Not using KATA would be chaos.
"We recently replaced Notion with KATA and it has quickly become the heart of our R&D...we are in for the long run. Not using KATA would be chaos."

Built for how
work really gets done
in engineering

The best engineering leaders don’t manage boards, tickets or code. They lead Teams, Projects & Initiatives.

Unfortunately, existing solutions promote tool-specific activity without regard for how this maps to real-life engineering workflows.

So much time is wasted extracting relevant progress insights from the tools that there is no time left to lead.

And organizations can no longer afford to hire their way around this problem.

It’s time for a better way.

Get back to leading your team. Let KATA manage the rest.

The tool and human activity data to debug team & project progress. The context, insights, & automated workflows to help improve it. Never more than a click away.

KATA hands you all the information to debug issues, remove blockers, and keep the team moving forward. Navigate from a status update, to a PR, to a relevant Slack thread in minutes. No meetings, check-ins or disruptions required.

Debug teams, projects, and initiatives. All in one place.

Start with Teams. Scale to Projects. Organize by Initiative.

Step 1: Debug your Teams

The Second Screen for Engineering Managers

Teams is your always-on portal into what’s happening across your team. Connect your tools, tell KATA who's on your team, and it’ll take care of the rest. No more time wasted chasing down ad-hoc updates, writing daily check-ins, drafting weekly status updates, or sorting through tools to see how things are going on a key deliverable.

KATA does it all for you, automatically tracking and generating AI-powered summaries of all the information that you and your team need to stay on top of what’s going on at whatever level you need it.

Step 2: Debug your Projects

All the insights & context to keep projects on track, no more than a click away

When work being done by your team gets more complicated, needs to be broken into phases or milestones, has dependencies, or starts to cross team boundaries, KATA Projects will help you tame the chaos. Just create or import a project, attach artifacts, invite team members, and start posting events or check-ins. Within minutes you’ve got a single source of truth for what’s going on with any project. Navigate from a status update, to a PR, to a relevant Slack thread without leaving KATA.

Step 3: Debug your initiatives

See project portfolio alignment, dependencies, and bottlenecks all in one place 

When you scale to many projects, KATA scales with you. KATA Groups allows you to flexibly organize them by company initiatives, goals or departments. Demonstrate a visible throughline from the tools where the work is happening, to how it's organized by project, to why it matters. Surface cross-project dependencies and address bottlenecks early with auto-generated updates pushed directly to Slack.

10x better

At Shopify, we obsessed about staying fast as we grew. So much so that we built our own internal tool to create a social protocol for work. Everyone, from the intern to the CEO, used the same tool to see who’s working on what and why. It made us 10x better.
KATA is the new, improved version of that tool. Now available for everyone.
