Congratulations, Arnaud! I really like the idea of your tool. I was using many tools to track dev productivity in the past – with all kind of charts and plots. Somehow, I never got answer to the question "what do we really spend time on? Is this mostly bug fixing, delivering new features, and how does it affect our KPIs?". I like that Echoes focuses exactly on that.

I've got one question – would it be possible in the future to generate some kind of alerts for the managers when for example the technological debt is growing above some threshold?

Thank you! We do get asked about alerts, both on metrics (as in your example) and on allocation (for example when the activity is significantly and durably diverging from the current expectations).

We haven’t started work on this but it’s very likely to happen at some point indeed.
