COMPANY SIZE

Project Management for 500+ Employee Companies

A company with 500 or more employees doesn't need a company-wide rollout to start. One department of 30 to 80 people can run entirely on its own workspace today.

You don't have to buy this for everyone at once

At 500 or more employees, "let's get project management software" is usually the sentence that kills the project, because it implies a company-wide evaluation, a shortlist, a pilot, sign-off from departments that don't even talk to each other, and a rollout timeline measured in quarters. Most of that process exists to solve a problem a single department doesn't actually have.

The more useful question for a team inside a 500+ person company is smaller: does our group (the 40-person product org, the 65-person operations team, the 30-person regional marketing function) need a better way to run its own work right now. That question doesn't need a company-wide decision. It needs a workspace, a plan, and a credit card someone on that team is already authorised to use.

ShipSprint is built to answer that smaller question well. A department signs up, runs its own boards on its own subscription, and never has to wait on a platform decision that covers the other 450 people it doesn't work with day to day.

One department's workspace

What a 30-80 person team inside a much larger company actually gets

Scoped to the group adopting it, not stretched thin across a company that hasn't decided anything yet.

A board that fits your team, not the whole company

Per-column WIP limits keep a queue from silently overflowing, and new requests land in a triage inbox rather than a manager's messages, scoped entirely to the department running it.

Hours logged without a company-wide policy

Logging a day's hours takes about five seconds and sits next to the task just finished. It's a habit a 50-person team can adopt on its own, without waiting for a company-wide timesheet mandate to catch up.

Forecasts built from your team's own pace

Delivery dates come from your department's measured velocity, not a company-wide benchmark that doesn't reflect how your specific team actually works.

A command center for your department head

Whoever runs your group, not the CEO of the 500-person company, gets a single screen answering "where are we" across everything your team owns, plus a Monday digest already assembled.

Your own vocabulary, not a company standard

Whether your group is engineering, ops, HR or marketing, the templates match how your function actually works, no waiting for a company-wide tool to pick a lowest common denominator.

Isolated from the rest of the company by design

Your workspace is its own tenant, so nothing about it depends on decisions made by other departments in the same 500+ person company, and nothing in it is visible outside your team unless you invite someone in.

The math for one department, not the whole company

Business runs ₹599 per user per month. A 60-person department: 60 × ₹599 = ₹35,940 a month. A leaner 30-person team: 30 × ₹599 = ₹17,970 a month. On annual billing at ₹6,499 per user per year, that 60-person department pays 60 × ₹6,499 = ₹389,940 a year, roughly ₹32,495 a month.

None of that requires sign-off from the other 440-plus people in the company, and none of it changes if the rest of the company never adopts anything at all. It's worth being explicit about what this page is not: it isn't a pitch for replacing a company-wide platform, and it isn't the honest-gap conversation about custom contracts, SLAs or dedicated account managers that a genuine enterprise-wide rollout would need. That's a separate discussion with a separate set of gaps worth knowing up front. This is the much narrower, much faster case: one team, its own budget line, its own decision.

What this looks like in practice, at one company

Picture a 700-person logistics company where the central IT team runs whatever platform decision gets made company-wide, a process that, realistically, takes a year and involves people the operations team never talks to. Meanwhile, the 45-person regional operations group has a real, immediate problem: dispatch requests landing in shared inboxes, no shared view of who's overloaded this week, and a manager who spends Friday afternoons chasing down hours nobody logged.

That group doesn't need to wait for IT's platform decision to solve its own problem. It signs up, runs its own workspace at 45 seats, and has a working triage inbox and WIP-limited boards inside a week, entirely separate from whatever the company-wide conversation eventually decides. It's the kind of gap ShipSprint is built for at this scale: a 45-person group doesn't have to wait on a 700-person decision to stop losing dispatch requests in a shared inbox. If that company-wide decision happens later and lands on ShipSprint too, the operations team's workspace and history carry forward unchanged. If it lands on something else, the operations team's tool choice was never dependent on that outcome in the first place.

What it costs

  • Business is the practical starting point above 40 people: Team's ceiling is a hard 40 users
  • ₹599/user/month or ₹6,499/user/year, billed per seat in rupees with GST-compliant invoices
  • Unlimited projects, so a department running several workstreams at once doesn't hit a cap
  • A 14-day full-access trial runs on Business with a sample project loaded and no card required, so a department can try it before committing its own budget

Full detail is on the pricing page.

The difference between this and an enterprise-wide decision

It's worth being precise about which conversation this page is having, because the two get conflated easily at this headcount. A company-wide platform decision at a 500+ person organisation typically comes with expectations ShipSprint doesn't currently meet: a negotiated contract, a dedicated account manager, a contractual SLA, possibly an on-premise deployment requirement. Those gaps are real, and they don't get smaller because one department already likes the product.

A single department's adoption doesn't run into any of that, because it was never asking for it. The department isn't buying enterprise software with enterprise expectations attached. It's buying a per-seat subscription the way a 45-person independent company would: the same trial, the same published pricing, the same self-serve signup. The scale of the parent company doesn't change the terms of what one team inside it is actually purchasing.

FAQ

Common questions

No. A department signing up on its own budget runs an entirely separate, isolated workspace. Nothing about starting requires a company-wide decision or the rest of the company adopting anything.
