TARO identifies exactly where work is stalling which stages have too many in progress tasks, who's a single point of failure, and which handoffs are breaking down then prescribes fixes.
TARO maps every task across your pipeline, classifies every bottleneck by type, and prescribes the exact action to clear each one.
Map
TARO builds a live map of your entire workflow counting how many tasks sit at each stage, how long each task has been there, what the normal WIP limit for each stage should be, and how the current distribution compares to that baseline. The map updates continuously as tasks move, so the picture is always current not a screenshot from Monday's standup.
Detect
Bottlenecks don't all look the same. A stage overload is a capacity problem. A single point of failure is a people problem. A broken handoff is a process problem. TARO classifies every detected bottleneck into the right type so the prescription that follows actually addresses the root cause not just the symptom.
Prescribe
Every identified bottleneck comes with a specific, actionable prescription not a generic suggestion to "reduce WIP" or "add capacity." TARO names the stage, names the person creating the dependency, names the specific tasks to move, and tells you the downstream impact of each fix so you act on what matters most first.
Track
Acting on a prescription marks it as in progress but TARO continues monitoring the stage. The bottleneck is only marked resolved when the actual flow data confirms it: the WIP count drops, the handoff delay falls back to baseline, the single point of failure is no longer the sole approver. TARO measures outcomes, not intentions.
The sprint that delivered on time and the one that missed by three days usually looked identical on day 5. TARO makes the difference visible on day 2.
When 14 tasks pile into In Review, the sprint is already in trouble most teams just can't see it yet. TARO flags the overload the moment it crosses the WIP threshold, not after it's swallowed three days of delivery time.
Every team has someone who is the only person who can approve, review, or deploy something critical. TARO identifies that person, quantifies the dependency, and surfaces the risk before their absence becomes a sprint stopper.
A handoff that takes 2.4 days when it should take 4 hours is a process failure that most teams never measure. TARO compares every transition to the team's baseline and flags deviations before the slow handoff becomes the new normal.
There is no generic advice in TARO's prescriptions. Every fix names the specific stage, person, or transition that's broken and the specific action to address it. "Reduce WIP" is not a prescription. "Add Sarah K. as co reviewer on the auth tasks" is.
TARO measures whether the fix actually worked by tracking the stage's WIP count and handoff time after the prescription is applied. You don't just mark a bottleneck resolved. TARO confirms it by watching the flow data recover.
If In Review stalls in the same way every sprint, TARO surfaces the pattern so the fix isn't reactive every time but becomes a permanent process change. Recurring bottlenecks stop recurring when TARO makes them visible across sprint history.

Engineering leads check the bottleneck dashboard at the start of each day. When 14 tasks are piling up in In Review and one engineer is the sole reviewer on 11 of them, TARO has already named the fix. The standup that used to surface the problem now confirms the action already taken to fix it.
TARO's intelligence covers every dimension of delivery from where work is stalling to when it will finish.
Scans for overdue tasks, 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.
Predicts your project's actual finish date accounting for velocity, blockers, and sprint history. Predicted date, variance, and confidence before you commit.
Type one sentence. TARO generates a fully structured task title, description, priority, due date, assignee in under 3 seconds. No forms, no clicks.

Common questions from engineering leads, scrum masters, and PMs evaluating TARO's flow analysis.
TARO measures the transition time between consecutive stages specifically, how long a task sits in a completed state at one stage before someone at the next stage picks it up. It builds a baseline from your sprint history: if tasks historically move from QA ready to engineer in progress in under 4 hours, that's the norm. A handoff that takes 2.4 days against a 4 hour norm is flagged as broken. The flag shows the current transition time, the historical baseline, and the specific tasks sitting in limbo so the fix target is immediately clear. Broken handoffs are distinct from stage overloads: the work has technically "moved" from one stage, but nobody has picked it up at the next one.
