feel like your team is spending too much time on keeping the lights on, you’re probably right.

Swarmia gives you the data you need to start critical conversations in the organization — whether that’s about reducing technical debt or investing in improving the test suite.

Understand the real cost of engineering work

Add the average fully loaded cost per engineer to Swarmia to see how much money each epic or initiative has cost you over a period of time.

This additional visibility can help you prioritize the right projects and types of work.

Investment balance is something we check monthly. We want to spend 75-80% of our time on roadmap work, and with Swarmia, we know we’re there.
