# A Span alternative that measures all delivered work, not only AI sessions

[Span connects AI usage and agent traces with engineering outcomes. Pensero measures every unit of delivered work on one scale, whoever or whatever did it, and recommends what to scale, change or delegate next.](https://pensero.ai/?hubspotutk=c1f0028b99e7118bf1afb216a605208e&ph_distinct_id=019e8d19-544b-79b6-a444-7bdd504210fa&ph_session_id=019e9203-9740-7404-abba-85717098b081&ph_source=framer_landing#pr1)

Don’t just take our word for it

- Effortless observability

  “Pensero gives me daily peace of mind. I know exactly what the team is working on. The built-in reporting & analytics make team observability effortless, and the leaderboards give us the clarity we need for performance reviews and promotions decisions.”

  Jose-Luis Vilar

  Co-Founder and CPTO
- Truly plug 'n play

  “Pensero gives me a clear, non-engineer’s view of team productivity. It helps me spot champions who adopt new tools fastest and turn their practices into inspiration for the rest of the team.

  Rather than being a policing tool, it provides a data-driven foundation for bragging rights, better conversations, and benchmarking against peers worldwide. And the best part: it was truly plug-and-play — we were live in just one day.”

  “Pensero offers a modern approach to performance management by providing real-time, actionable insights and continuous improvement. Its features are designed to enhance clarity, accountability, and productivity within teams.

  As a manager that helped me have honest and actionable feedback with my teams enabling them for growth.“

- Focused team execution

  “15 engineers. $50M a year. We didn’t know exactly how our work was different from where we wanted to go. In one view, we can show engineers everything they did… and they learn a lot of insights.

  Now we went from 70% to 30% maintenance… it’s where we want it to be. It’s like the lighthouse of our engineering team.”

- Proof over guessing

  "I was being told we were slow to ship, but I didn't have any visibility as to why that was. Pensero is story points after the fact — we go 4x faster.

  Engineers love it because they get to brag: they can say they're in the top 5 percent globally, based on an independent third party. Pensero is why you want to work here."
