Why I built SRP

I didn’t set out to build another project management tool. There are enough of those. I set out to kill the management nobody needs: the check-ins, the status-chasing, the meeting you run just to find out what’s behind. And to help teams keep their rhythm and momentum.

For years, the rhythm of running projects looked the same no matter what tool I was using. Monday morning, get everyone in a room, or a call, and go around the table: what are you working on, what’s blocked, what’s slipping. By the time we’d finished, we knew what was behind. The problem is that “by the time we’d finished” was already too late. The thing that slipped had been slipping for days. The meeting didn’t catch it. The meeting just told me it had already happened.
