For eng managers, team leads, and scrum masters on Jira

The weekly delivery check — done before standup, without opening Jira.

Someone has to check each week whether delivery is drifting — before standup, while there is still time to act. Doing that pass by hand in Jira is slow and easy to rush. Gabel runs it on a schedule and sends one brief with five signals and one clear next step to Slack or email.

Four weeks free, no credit card. Connect Jira and git in the app, pick your schedule, and your first brief runs on your board.

How it works

Replaces the weekly Jira sweep, not your stack.

What you do today

  • Open Jira and scroll the active sprint and backlog.
  • Wonder whether cycle time or bug volume is worse than last time you checked.
  • Check the pull request queue — or skip it altogether.
  • Walk into standup without a reliable view of what changed.

What Gabel will do for you

  • Five signals with clear thresholds and the week-over-week change.
  • Direct links to affected Jira stories and PRs when reviews fall behind.
  • One prioritized action for you to focus on this week.
  • A flag when last week’s fix didn’t actually move the number.

Team-level signals only — never used for individual developer scorecards.

Methodology

Predictable rules. Transparent thresholds.

No black-box scoring — each signal is a simple threshold on data you already have.

  • What we read — Jira issue metadata, sprint fields, status transitions, and pull request open / merge / review timestamps. The product does not fetch repository file contents or Jira description fields.
  • What we do not store from tickets or repos — source code, ticket descriptions, attachments, or end-customer PII from ticket bodies.
  • How credentials are handled — Jira, git, and Slack credentials live in AWS Parameter Store as encrypted parameters. They are not stored in our tenant database or in the browser app. You can revoke access anytime in the provider.
  • How it arrives — Slack incoming webhook or HTML email. Optional 12-week trend page opened from the signed-in app via a short-lived link.
    • Optional mid-week alert — covers work-in-progress and pull request lag only, silent when both are within target

Pricing

EUR 29 · USD 35 · CHF 29 per team, per month.

Flat per team — not per developer seat. Covers one Jira board, the repositories you connect, and any delivery destinations (Slack channel, email address). A second team or board is a second subscription.

The five signals

Five thresholds. Linked issues when they fire.

> 20% vs 3-month baseline

Cycle time drift

85th-percentile cycle time pulling away from its baseline over the previous three months, with the week-over-week change.

> 1.5× team size

Too much work in flight

Active work in progress exceeds 1.5× team size. Linked Jira keys for any item sitting 5+ days.

> 25% of completed work

Bug ratio rising

Share of bugs in completed work, plus the rework rate from issues that regressed out of Done.

Variance > 35%

Velocity inconsistency

Delivery across completed sprints is swinging. Names the outlier sprint with delivered-vs-committed counts; the in-flight sprint shows as a pace check, not noise.

> 2 calendar days

Pull request merge lag

Average open-to-merge time, slowest repos, count of PRs waiting 24+ hours for a first review, and the slowest merges.

Cross-signal

To Do

When several signals fire at once, Gabel picks the one to tackle first — with deep links to the slowest PRs when review lag is the bottleneck.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this an AI copilot or agent platform?

No. Gabel runs fixed thresholds and deterministic rules over Jira and git metadata. The narrative is templated from which signals fired and how the numbers moved — no open-ended chat, no autonomous agent. You read one brief, not a new workspace.

What makes this different from LinearB or Swarmia?

Those are dashboards you log into, usually priced per seat. Gabel is a single weekly brief pushed to your channel with one prioritized action — no charts to interpret, no per-seat math, no weekly login habit to build.

Do you require Jira?

Yes. All five signals are board-driven, so Jira Cloud with API access is required. Jira Server/Data Center, Linear, and Shortcut are not supported yet.

Does this work with GitHub or only Bitbucket?

Both. One git provider per subscription: a GitHub organization or a Bitbucket workspace.

Do we need to create a Slack bot?

No. Trials use a standard Slack incoming webhook to your channel. If webhooks are restricted in your workspace, email delivery works just as well. No OAuth app to build or approve.

Is the trial free? What happens after?

Four weeks free, no credit card. After the trial, EUR 29 / USD 35 / CHF 29 per team, per month if you opt in. Nothing converts automatically.

What data do you use, and how are credentials stored?

Issue and pull-request metadata only; credentials in AWS Parameter Store — see Methodology above.

Can we see a sample shaped to our board before committing?

Yes. Browse the product screens above, or send a test digest from the app after connecting your board. For a redacted sample before you connect anything, use the contact form.

Questions, custom setup, or anything else?

Most teams start straight in the app. If you need help, want a redacted sample before connecting Jira, or have a security or procurement question, send a note here.
