What it does

Rather than waiting for a scheduled checkpoint, this workflow reacts in real time to ClickUp activity. Each time a task changes status, it checks whether any in-progress ticket has been stuck longer than its estimate predicts, catching emerging stalls as they happen.

When to use it

Use it for fast-moving sprints where a daily forecast is too coarse and you want an immediate nudge the moment a ticket starts dragging. Good complement to the scheduled midpoint forecaster.

How it works

  1. 1A ClickUp webhook fires on any task status change.
  2. 2The workflow reads the affected sprint's in-progress tickets with time-in-status and estimates.
  3. 3A logic gate flags any ticket whose elapsed in-progress time exceeds its estimate by the configured factor.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a concise stall alert naming the ticket, owner, and how far over it is running.
  5. 5The alert is posted to the sprint Slack channel.
