Welcome to mpath! This guide helps you understand the core concepts and how they work together. mpath helps managers organize people and teams, run initiatives, manage tasks, hold effective meetings and one‑on‑ones, collect feedback, and integrate with developer tools.
Core Concepts
mpath is built around a few key concepts that work together to help you manage your organization effectively.Organization
Your top‑level container. All data is isolated per organization, ensuring privacy and security.
People
Individual members of your organization. People can belong to teams and have managers for structured reporting.
Teams
Groups of people with a parent/child hierarchy. Teams own initiatives and can be nested for complex structures.
Work Management
Organize and track work at different levels of granularity.Initiatives
Multi‑week efforts that group objectives and tasks. Use initiatives to drive outcomes across teams and track strategic progress.
Tasks
Actionable items that can be assigned, prioritized, and tracked. Tasks may belong to initiatives or stand alone for flexibility.
Meetings & Communication
Facilitate effective communication and collaboration.Feedback & Growth
Collect structured feedback and generate insights for team development.Feedback Campaigns
Feedback Campaigns
Structured requests for feedback about a person. Campaign creators control visibility and collect responses from team members.
Responses
Responses
Individual submissions to a campaign. Private feedback is only visible to the author, while public feedback is visible to all organization members.
Synopses
Synopses
AI‑generated summaries for a person that synthesize their work, feedback, and activity. Only the person or org admins can access synopses.
Synopses help managers quickly understand a team member’s contributions, growth areas, and overall performance.
Integrations
Connect with developer tools to surface work activity and context.GitHub Integration
Link accounts to surface PR activity, code contributions, and related context directly in mpath.
Jira Integration
Link accounts to sync assigned tickets, work activity, and project information for complete visibility.
Entity Links
Attach external links (docs, dashboards, tickets) to people, teams, initiatives, tasks, and more to centralize context in one place.
