Alignment answers: is the work connected to planned objectives?
Navigara links commits to your task management system (Linear, Jira, etc.) and traces each commit through your planning hierarchy:
Commit → Issue → Project → Initiative
How it works
- Issue extraction — AI reads the commit message and code to find issue references (e.g.
ENG-123, #580).
- Hierarchy resolution — Each issue is resolved to its parent project and initiative(s) in your task tracker.
- Tagging — The commit’s metrics are tagged with the matched issue, project, and initiative so you can filter and aggregate at any level.
What you see
- Aligned commits are linked to at least one issue. You can drill down to see which project or initiative they support.
- Unaligned commits have no issue reference. Some unaligned work is normal (quick fixes, tooling), but a consistently high ratio may indicate work happening outside the plan.
Use alignment data to spot drift early — if a large share of effort is going to unplanned work, it’s worth a conversation before the sprint ends.
