Why Cairn
Three things that stay true as the team grows.
Most tools are great at one of these and quietly give up on the rest by the time you reach thirty people.
One plan, not three
The roadmap, the sprint board and the release list are views of the same items. Move a task and the roadmap moves with it. Nobody reconciles anything on a Friday.
Fast enough to live in
Every screen loads from a local cache and syncs in the background. Keyboard-first, sub-100ms, and it keeps working on a train.
Progress you can see
Cycle reviews write themselves from what actually shipped. Stakeholders get a page, not a meeting.
How it works
From a rough idea to a shipped release
No process to adopt. Cairn follows the way teams already work and fills in the bookkeeping.
Capture
Drop ideas, bugs and requests into the inbox from Slack, email or the app. Triage takes minutes because everything arrives in one place.
Plan
Group work into projects and cycles. Set a target date and Cairn shows what fits, what slips and who is overloaded before you commit.
Ship
Work moves through the board, releases assemble themselves from finished items, and the changelog is published with one click.
The difference
Built for the team, not for the report.
Plenty of tools produce beautiful executive dashboards while the people doing the work keep a second list somewhere else. Cairn starts from the second list.
The usual way
- A roadmap slide that is out of date by Tuesday
- Status meetings to find out what happened
- Tickets nobody updates because it is slow
- A separate doc for every release
With Cairn
- Roadmap and board are the same data
- A cycle review page, generated from shipped work
- Fast enough to update in the moment
- Releases and changelog produced from finished items
Teams that switched
“We deleted the planning spreadsheet in week two. The roadmap finally matches what engineering is doing.”
“The cycle review replaced our Monday status meeting. Forty-five minutes back for eleven people, every week.”
“It is the first tool the designers use without being asked. That tells you most of what you need to know.”
Give the plan somewhere to live.
Import your backlog from a CSV or your current tool, invite the team, and run the next cycle in Cairn. Free for teams up to five.
