How we use Swarmia at Swarmia

Swarmia, a tool designed to optimize engineering workflows, is used by its own engineering organization to enhance collaboration and efficiency, particularly as the company has expanded across multiple product teams. The platform adapts to each team's unique workflows, offering features like Slack notifications and a pull requests view to streamline the code review process, which currently averages a cycle time of 29 hours. Swarmia facilitates cross-team collaboration by automatically notifying relevant teams of changes to shared code through GitHub integrations. It also provides an investment balance view to track how engineering time is allocated, helping teams maintain focus on customer-facing goals versus internal improvements. The initiatives view and retrospectives assist in tracking strategic projects and improving processes, while developer experience surveys offer qualitative insights into tool effectiveness and areas needing attention. Swarmia's flexibility allows teams to tailor its use to their specific needs, and the company offers a 14-day free trial for those interested in exploring its potential benefits.
