Dear reader,
Every tool your teams use tracks what they do. None of them tell you whether it mattered. We built Performalise because we kept watching good teams find that out too late.
We have both spent our careers inside product and technology organisations, Allison coaching critical digital programmes for government and finance, Josef running strategy at BMW and advising financial services leaders at Gartner. Different worlds. The same review meeting, over and over: velocity up, burndown perfect, every metric green. Three weeks later the product misses. Why didn't we know sooner?
The uncomfortable answer is that someone always did. The people closest to the work saw it coming. The signal existed. It just dissolved somewhere between the standup and the boardroom.
So here is what Performalise is, in one sentence.
Everything else is mechanism. It plugs into wherever your teams already work and reads what they actually say and do, in standups, tickets, commits and deploys, instead of what someone typed into a status field afterwards. Every goal maps back to a company objective, so work that doesn't deliver becomes obvious in week one, not at the release when you've already paid for it. Yesterday the team committed to X; today your coach saw they shipped Y. That gap, said versus did, is the number every manager wants and no dashboard can give them. Coaching stays with the team, through Hans or Lotte. Only drift from the goal, and the blockers a team cannot clear itself, travel up to you.
We think this matters more now, not less.
A warning, because we would rather say it now than after a sprint. Performalise is not for everyone. If you want individual productivity scores, we measure patterns, not people, and we will not build them. If you want a dashboard and no coach, you would be paying for reports. If you measure success in story points and tickets rather than in what customers use, the signal will keep disagreeing with your scoreboard. The full list is on our pricing page, and we mean every line.
If none of that applies to you, we would love to show you what your own teams' signal looks like. Thirty minutes, your tools, your data.
P.S. Ask the teams first. If they don't want coaching, don't buy this. If they do, we promise it will feel like a senior coach who reads the room, not a report that reads the tickets.
