Pace handles the coordination work that consumes 70% of a PM's time: tracking initiatives, syncing tools, surfacing decisions, generating updates. It doesn't replace strategic thinking or stakeholder management - that's still you. But it eliminates the administrative overhead that makes you feel like you need a PM.
Hire a PM when: (1) you have 10+ engineers and coordination is genuinely complex, (2) you need someone to own stakeholder relationships full-time, (3) you have budget and want strategic product leadership, or (4) you're building a PM org. Usually this is post-Series A.
Yes! Many teams use OrgX alongside their PM. The PM focuses on strategy and stakeholders while Pace handles coordination overhead. Your PM gets leverage, not replaced.
Pace connects directly to your Linear workspace via OAuth. It reads your issues, projects, and cycles to understand your product state. It can create issues, update statuses, and surface blockers - all while respecting your existing workflows and permissions.
Instead of you checking 5 tools to understand project status, Pace aggregates signals and presents you with decisions that need your input. For example: "Feature X is blocked on API design - here are 3 approaches your team discussed with tradeoffs." You decide, Pace documents and communicates.
Linear AI and Notion AI work within their own tools. Pace coordinates across your entire stack - Linear, GitHub, Slack, Notion. It understands the relationships between your code, tasks, and communication. Tool-specific AI helps you work in that tool; Pace helps you work across all of them.
Yes. You define your initiatives, milestones, and what "blocked" means for your team. Pace adapts to your process rather than forcing you into a template. Most teams start with defaults and customize as they learn what matters.
