The Problem

Heavy suites ship features no one asked for, so teams disable most of them and keep a shadow spreadsheet

Every module of a heavyweight tool has its own vocabulary, so nobody explains work in the tool itself

Reports live in export files that are already stale by the time a meeting starts

The Solution

One lightweight hub instead of a suite: boards, notes, wiki, time tracking and client portal in a single place

The interface is the interface — no module tax, no vocabulary to memorise

Live dashboards replace exports: delivery pace and risk are read on screen, not in a PDF

03

workflow.steps()

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

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.

NoteVault

Quick ideas during a {city} client call shouldn't live in 47 browser tabs. Capture thoughts instantly with markdown support, link them to specific tasks or projects, and find everything later with full-text search. Templates speed up meeting notes while {vertical} teams keep personal and shared notes in one place.

Wiki & Documentation

New hires asking the same questions. Process docs scattered across Google Docs, Notion, and Slack pins. Sound familiar? Build your team's single source of truth with rich text editing, nested pages, and instant search. {vertical} in {city} onboard new members 3x faster when everything is documented once and findable forever.

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.
