This might seem a dumb question, but can you talk about how this improves on existing productivity workflows? Does it integrate with tasking systems like Jira or is this meant to be a complete a replacement?

It seems high-level (and great) I'm just curious what implementing it "in the field" would look like.

Products like Jira help organize tasks within workflows, but don't automate any that organization. Orchestra takes care of things like "which reporter should I assign to a new story?" without requiring humans to make those decisions.

Research from the Flash teams project that I mentioned in another comment (http://stanfordhci.github.io/flash-teams/index.html) has shown that this type of automation can decrease end-to-end workflow time by as much as 2x!
