Jell, LLC

Jell, LLC makes a work-management app called Jell, which runs daily standups and check-ins for Slack and Microsoft Teams users as well as on the web. Its audience is remote and distributed teams spread across time zones.

Asynchronous standups for distributed teams

Team members submit daily standups asynchronously, on their own schedules, individually or as a team. The app is optimized for teams that work across multiple time zones or in remote settings, so nobody has to join a meeting to report progress on their work.

Custom questions and flexible schedules

Standup questions are set by the team leader, who can choose text, list, multiple choice or number formats. Standups can run straight out of the box or be customized to a team's schedule, on any combination of weekdays or on a specific date each month.

Views of current and past work

Real-time and historic views show what a team is working on now and what it completed last week or last month. The app tracks sprints and quarterly goals, so leaders can see progress without a stack of status meetings.

Identifying blockers without extra meetings

Blocker tracking helps teams spot the roadblocks in the way of their work and clear them. The app presents this as visibility in daily scrum meetings without the distraction of long discussions, so that the meeting itself stays focused.

Integrations and OKR tracking

Integrations connect Jell to the team tracking and collaboration tools a team already uses. OKR tracking records goals and progress in one place, which helps a team align its objectives and see who is working on what.

Getting a team onto the platform

Adding a team to the platform is straightforward, and members receive timely reminders to take part in standups. The company holds that shared visibility into projects helps teams communicate openly and finish their work faster. Leaders can also receive weekly updates with practical tips on managing a team.
