Frontend PM 2026 | Track Components Not Just Status

Frontend Work Is Different Frontend development reality: ├─ Design handoff from Figma ├─ Component states (hover, focus, error, loading) ├─ Responsive breakpoints (mobile, tablet, desktop) ├─ Animation specifications ├─ Accessibility requirements ├─ Cross-browser testing ├─ Design feedback loops ├─ Then: Design changes One 'simple' component = many subtasks.

Why Generic PM Fails Frontend Jira for frontend: ├─ One ticket = 'Build button component' ├─ But button has: │ ├─ 5 visual states │ ├─ 3 breakpoints │ ├─ Loading animation │ ├─ A11y requirements │ └─ Storybook documentation ├─ All invisible in ticket ├─ 'Done' means nothing Result: Frontend always 'almost done' but actually 60% complete. GitScrum for Frontend Teams Component-based tracking: ├─ Task per component ├─ Checklist for states/breakpoints ├─ Figma link attached ├─ Git commits show progress ├─ Design changes = task update ├─ Storybook link when done Actual progress visible.

Design-to-Code Workflow Typical flow: ├─ Designer: 'Here's the Figma link' ├─ Developer: Creates component task ├─ Subtasks: states, breakpoints, a11y ├─ Code commits link to task ├─ Designer reviews in Storybook ├─ Feedback goes in task comments ├─ Iterate until approved ├─ Done = merged + documented GitScrum tracks this flow: ├─ Figma link in task ├─ Git commits auto-link ├─ Comments for feedback ├─ Checklist for completion criteria ├─ No separate design tool needed Component State Tracking Button component states: ├─ Default ├─ Hover ├─ Focus ├─ Active/Pressed ├─ Disabled ├─ Loading ├─ Error (if applicable) In GitScrum: ├─ Checklist in task description ├─ [x] Default state ├─ [x] Hover state ├─ [ ] Focus state (in progress) ├─ [ ] Loading state ├─ Clear completion visibility 'How done is the button?' '4 of 7 states done.' Responsive Breakpoints Breakpoint tracking: ├─ Mobile (< 640px) ├─ Tablet (640-1024px) ├─ Desktop (> 1024px) ├─ Optional: Large desktop, Watch In GitScrum: ├─ Checklist per breakpoint ├─ Screenshots attached per breakpoint ├─ Designer reviews each ├─ One task, all breakpoints visible No more 'looks good on desktop' but broken on mobile. Design Change Management Design change mid-sprint: ├─ Figma updated ├─ Task updated with change note ├─ Subtasks added/modified ├─ Time estimate adjusted ├─ Stakeholder notified via comment ├─ Sprint scope visible Transparent impact: ├─ 'This design change adds 2 days' ├─ Visible in task history ├─ Sprint burndown reflects reality ├─ No surprise delays Accessibility Tracking A11y requirements: ├─ Keyboard navigation ├─ Screen reader support ├─ Color contrast (WCAG AA/AAA) ├─ Focus indicators ├─ ARIA labels ├─ Reduced motion support In GitScrum: ├─ A11y checklist per component ├─ Links to a11y specs in wiki ├─ QA task for a11y testing ├─ Not an afterthought Accessibility built in, not bolted on.

Design System Components Design system tracking: ├─ Button (primary, secondary, tertiary) ├─ Input (text, email, password, error) ├─ Modal (small, medium, large) ├─ Card (basic, featured, interactive) ├─ ... (50+ components) GitScrum approach: ├─ One task per component ├─ Labels for component type ├─ Sprint per design system release ├─ Storybook link = done ├─ Wiki documents patterns Design system progress visible.

Figma Integration Workflow Figma + GitScrum: ├─ Figma link in task description ├─ Comments reference specific frames ├─ Design changes noted in task ├─ No Figma plugin needed ├─ Links work for anyone Simple workflow: ├─ Designer: Posts Figma link in task ├─ Developer: Builds from spec ├─ Reviewer: Compares Figma to Storybook ├─ Feedback: Task comments ├─ Done: Links to both in task Cross-Browser Testing Browser support: ├─ Chrome (latest 2) ├─ Firefox (latest 2) ├─ Safari (latest 2) ├─ Edge (latest 2) ├─ Maybe: IE11 😱 Tracking approach: ├─ Browser checklist in task ├─ QA tasks for browser testing ├─ Bug tasks linked to component ├─ 'Done' means tested everywhere Component Library Progress Storybook-driven development: ├─ Component documented in Storybook ├─ All states visible ├─ All breakpoints viewable ├─ A11y tests passing ├─ = Component 'Done' GitScrum links: ├─ Task → Storybook URL ├─ Storybook = source of truth ├─ QA reviews in Storybook ├─ Design signs off in Storybook Frontend + Backend Coordination Frontend waiting on API: ├─ Component ready for integration ├─ API not done yet ├─ Blocked dependency visible ├─ Both teams see same board GitScrum approach: ├─ Frontend task: 'Build UserCard' ├─ Backend task: 'GET /users API' ├─ Dependency linked ├─ Blocker visible on board ├─ No surprise when integrating Pricing for Frontend Teams Solo frontend dev: $0 (free) 2-person team: $0 (free) 5-person team: $26.70/month 8-person team: $53.40/month 15-person team: $115.70/month $8.90/user/month. 2 users free forever.

The GitScrum Advantage

One unified platform to eliminate context switching and recover productive hours.

problem.identify()

The Problem

Component states invisible - 'Build button' ticket doesn't show hover, focus, disabled, loading states. Progress unmeasurable.

Responsive breakpoints untracked - Mobile done? Tablet done? Desktop done? All hidden in one 'In Progress' status.

Design changes mid-sprint - Figma updates, but task doesn't reflect scope change. Sprint blindsided.

Design-to-code disconnect - Figma lives in Figma. Code lives in Git. Task tracking connects neither.

Accessibility afterthought - A11y requirements discovered at the end. Should be built in from start.

Always 'almost done' - Frontend shows 80% complete forever because state/breakpoint work is invisible.

solution.implement()

The Solution

Component state checklists - Every component task has states: default, hover, focus, loading, error. Progress is measurable.

Breakpoint tracking built-in - Mobile, tablet, desktop as checklist items. See exactly which breakpoints are done.

Design change transparency - Task updated when Figma changes. Sprint impact visible. No surprise scope creep.

Figma-to-Git linking - Figma link in task description. Git commits auto-link. Design and code in one view.

A11y requirements first-class - Accessibility checklist from start. Keyboard, screen reader, contrast - all tracked.

Actual completion visibility - '4 of 7 states done, mobile complete, tablet in progress'. Real progress, not fake percentages.

workflow.steps()

How It Works

Create Component Task

One task per component. Add Figma link. Create state and breakpoint checklists in description.

Track Visual States

Checklist: default, hover, focus, disabled, loading, error. Check off as you build. Progress visible.

Build Responsive

Checklist: mobile, tablet, desktop. Attach screenshots per breakpoint. Designer reviews in comments.

Ship Complete Components

Done = all states, all breakpoints, a11y checked, Storybook documented. Real completion, not 'good enough'.

Git Integrations

Component commits tracked - Every commit links to component task. See code progress automatically. No manual updates.

Sprint Planning

Ship faster without the chaos. Drag-and-drop backlog prioritization, velocity tracking across iterations, and burndown charts that update as work gets done—not when someone remembers to update a spreadsheet. Your team always knows what's next, stakeholders see progress without asking, and {vertical} across {city} consistently hit their sprint commitments.

Kanban Boards

Visual component pipeline - See components from design to done. Filter by status, component type, or breakpoint completion.

Wiki & Documentation

Design system documentation - Component guidelines, design tokens, accessibility standards. One source of truth for frontend team.

Team Management

Junior devs shouldn't access client billing. Contractors shouldn't see other projects. Set granular permissions that match how {vertical} actually work—by role, project, or even specific boards. Invite freelancers in {city} with time-limited access, track who did what, and revoke credentials in one click.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact us at customer.service@gitscrum.com

How do you track component states in GitScrum?

Use task description checklists. Create a checklist for states (default, hover, focus, disabled, loading) and another for breakpoints (mobile, tablet, desktop). Check items as you complete them. Progress is visible: '4 of 6 states done, mobile complete'.

Does GitScrum integrate with Figma?

GitScrum doesn't have a native Figma plugin, but the workflow is simple: paste Figma links in task descriptions. Anyone can click to view the design. Comments reference specific Figma frames. Works for any design tool with shareable links.

How do you handle design changes mid-sprint?

Update the task when design changes. Add a comment noting what changed. Adjust checklist if new states/breakpoints added. Sprint impact becomes visible. Stakeholders see scope change in real-time, not at sprint end.

What about Storybook documentation?

Add Storybook link to task when component is documented. 'Done' definition includes Storybook. Task has both Figma link (design) and Storybook link (implementation). QA and designers review in Storybook, sign off in task.
