Workstreams

Lead teams to success. Build a shared context for how value is delivered across your organization. Base decisions and success on context provided by strategy.

Give everyone a clear understanding of their responsibilities to maximize productivity.

DevStride empowers teams to get work done efficiently by organizing initiatives into cascading Workstreams that are neatly categorized for optimum output. Work Items are added to these Workstreams, helping the organization break down complex initiatives into manageable tasks. Teams can jointly tackle these tasks in Workspaces, streamlining conversations and resources specific to each Workstream or Item. And when it comes to keeping track of it all, our powerful search and management feature ensures you can swiftly locate and manage work across your entire Workstream Map. Navigate the platform with ease, filtering Work Items by individual, project, status, or team.

Make work clear and simple

Organize work into Workstreams

In DevStride, a Workstream is a specific component of a larger program or initiative. Workstreams are composed of related tasks aimed at achieving a particular result. They are often based on criteria such as a product, service, project stage, or organizational team.

Add Work Items to Workstreams

Workstreams simplify project management by breaking down the project into smaller, more manageable Work Items. Breaking projects down into small Work Items improves visibility, coordination, and project execution. This is particularly useful in complex projects that involve many interconnected tasks and diverse teams.

Collaborate together in Workspaces

Workspaces are where users collaborate and work in DevStride. Workspaces remove complexity and disruption by unifying the people, tools, and resources needed to get items done. Workspaces scope conversations and assets to the appropriate item level or workstream level in your Map.

Easily search and manage Work Items

Filter Work Items by any segment to easily locate and manage work across your entire Workstream Map. These are especially helpful when dealing with large amounts of data. You can filter work items by any segment of work, including by individual, project, status, or team.
