Slack Dev Theater Detector

When work feels busy but progress feels slow. This tool diagnoses discussion-first development and recommends structural fixes.

The failure mode

Teams feel constantly engaged. Slack is active. Threads are thoughtful. Decisions are debated. Alignment meetings are frequent. And yet, features land slowly or not at all.

Inputs

This tool does not judge effort or intelligence. It diagnoses structure.

What Slack Dev Theater looks like in practice

  • Every change requires discussion
  • No one is empowered to decide
  • Alignment replaces ownership
  • Work feels collaborative but stalls

Most teams do not need more alignment. They need clearer ownership.
