About
Stepsize is an AI-powered project management tool specifically designed for engineering teams to track technical debt, manage sprints, and improve code quality. Unlike general project management tools like Jira or Asana that focus on task tracking, Stepsize automatically surfaces technical debt from your codebase by integrating with your version control system and analyzing code changes, pull requests, and issue tracker data. It provides sprint health analysis that shows how technical debt affects velocity, code review insights that identify recurring issues across your team, and automated standup reports generated from actual code activity rather than manual updates. Stepsize AI continuously monitors your codebase for quality issues, architectural problems, and accumulating debt, then prioritizes them alongside feature work so engineering teams can make informed decisions about when to pay down debt versus build new features. Integration with Jira, GitHub, GitLab, and Slack means Stepsize fits into existing workflows without disruption. For engineering managers, Stepsize provides visibility into the true health of their codebase and the productivity impact of quality issues. For individual developers, it highlights areas needing attention and tracks improvement over time. The free tier covers basic tracking for small teams, while Pro (USD 8 per user per month) unlocks full AI insights and integrations.
