Socratic

Socratic is an AI-powered project management and planning tool that's designed to help software teams work more effectively. By infusing Jira and git data with AI, Socratic offers real-time insights that inform better planning and better work health.

Socratic helps teams overcome the shortcomings of traditional program management, which can involve tedious queries, multiple tools and roll-ups. Instead, it offers a smarter, more streamlined way to plan, track and measure work. The platform offers immediate answers to critical questions, such as when projects will be done, how long new work will take and where teams should focus their attention.

Among Socratic's features are:

• Instant Forecasts: Socratic's forecasts are based on historical data and offer intelligent estimates for project completion dates and new work duration.
• Work Health Insights: See which projects are taking longer than expected, team capacity and where work needs to be improved.
• Real-time Roadmap Alignment: Ensure engineering reality is aligned with product goals across the organization.
• Code Analytics: Monitor code review, merge and throughput metrics with integration with Git.
• Customizable Views: Create views for teams, locations or types of work to see progress and health.
• Monte Carlo Simulation: This forecasting approach simulates different scenarios to predict likely outcomes.
• Security: SOC 2 certified, meaning it meets industry leading security standards.

Socratic works with a variety of frameworks, including Lean and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), so teams can plan and track work the way they like. The tool also offers a better user experience with a clean interface that makes it easy to explore and take action.

Pricing isn't clearly disclosed, but the company says it's designed to consolidate tool stacks and avoid per-developer or per-Jira-user pricing. You can request a demo to see the features and pricing in more detail.

With AI processing of Jira and git data, Socratic helps teams automate their workflows, reduce manual labor and make data-driven decisions to increase productivity and delivery speed.
