Tasks in Jira or Asana. Leave in UKG or SAP. Appraisals in Lattice or BambooHR. Each one is fine on its own — and not one of them can tell a manager what is actually happening to their team this week. So the manager becomes the integration layer.
Every arrow between them is a human. Usually the manager.
Same five signals — held in one record, so each one informs the next automatically.
Not because the tools are bad. Because nobody ever asked them to share a brain.
The board says a task is In Progress. It doesn't say the owner is on leave from Monday.
Leave is approved in an HR portal that has never heard of your sprint.
A review form opened once a year, filled from memory and recency bias.
So managers rebuild it by hand, every week, in a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
An honest read of the stack most teams already pay for.
Great at tickets, sprints and backlogs. Built for the work item.
Doesn't know who is available, doesn't carry a performance signal, and rarely ladders a task to a business goal.
Sorted keeps the board, then attaches a score, a goal and an availability view to every single card.
Solid system of record for balances, policies and compliance.
Approvals happen with zero delivery context — no view of what the absence puts at risk.
Sorted shows the in-flight tasks and deadlines a leave request touches, before the manager clicks approve.
Good frameworks for cycles, feedback and calibration.
Fed by forms, not delivery. The data arrives at review time, written from recollection.
Sorted accumulates scores as work completes, so the appraisal is already written by real delivery history.
Five signals most companies keep in three systems. In Sorted, each one feeds the next.
Completion isn't binary. Every closed task carries a score, so quality and effort are captured while the context is still fresh.
Performance & AppraisalsEach task ladders to a team goal with a weighting, so progress on the goal is a by-product of the work, not a separate status update.
Goals & Org LensOrg Lens shows the reporting tree with quota strips — who is overloaded, and which goals have no work behind them at all.
Org LensBefore approving, the manager sees the dependent in-flight tasks and the deadlines that move. Approval becomes a decision, not a formality.
Leave & HolidaysBy review time there is nothing to reconstruct. The cycle closes with evidence, and the next quarter's goals start from it.
AppraisalsThe difference isn't features. It's whether they're connected.
Keep it for engineering tickets. Sorted is the layer above it — the people, goals and performance view Jira was never designed to hold.
HR still owns the policy and the record. Sorted gives the manager the one thing HR can't: what the absence costs the delivery plan.
The process stays. Sorted just makes sure the evidence behind it was collected all year, not the week before the form is due.
