The Problem

The backlog is a graveyard: ideas are logged and never resurfaced

What ships next is guessed, because the order of the list is never contested or recorded

The next phase starts with a scramble to reconstruct the decision that the backlog should hold

The Solution

Planning poker votes on features and stories put the backlog into evidence before each phase

Boards with swimlanes keep the phase, the next phase and parked ideas in one visible place

Notifications mark what the team committed to, so the phase starts from a known starting line

How It Works

1

Connect the context

Boards, NoteVault and Wiki share one live context; agents connect through a single MCP link.

2

Plan the phase

Votes prioritise the backlog and the board carries the phase with WIP limits and swimlanes.

3

Track it live

Pulse, standup lenses and risk scores show who is moving, who is stuck and why — humans and agents alike.

4

Review and improve

The dashboard compares created vs completed work per week; the next phase starts from evidence, not from rumor.

Why GitScrum

GitScrum runs the operating system for how work gets tracked, scoped and delivered — from boards that live next to the code, to a hub where humans and agents read the same live context through one MCP link.

Methodology

Release-based workflow: plan a phase on a shared board, prioritise by team vote, track with Pulse, standups and risk scores, reflect the code on the board through Git integrations. Agents join the same workflow through one MCP link, with scoped tokens (workspace, project or notes-only).

Capabilities

  • kanban boards with WIP limits and swimlanes
  • NoteVault structured notes
  • project Wiki
  • Client Flow client portal
  • Pulse, risk scores and AI project health
  • Team Standups with output and blocker lenses
  • global search across tasks, projects, notes and invoices
  • filterable notifications across 38 event types

Voting Board

What gets built next? Instead of the loudest voice winning, let the team vote. Upvote features, set vote limits per person, and watch real prioritization emerge from data. Works for internal roadmaps or public feature requests. {vertical} across {city} make product decisions everyone can stand behind.

Kanban Boards

Visual project management that actually fits how {vertical} work. Create unlimited Kanban boards with custom columns—from 'Client Review' to 'Ready to Deploy'—and set WIP limits that prevent the bottlenecks {city} teams know too well. Every card, comment, and status change syncs instantly across devices, so whether your {vertical} team is in the office or remote across {city}, everyone sees the same real-time picture.

Shareable Board

Clients want visibility without the noise. Generate a public link—password protected if needed—that shows only the columns and cards you choose. {city} stakeholders bookmark their project view and see real-time updates without ever logging in. {vertical} stay in control while clients feel in the loop.

Notifications

Not all updates deserve your attention. Customize what triggers notifications—get pinged for client comments but skip internal chatter. Daily digests keep {city} remote teams synced without inbox avalanches. Connect Slack, Discord, or email—wherever your {vertical} team actually checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do AI agents connect to GitScrum?

Through one MCP link. Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, VS Code, JetBrains and Cline all connect the same way — the agent reads live context (boards, NoteVault, Wiki), logs its own work as tasks and comments, and status updates in real time as it works.

What monitoring does GitScrum provide on the team’s and agents’ work?

Pulse shows open, in-progress, blocked, overdue, stale and unassigned items in real time, including agents. A risk score per project combines overdue, blocked and stalled tasks, and the AI project health score adds delivery pace and completion rate.

What does the Pro plan add on top of free?

Git integrations with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, plus API and webhooks. The free plan keeps unlimited kanban boards, NoteVault, Wiki, Client Flow, monitoring and agent access through the MCP link. The launch offer runs at 87% off the first year — $106.80 instead of $854.40 on the annual Team plan.
