Drop your entire backlog on TARO. It re orders every task with AI reasoning surfacing what to build first based on due dates, dependencies, and strategic impact. No more backlog grooming meetings.
TARO reads every task in your backlog and produces a re ordered list with the AI reasoning behind every position shown.
Ingest
TARO accepts your backlog however it arrives paste tasks directly, import via CSV, pull from an existing TARO project, or connect via API. Every task is ingested, deduplicated, and parsed for title, description, existing labels, and any due dates or dependency links you've already set. TARO starts scoring the moment it has the data.
Score
TARO doesn't rank tasks on a single signal. It evaluates every task across three distinct axes, each of which captures a different dimension of what makes something worth doing now versus later. The three scores are combined into a single composite priority rank with each axis's contribution shown in the reasoning.
Rank
TARO returns your backlog re ordered from highest to lowest priority with the AI reasoning behind every ranking shown beneath each task. Not just a number. A plain language explanation of exactly why this task sits where it does, so the team understands the logic and can push back with context if something is wrong.
Adapt
Priorities don't stay fixed. New tasks get added. Deadlines shift. Blockers appear. TARO re scores and re ranks the backlog in real time whenever any signal changes so the order your team sees on Monday is still accurate by Thursday without anyone manually re grooming it. The meeting that used to produce the ranking is replaced by the ranking that's already there.
Backlog grooming consumes an average of 3 to 5 hours per sprint per team. Auto Prioritization produces a better result in seconds and updates it automatically every time something changes.
Whether your backlog has 20 tasks or 200, TARO scores and re orders the whole thing immediately. The time it used to take to groom manually is now the time it takes to open the ranked view.
Every task's rank comes with a plain language explanation. Teams know why #1 is #1 so they can push back with context, approve confidently, or override with full understanding of what they're changing.
Tasks blocking multiple downstream items float to the top regardless of their own deadline. TARO maps the full dependency graph and factors chain depth into every score so the most unblocking work always ranks highest.
Overdue tasks immediately move to the top. Tasks due this sprint rank above those due next quarter. TARO turns your due dates into an automatic urgency signal no manual reprioritisation required when a deadline changes.
A task tagged as an investor milestone or a customer facing launch item ranks higher than an identically scheduled internal chore. TARO reads context labels, project tags, descriptions to infer what actually matters.
Every new task, deadline change, or new blocker triggers an automatic re rank. The prioritized backlog your team relies on is always current not a static artefact from the last grooming session that's already three days out of date.

TARO processes any size backlog and returns a prioritised list in seconds.
Engineering leads, product managers, and founders all bring different opinions to a backlog. Auto Prioritization gives them a shared starting point built from signals everyone can see so prioritisation conversations start from data instead of starting from scratch every sprint.

Faster sprint planning
Engineering leads open sprint planning with TARO's ranked backlog already in front of them. The top items are there because of real signals deadlines, blockers, strategic weight not because whoever spoke first in the last meeting argued hardest for their favourite task. The conversation shifts from "what should we do?" to "do we agree with this order?"
Once your backlog is ranked, TARO keeps the intelligence running predicting, flagging, and distributing work across the full sprint lifecycle.
Predicts your project's actual finish date accounting for velocity, known blockers, and sprint history. Get predicted date, variance, and confidence level before you commit.
Scans for overdue tasks, stalled workflows, velocity drops, and blocked dependencies then surfaces exact action recommendations before risks become incidents.
Analyses sprint capacity and suggests exact reassignments to balance overloaded members before a deadline slips with one click to apply all changes.
Type one sentence. TARO generates a fully structured task title, description, priority, due date, assignee in under 3 seconds. No forms, no context switching.

Common questions from product managers, engineering leads, and founders evaluating TARO's prioritisation engine.
TARO maps the full dependency graph for your backlog and scores each task's downstream impact how many other tasks can't start until this one is done, and how deep that chain runs. A task that directly blocks 4 others scores higher than one that blocks only 1. A task at the root of a 3-level dependency chain (it blocks Task A, which blocks Tasks B and C, which block Tasks D and E) scores higher than one with a single direct dependent. TARO also factors in blocker age a task that has been blocking others for 3 days gets its dependency score increased each day it remains unresolved, reflecting the compounding cost of leaving it unaddressed.
