Taro stops deadlines from slipping before they ever do

TARO analyses your team's active tasks and sprint capacity, then suggests exact reassignments to balance overloaded members before a deadline slips.

Scan

TARO reads every task and every member's capacity

TARO maintains a live view of every team member's active task count, estimated effort, due dates, and sprint commitments simultaneously. It's not a snapshot taken at sprint planning it's a continuous read that updates every time a task is added, moved, or completed.

Detect

Identifies who's overloaded, who has room, and what's at risk

TARO flags every member who is carrying more than they can realistically deliver before the sprint ends and pairs that with the members who have available capacity right now. It also surfaces which specific tasks are deadline-critical, so the rebalancing focuses on what matters most.

Suggest

Exact reassignments. Not vague advice.

TARO doesn't tell you Marcus is overloaded consider rebalancing. It tells you exactly which task to move, who to move it to, and why that person is the right fit based on their available capacity, their skill match for the task, and the deadline risk of leaving it where it is.

Apply

Accept all, pick some, or ignore. Your call.

TARO's suggestions are a starting point, not a mandate. Accept all recommendations in one click, cherry-pick the ones that make sense, or dismiss them entirely. Every reassignment is logged, every decision is tracked, and the capacity view updates in real time as changes are applied.

Why Workload Distribution

Six reasons teams never go back

When TARO flags an overload on Tuesday, your lead can fix it before the deadline slips on Friday. That's the difference between visibility and surprise..

Catch overloads before deadlines slip

Catch overloads before deadlines slip

TARO identifies capacity problems when there's still time to act not after the missed deadline is already in the retrospective. Tuesday visibility beats Friday surprises every sprint.

Exact reassignments, not vague warnings

Exact reassignments, not vague warnings

TARO names the task, names the person to move it to, and explains why. Leads stop spending their morning working out who can absorb what TARO has already done that thinking.

Balanced teams ship more consistently

Balanced teams ship more consistently

Consistently overloaded engineers burn out. Consistently underutilised ones disengage. TARO keeps the load even across the sprint not just at planning, but all the way through delivery.

Skill match, not just headcount

Skill match, not just headcount

TARO doesn't just find the person with the most free capacity. It matches tasks to people who have the right skills and ownership so the person receiving the task is actually the right choice.

Live capacity view across the whole sprint

Live capacity view across the whole sprint

The capacity dashboard updates every time a task is added, moved, or completed. Leads always have the current picture not a stale spreadsheet from Monday morning's planning session.

Suggestions, not mandates

Suggestions, not mandates

Questions & answers

Everything you need to know about Workload Distribution

Common questions from engineering leads, scrum masters, and PMs evaluating TARO's capacity management.

No nothing moves without your approval. TARO surfaces suggestions and waits for a human decision. You can accept all suggestions in one click, accept individual ones, or dismiss the entire set. This is intentional: workload decisions involve context that TARO doesn't always have team dynamics, upcoming leave, undocumented priorities. TARO brings the data; the lead makes the call. If you want to accept all suggestions in one click after reviewing them, you can but the click is always yours to make.
