Implementation Guide
"Start small. Prove value. Scale fast."
HEAT is designed for rapid, low-friction adoption. From pilot to full team deployment in 4-6 weeks.
Three-Phase Approach
Phase 1: Pilot (Week 1-2)
- Individual or small team (3-5 people)
- Calibrate intensity thresholds
- Identify tag categories that fit your workflow
- Goal: Baseline data + proof of concept
Phase 2: Team Rollout (Week 2-4)
- Expand to full engineering team
- Build comprehensive capacity map
- Identify first patterns (bus factor, silent grinders)
- Goal: Team-wide visibility
Phase 3: Operational Integration (Week 4+)
- Weekly heatmap review ritual
- Proactive intervention on burnout signals
- Adjust priorities based on actual friction
- Goal: Sustained value delivery
Time Investment
| Activity | Time Required | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Daily tagging | 30 seconds | Per work item |
| Weekly personal review | 5 minutes | Friday |
| Manager team review | 15 minutes | Monday |
| Initial setup | 1 hour | One-time |
Total overhead: ~2 hours/person/month for transformative visibility.
