Introducing Strome - A Smarter Way to Run Engineering Teams

Hi, I’m Piers. Over the years, I’ve led engineering teams through early growth phases and helped build tools that drive impact at companies like Caviar, DoorDash, and Mudflap. As an engineering leader, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges teams face in delivering consistent, meaningful work. My fascination with what makes great products and high-performing teams thrive has led me to create Strome—a tool designed to solve some of the most persistent issues in engineering management.

Why I Built Strome: My Vision for Engineering Management

Engineering teams often face three major challenges that slow down innovation and create frustration:

  1. Unclear Progress Visibility: Projects can stall or veer off course without early detection, leaving teams scrambling to realign.
  2. Inconsistent Delivery: It’s hard to consistently deliver value, especially in fast-moving environments with competing priorities.
  3. Lack of Predictive Insights: Teams rarely know when work will be done with confidence, making planning difficult and uncertain.

These problems are common across teams and organizations, but they’re also solvable with the right tools and insights. Strome is my attempt to address these challenges head-on by providing engineering managers and teams with clarity, predictability, and actionable insights.

What is Strome?

Think of Strome as your bird’s eye view of the entire engineering workflow and your trusty co-pilot for keeping projects on track. Strome integrates with tools you already use, like Linear, JIRA, and GitHub, and analyzes changes in real time. It provides continuous updates to help you and your team stay aligned and avoid surprises.

Why Strome is Different

  • Modern, Fast, and Intuitive: Strome is designed to be easy to use, with a clean, modern interface that delivers insights quickly.
  • Developer-Friendly: Strome isn’t just for managers—it’s built to support developers by providing insights they care about without adding extra overhead.
  • Data-Driven Analytics: No guesswork. Strome focuses purely on quantitative, actionable data to ensure teams stay informed and empowered.

Let’s Build the Future Together

Strome is more than just a tool—it’s a journey toward making engineering management smarter, faster, and more predictable. I’m excited to see how Strome evolves with your support, feedback, and ideas.
