# Smarter Sprint Heartbeats

Improvement · 2026-05-02

## Details

Sprints picked up a brain. Mid-sprint, the team checks itself against the goals and surfaces anything trending off-track. Blockers escalate to the leader instead of sitting on a card. Heartbeats now carry personal nudges to each member based on what they own, so the team keeps moving without you chasing anyone for an update.

## What changed

- Mid-sprint progress check against the team goals
- Blockers escalate to the team leader automatically
- Auto-review fires when the board has been quiet
- Personal heartbeat nudges per team member
