For Team Members

Your work is more than commits. Make your real contributions visible.

Language: EN DE ES

The Real Problem: GitHub shows what code changed. It doesn't show the research you did, the problems you debugged, the decisions you made, or the knowledge you shared. To anyone looking only at commits, you're invisible—just another interchangeable coder. Navigator changes that.

This Is Not a Time Tracker

Let's be clear about what Navigator is not. It's not surveillance. It's not about measuring your productivity. Nobody is counting your commits or timing your keystrokes.

  • No time entries, no hour tracking
  • No activity monitoring or screenshots
  • No comparison against teammates
  • Your entries are your voice, not metrics

Make Your Invisible Work Visible

Most of what you do never shows up in git. The debugging session that prevented a production incident. The architecture discussion that saved weeks of rework. The code review that caught a security issue. Navigator captures this.

  • Document the why, not just the what
  • Show the problems you solved, not just the code you wrote
  • Make your reasoning and decisions part of the record
  • Create a trail of your real contributions

30 Seconds, Not 30 Minutes

A log entry is a few sentences. What you worked on. What got in the way. What you figured out. That's it. AI synthesizes everything into weekly reports—you don't write those.

  • Quick entries at natural breakpoints
  • No forms to fill, no categories to select
  • Plain text, your words
  • The value comes from aggregation, not individual entries

You're Not a Code Factory

Software development is a socio-technical system, not an assembly line. The value you create comes from understanding problems, collaborating with others, making tradeoffs, and sharing knowledge—not just producing commits.

  • Your context and judgment matter
  • Debugging, researching, and learning are real work
  • Helping teammates is a contribution
  • Surfacing risks early is valuable, even without code

Your Signal Helps the Team

When everyone logs briefly, patterns emerge. Recurring blockers get noticed. Unclear requirements become visible. Friction points surface before they become crises. Your entries contribute to organizational intelligence that benefits everyone.

  • Blockers you mention might be blockers others face too
  • Your "small" observation might reveal a systemic issue
  • Weekly reports synthesize signals across the team
  • Leadership sees friction, not just velocity

Build Your Professional Record

Come performance review time, do you remember what you accomplished six months ago? Navigator creates a searchable record of your contributions—the kind that doesn't show up in git blame.

  • Evidence of problem-solving and initiative
  • Record of cross-team collaboration
  • Documentation of decisions and their rationale
  • Your professional narrative, written as it happened

What a Good Log Entry Looks Like

You're not writing an essay. A useful entry is three sentences: what you worked on, what blocked or slowed you, and what you learned or decided. The AI and consultants turn these fragments into intelligence. Your job is just to capture the signal.
