Caliber is a lightweight tool for engineering managers to keep track of people, conversations, and follow-ups in one place.
It replaces your notes with a simple system built around how management work actually happens: unexpected ad-hoc meetings, regular 1:1s, ongoing feedback, and small actions that need to be followed through.
People & Teams
