Management OS

Run the team, not just the work.

RAID log, Decision Rights, Manager Roll-up, 1:1 prep, Skip-level, Weekly Status, Workgroups, Interface Contracts. A full management framework alongside your sprints — same database, same login, no separate $99/seat tool.

What's in it

The framework most teams pay extra for.

Management work isn't just standups and 1:1s — it's a backlog of risks to track, decisions to record, dependencies to surface, and signals to roll up. Most teams cobble this together in spreadsheets, Notion pages, and meeting docs. Azora ships it as structured records, joined to your tasks and goals.

RAID log

Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies — one structured table per project. RAID items auto-escalate after 10 days without an owner update, so nothing rots silently in the corner of a spreadsheet.

Decision Rights / DoA

Delegation of Authority matrix at the team and individual level. Who can approve what, up to which threshold. Write it once; reference it from every approval workflow.

Manager Roll-up

Each manager's reports' active work, blockers, leave, and 1:1 cadence rolled up into one view. Skip-level managers get a tier above. The graph is the org chart you'd build by hand, kept fresh from the actual data.

1:1 prep

Each 1:1 pulls last week's status, the report's overdue items, recent CAPA/audit involvement, and notes from the last meeting. The page that tells you what to talk about — automatically.

Skip-level visibility

Skip-level meetings have their own cadence, agenda, and notes. The DoA matrix tells the senior manager what they should and shouldn't escalate. Decisions get logged, not just discussed.

Weekly Status

A team's weekly write-up isn't a Slack thread — it's a structured record with shipped, in-progress, blocked, and asks-for-help fields. Every report rolls up; every roll-up is queryable; every status feeds next week's 1:1.

Beyond the basics

When teams cross over, that's where it matters.

Workgroups (time-bounded)

Cross-functional teams that exist for a specific outcome and dissolve when done. Planned end dates. Members from any department. Visible in the dependency graph. Not labels — structured records.

Interface Contracts

Producer/consumer agreements between teams. "Optics group provides spec X, by date Y, to Mech group, who consumes it for design Z." Versioned. Visible from both sides. Lifecycle: proposed → signed → active → superseded.

Cross-Department Dependencies

A dependency graph that crosses team boundaries. The matrix knows which teams' deliverables block which others. When a delivery date slips, every dependent team sees it on the same view.

H/M/L matrix

Stakeholder × deliverable importance/effort matrix. Surface the high-importance/low-effort wins, the high-effort/low-impact traps. Updates as the underlying records change.

Discovery sessions

Structured session records: ratings, risks, commitments, synthesis. Run a real organizational discovery — same database as your tasks and CAPAs, no separate consultant tool.

YoY delta tracking

Year-over-year change snapshots on key metrics. The "where did we move?" view senior leadership wants — backed by persisted records, not regenerated narrative.

"We were maintaining the RAID log in Notion, decision rights in a Google Sheet, and 1:1 notes in a different Notion page per manager. Pulling everything into structured records inside the same DB as our tasks made the management overhead drop by half."

From the Azora team — every internal manager runs on this layer. Real customer quotes coming as design partners deploy in 2026.
