Sherpas

What is Sherpas? 🚀 Sherpas is a modern team management platform built for software teams. It helps engineering leaders, Scrum Masters, and project managers gain real-time visibility into their team’s productivity, implement best practices, and automate routine processes — all while integrating seamlessly with your favorite tools like GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Jira, ClickUp, and more. 🔍 Key Features & Benefits 📊 1. Smart Activity Summaries (7, 14, and 30 Days) Sherpas automatically generates digestible reports that show what your team has accomplished over the past week, two weeks, or month. These summaries highlight progress, blockers, inactive tasks or PRs, and help identify trends — perfect for standups, retros, or stakeholder updates. 🛠️ 2. Actionable Engineering Practices To keep your team aligned and efficient, Sherpas offers a set of configurable rules: 🏷️ Default Branch Name – Protect important branches to prevent unwanted changes. 🧩 Limit WIP (Work in Progress) – Restrict active tasks to boost focus and efficiency. 👻 Without VCS Events – Notifies about contributors with no activity in VCS. 🧱 PR Size – Limit Pull Request size for easier code reviews. 🔐 Protected Branch – Prevent accidental deletion of important branches. 💤 Stale Task – Track old tasks that haven't been updated or completed. 🕸️ Stale PR – Tracks inactive pull requests to prevent delays 👤 3. Contributor Profiles with Social Integration Each contributor’s profile can be enriched with connected accounts from GitHub, GitLab, Slack, ClickUp, and Jira. This provides a full picture of activity across platforms — no more tool-hopping! 🔄 🔗 4. GitLab & Slack Integration Enhancements We’ve added full GitLab support and improved the Slack integration 🧵.
