Project Management

Agile that admits you're building physical things.

Sprints, kanban, roadmaps, and portfolio health — with QC gates, serialized units, and vendor lead times built in. The project tool for teams whose “deploy” involves a soldering iron.

Built for hardware, optical, and medtech teams whose work doesn't end at a merge.

The problem

Software PM tools assume your product ships over the wire.

They have no concept of a unit that needs calibration, a task that can't close until QC signs off, or a sprint blocked on a vendor's lead time.

  1. 01

    “Done” isn't done until QC says so

    Generic trackers let anyone drag a card to Done. Your product can't ship until inspection passes — and the tool has no idea that gate exists.

  2. 02

    Your tasks don't know about your parts

    The estimate depends on a vendor lead time living in a spreadsheet. Nothing connects the backlog to the physical world it's building.

  3. 03

    Portfolio health is a Friday slide deck

    Status gets assembled by hand for the weekly review, is stale by Monday, and is disconnected from the actual work.

How Azora solves it

Run hardware sprints in a tool that gets it.

Portfolio, personal work, and computed insights — with the QC gate, the units, and the vendors all in the same database as the plan.

  1. 01

    Portfolio, not a task firehose

    Land on project health across the whole portfolio — List, Rollup, Dependencies, and Teams views — then drop into a project to work.

  2. 02

    My Work across projects

    Your assignments everywhere, in List / Board / Timeline / Calendar. QC-gated tasks can't be closed until they've passed review.

  3. 03

    Insights that compute themselves

    Reports, performance, and cross-department dependencies drawn from the real work — not a hand-built status deck.

  4. 04

    Wired to units, vendors, budgets

    Estimates see vendor lead times; tasks link to the serialized units they build; spend rolls up from the same rows.

  5. 05

    Automation engine

    Reassign overdue work, escalate blocked tasks, notify on QC requirement — real rules on the same DB, no Zapier in between.

  6. 06

    Retros & timesheets

    Close the loop each sprint and track time per task — feeding the same insights and per-project P&L.

Practitioner perspective

We stopped pretending our hardware sprints were software sprints. The QC gate lives in the tool now, not in someone's head.

Connected by design

Project Management does not become another silo.

Azora keeps project, quality, operations, people, clinical, and customer context on one operational data layer. Teams can follow the record instead of rebuilding its history in the next tool.

01

Capture the source

Keep the originating task, study, customer, unit, or people record attached to the work it creates.

02

Govern the handoff

Route ownership and approvals through role-aware workflows, with controlled history where the record requires it.

03

Read the same signal

Let downstream teams and leadership work from linked operational data instead of reconciling exports.
