Features

100% of what your team actually uses.

No bloat. No plugins required for basic functionality. Everything your engineering and operations teams need, out of the box.

Scrum & Kanban Boards

Full sprint management, backlog grooming, velocity tracking, and drag-and-drop Kanban columns with WIP limits.

Epics & Roadmap

Plan across quarters with a timeline view. Link epics to sprints, track progress, and communicate direction to stakeholders.

Service Desk

Customer portal, SLA tracking, request queues, and automatic triage rules. Full service management without the enterprise price tag.

Automation Engine

Event-triggered rules: auto-transition issues, send Slack notifications, fire webhooks, assign on creation. No plugins required.

Incident Management

Dedicated incident timelines, severity tracking, responder assignment, and auto-generated postmortems when incidents close.

Custom Workflows

Define issue states, transitions, and approval steps per project and issue type. Ship with sensible defaults or build your own.
