Backend Development PM 2026 | API GraphQL Microservices

Backend development teams build the foundation that powers modern applications.

From designing RESTful APIs and GraphQL schemas to optimizing database queries and managing microservices, backend work requires meticulous planning and coordination. The most effective backend teams share one trait: they've mastered tracking technical debt while delivering new features.

Key Features

View all features

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.

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.

Code and project management finally speak the same language. Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket in two clicks—every commit, branch, and pull request automatically links to the right task. Developers in {city} push code and managers see progress instantly, no status meetings required. {vertical} teams ship faster when the code tells the whole story.

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.

{vertical} make hundreds of decisions weekly—and most get lost in chat noise. Threaded discussions keep conversations attached to the work they reference. Tag teammates, attach files, and search past decisions instantly. When clients in {city} ask 'why did we do it this way?'—you'll have the receipts.

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.

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

How does Git integration help backend teams?

Commits, branches, and pull requests from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket automatically link to tasks. See code changes in context without switching tools.

Can we track API development progress?

Yes. Create boards for API endpoints, track status from design through implementation, and document contracts in the Wiki.

How do we manage technical debt?

Dedicated boards or labels for tech debt. Prioritize during sprint planning and track resolution over time with workload views.

Does it help with code review coordination?

Pull requests linked to tasks show review status. Team members see what's waiting for review in their workload.
