Optimize your workflow
Every team works differently. That’s why Atono workflows are designed to balance customization with measurability, giving teams the freedom to align their workflows with how they actually work while still gaining clear, actionable insights into continuous improvement opportunities.
Tailored to your team
Atono lets teams customize workflows to fit their unique ways of working—whether influenced by story granularity, team structure, or delivery speed. With this flexibility, teams can refine and optimize processes over time, ensuring workflows evolve as needs change and that work progresses naturally and efficiently.
Built-in measurability
Even with customized workflows, Atono keeps tracking dependable and consistent. Workflow steps are organized into categories, making performance insights reliable across teams, no matter how workflows are customized. This structure helps teams monitor key metrics like average cycle time—the average time items of similar type and size spend in progress—which is vital for optimizing processes, forecasting timelines, and improving delivery.
Key features
Customizable workflows
Create new steps, reorder them, recategorize, and change colors to match your team’s needs—all in real-time, without complicated workflow migrations. This flexibility lets teams build processes that truly reflect how they work.
Cycle time tracking
Track the time each item spends in progress, providing insights into workflow pace while supporting forecasts, release management, and process optimization—all without rigid processes. Teams can also incorporate story sizing in cycle time calculations for added precision.
Average cycle time reports
Get a visual overview of average cycle times for stories and bugs over time to identify trends and uncover opportunities for improvement.
Projected completion dates
Estimate when backlog items are likely to be completed based on past performance, helping with prioritization and keeping projects on track. Reorder backlog items to ensure critical items are completed before their deadlines.
Exclude outliers
Mark unusual cases as outliers to prevent them from skewing performance metrics in cycle time reporting.
Staleness indicators
Spot items that have significantly exceeded expected cycle times in specific steps, helping catch bottlenecks before they cause delays.
Restore to default
Reset workflows to the default to maintain consistency with organizational standards if desired.
