Getting started with Mid-Manager
Your first week. Connect Jira, set up your team, and build a daily clarity routine that replaces five tools with one.
What to expect
- Day 1: Workspace ready, Jira connected, Today showing your first signals
- Day 3: First 1:1 logged, action items tracked in Team Actions
- Day 7: Focus Engine is calibrated to your team's cadence and priorities
- Week 2: You stop context-switching — Mid-Manager is your single morning check
Sign up and create your workspace
Request early access at the link below. You'll receive a workspace link within 48 hours. No credit card required — early access is free and full-featured.
Tip: Use your work email so team invites and Jira connections work without friction.
Connect Jira
Go to Integrations and connect your Jira workspace. Mid-Manager uses OAuth — you authorize read access to your Jira project metadata. Sprint status, ticket state, assignees, and velocity are ingested automatically.
Tip: Mid-Manager only reads metadata. Your source code is never accessed or modified.
Add your direct reports
Go to My Team and invite your direct reports by email. Each person gets a role-aware view: managers see signals and actions; team members see their goals and 1:1 history. HR and admin roles see wider org data.
Tip: Start with just yourself and one or two reports. You can expand later.
Open Today — your daily starting point
Today is where you begin every workday. The Focus Engine surfaces up to three priority cards ranked by impact and urgency. Each card tells you: what the signal is, why it surfaced, and the one action to take. No digging through dashboards.
Tip: The first card is always the highest priority. Resolve it and move to the second — you've already led well today.
Check Team Actions
Team Actions (Inbox) shows you action items and follow-ups from 1:1s, goal check-ins, and delivery signals. Think of it as your management to-do list — populated automatically from the work you and your team are already doing.
Tip: Aim to clear Team Actions once a day. Items that can't be resolved today can be snoozed or delegated.
Build your daily routine
The pattern that works: open Mid-Manager first thing in the morning. Check Today (three cards max). Check Team Actions. That's it. You've covered what matters without context-switching through five tools.
Tip: Block 10 minutes at the start of your day. Within two weeks this becomes instinct.
