A few months ago, I was running a 10-day sprint for a small team.
On day 9, around 11 PM, I opened Jira to check a few tickets and realized we were in trouble.
Three tasks were silently blocked. Two "quick" client requests had increased the scope. We were nowhere near finishing the sprint, and nobody had raised concerns because everyone was busy trying to deliver.
That moment is exactly why I built Rahnuma.io.
The Problem Wasn't the Tool
We already had Jira.
Jira is great at showing the current state of work, but it doesn't tell you when your sprint is in danger. You still have to manually look at velocity, blockers, scope changes, and remaining work to figure out whether you're going to hit your deadline.
By the time you realize there's a problem, the sprint is often already over.
I tried lighter tools like Trello and Notion too. They had the opposite problem: simple and easy to use, but with no intelligence, no forecasting, and no risk signals.
Every team I worked with eventually relied on the same thing:
- A spreadsheet
- Gut feeling
- A Friday message asking, "Are we actually going to make it?"
What I Really Wanted
I wanted something that would tell me on day 5, not day 9:
"Your completion rate suggests this sprint is at risk."
"These tasks have been blocked for several days."
"Sprint scope has grown since planning."
"Based on current progress, you're likely to miss the deadline."
I didn't want another dashboard that I had to remember to check.
I wanted a system that continuously watched the project and surfaced problems before they became disasters.
So I Built Rahnuma.io
Rahnuma.io is built around one idea:
Project management tools shouldn't just track work. They should warn you when things are going wrong.
With Rahnuma.io, you get:
- Deadline risk forecasting based on time risk, blocker risk, completion rate, and scope growth.
- AI-generated sprint retrospectives.
- An AI assistant that understands your project context.
- GitHub integration so your tasks and code stay connected.
Why I Built It
I didn't build Rahnuma.io because I wanted another project management tool.
I built it because I never wanted another "It's 11 PM on day 9 and we're doomed" moment again.
If you've ever discovered too late that your sprint was already off track, you probably know exactly what that feels like.
Rahnuma.io is now live and free to start, with no credit card required.
I'd love your feedback, and I'd especially love to hear your own "day 9 at 11 PM" story.
