Jellyfish
Good dashboards and reports for execs and product leaders but lacking in operational improvement tools.
- Standard metrics and dashboards
- No workflow automation
- No developer coaching
Higher level focus limits impact on operational excellence.
- Blind spots in processes
- Limited tools for platform engineering and DevOps teams.
- No coaching tools
- Limited in the ability to tailor the experience to individual requirements.
No gitStream equivalent. You are on your own to find a solution - acquire another tool or build-your-own.
No tools to help platform engineers and DevOps teams implement workflow automation, drive consistency, and scale best practices.
No standardized way to assess and improve professional development across the organization.
Another missed opportunity to drive operational excellence at all levels of the organization.
