The interactive demo

E/E Solution Tracker

A live, high-level board for one Program Increment of a scaled automotive E/E programme. The same delivery board, read four ways.

Orientation

A board that shows where scaled work quietly fails

Most delivery tooling shows the work inside teams: the boards, the stories, the commitments. The dangerous part of a scaled programme is the boundary between teams, and the work that never made it onto a board at all. This tracker keeps the usual Capability, Feature and Story hierarchy, then lets you switch lenses to surface four failure modes that prose alone struggles to make tangible.

Demo data

Fed by an illustrative dataset, not a live system. The tracker is built against the Atlassian Jira Cloud REST API and can read live Capabilities, Features, Stories, sprints and assignees from a production board. The current PI and sprint update automatically from today’s date. To see your own programme, open the demo and use Load your own board to drop in a JSON export.

What it surfaces

Four lenses, four ways delivery drifts

Each lens is a diagnostic from the Drift framework, applied to live delivery rather than to a workshop.

Side Door

Unplanned intake

Work that bypassed PI Planning, flagged against the committed plan, with what it displaced and how many people it pulled in. The goal is not to shut the door, it is to see what it carries.

Boundaries

Dependencies and interface gaps

Links between teams, with interface gaps drawn in alert. The story is the implementation. The dependency is the interface. The boundary is where systems break.

Drift

Planned versus actual

The committed plan against what is actually being worked. Where they diverge is the drift: committed work that stalled, and active work nobody planned.

Capacity

Over-allocation and hidden owners

People spread across too many items, committed work with nobody on it, and single-owner risk on safety-relevant stories. Both an empty name field and a single name are single points of failure.

Self-assessment

The Drift Check

The book's five-question diagnostic for the distance between what your organisation says it does and what it does in practice.

Rate five statements, on information, decisions, commitments, improvement and knowledge, and get your Drift reading. It runs entirely in your browser and stores nothing; the conversation about the gap matters more than the score. The same check ships as a printable worksheet and as drift-cli for the terminal, kept local by design: a score that gets reported upward stops measuring the gap and starts producing it.

The thinking behind it

Where this comes from

The lenses are the diagnostics from the Drift framework, the spine of my book Leading Agile When No One Agrees. These tools make the framework tangible: the same questions a leader should be able to ask of a live programme. Want this read on your own delivery, or a version that loads your own board? That is the work I do.
