Features
Naked Yak gives your team x-ray vision into task dependencies so side-quests never derail a deadline again.
Real-time detection of ballooning task chains. Get warned the moment a task starts spawning unplanned sub-tasks.
Interactive DAG visualization of every task relationship. See the true critical path at a glance and spot cycles instantly.
A live metric that quantifies how far your sprint has drifted from the original plan. Keep your team honest.
A kanban board that actually pushes back. Columns auto-reorder by dependency priority so blockers surface first.
Track how much of your team's effort goes to planned vs. unplanned work. Spot patterns across sprints and quarters.
Connects to GitHub, Linear, Jira, Notion, and Slack. Your yak alerts show up wherever your team already works.
How it works
Import from your existing tool or start fresh. Naked Yak auto-discovers dependencies from your descriptions and commit history.
As work progresses, the Yak Radar monitors task chains in real-time. The moment a task starts branching into unplanned territory, you get an alert.
Use actionable insights to prune unnecessary work, re-scope tasks, or consciously accept the trade-off. Every decision is tracked.
Orion View
Every task is a star. Every dependency is a line between them. Orion View renders your entire project as an interactive star map so you can see the big picture at a glance.
Traditional boards hide relationships. Orion View surfaces them. Tasks cluster into constellations by feature area, and dependency lines glow brighter the more critical the path.
