About Troy McAlpin
Product teams are drowning in tools. Some think AI\'s the culprit. I see a coordination problem.After leading xMatters from 0 to $240M exit, I kept noticing how teams actually work-> 15+ tools creating handoff hell instead of handshakes-> Jira taking 47 clicks to update 3 stories (yes, I counted when we had Jira)-> Developers waiting for permission to flip feature flags-> AI tools arriving with promise, leaving some teams more stressedNow building Atono - where cross-functional teams gather to build great software, together. Think campfire, not assembly line. Living Stories that maintain context. Feature flags developers control directly. One calm place instead of five frantic ones.We named it Atono (unstressed) for a reason. Great software isn\'t passed along - it\'s built hand in hand.The pattern I see: Teams buying tools to go faster. Some going slower. All getting more stressed.Our approach: Workflow intelligence that actually reduces cognitive load.Previously: CEO at xMatters (acquired by Everbridge 2021)Learned: Empowered teams need unified workflows, not more handoffs.Drinking our own champagne - we use Atono to build Atono. 80% faster than our old setup, and infinitely less stressful. Interested if your team wants:1. To move from handoffs to handshakes2. Developers who can ship without permission slips3. One calm platform instead of tool chaos4. To see what\'s actually shipping (no archaeology required)Let\'s connect! 🦫
