The daily overhead that slows managers down

Spending 30+ minutes every morning chasing updates in Slack

Blockers buried in wall-of-text messages — discovered too late

No reliable data to back up performance conversations

Manual aggregation of team status for leadership reports

Team members submitting updates in different formats

How Strova helps

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

See all updates in 2 minutes

The DSM Board shows every team member's status — pending, posted, on leave — with Yesterday / Today / Blockers for each entry.

Blockers surface the same day

The AI flags impediments during standup collection and surfaces them on your dashboard before the day is over.

KPI scores without spreadsheets

Every team member is scored daily across task completion, planning quality, communication, and timeliness — automatically.

No fixed standup meeting

Team members submit asynchronously. You review the board whenever it suits you — not at 9 AM sharp.

Consistent update format

The AI structures every submission into the same format, regardless of how the team member writes. No more parsing wall-of-text updates.

Mark team members on leave

Quickly set a member as 'On Leave' from the board — they won't show as pending and your coverage stats stay accurate.

Spend less time chasing updates. More time building great teams.
