Engineering Manager’s Dream: Faster PR Reviewers, Managed Cross-Team Requests, Driving Vision, Happier Engineers

As engineering managers, we often find ourselves juggling multiple priorities, from managing team dynamics to ensuring project deadlines are met. One of the most common pain points we face is the overwhelming influx of requests from other teams. Have you ever felt buried under an avalanche of pull requests (PRs), with some sitting idle for days or even weeks, just waiting for someone to hit that review button? Or have you found yourself wasting precious time searching for critical information that feels just out of reach?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone.

The Shared Challenges

In our journey, we encountered these exact challenges. The struggle with slow PR reviews and cross-team requests was something we all faced at one point or another. We tried several applications that promised to streamline our workflow, but many of them fell short. They either offered partial solutions or introduced new complexities that made our lives even harder. High maintenance needs and limited configurability often left us frustrated and searching for alternatives.

The Solution: CandidTeams

After facing this cycle of trial and error, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We embarked on a mission to build a solution that was not just another tool but a tailored application designed specifically to address our unique needs. The result was CandidTeams, an application that has significantly transformed our productivity.
