Requirements that
developers understand
Stop translating vague feature requests into tasks. Write user stories that capture why, prioritize with team votes, and watch them become shipped code.
Write requirements
as real users speak
Capture what your users need with the format that works: As a [persona], I want [feature], so that [benefit]. Context that developers can actually ship.
Group stories into strategic initiatives
Organize user stories by theme, feature area, or release. Color-coded epics give instant visual context across your backlog.
Prioritize with
collective intelligence
Let your team vote on what matters most. Sort by votes to see what resonates. Democratic prioritization without endless meetings.
Define done before starting
Clear acceptance criteria mean no ambiguity on delivery. Every story has explicit conditions for completion—visible to devs and stakeholders.
Track tasks within each story
Every user story breaks down into tasks. Visualize progress on a Kanban board, see blockers instantly, and know exactly where work stands.
Measure velocity
not just activity
See how stories translate to completed work. Task distribution by status, member workload, effort breakdown, and completion timelines—all in one view.

Can I track story points?
Yes. Each user story can have story points assigned for effort estimation. The analytics dashboard shows effort distribution and helps with sprint planning.
How do epics work?
Epics are color-coded groups for organizing related user stories. Create epics for features, releases, or themes. Filter your backlog by epic to focus on specific initiatives.
