Project Management Software for Technology

Three companies under one name

Ask five people at a growing technology company what "the roadmap" means and you'll get five different documents. Engineering has a sprint board. Product has a strategy deck nobody's opened since the last offsite. Marketing has a launch spreadsheet with dates engineering has never seen. Each is internally consistent, and none of them agree with each other, which is fine right up until a customer asks when a feature is landing and gets three different answers by Friday.

This isn't a discipline problem, it's a tooling problem. Most project software is built for one function and grudgingly tolerates the rest: an engineering tool with a generic "task" bolted on for everyone else, or a marketing calendar wearing a project-management label. Technology companies end up running three or four disconnected systems, plus a status meeting whose entire purpose is translating between them.

The failure mode is specific, and it repeats: product commits to a launch date based on what engineering said was possible three sprints ago, engineering's actual capacity shifts because two people got pulled onto an incident, and nobody updates the launch date until marketing has already sent calendar invites for a livestream. Nobody lied to anyone. The systems simply never shared a number for "capacity" in the first place, so each team kept planning against its own, slightly outdated version of it.

ShipSprint starts from a different assumption: engineering, product and go-to-market are different vocabularies describing the same company, not three companies that happen to share a bank account. Sprints and story points for engineering, campaigns and launch checklists for marketing, a request queue for whichever team fields the interrupts, all on one subscription, all rolling up into a single view for whoever has to answer "where are we" without convening a meeting to find out.

The advantage compounds as headcount grows. A ten-person startup can hold the whole picture in one Slack channel; a hundred-and-fifty-person one can't, and by then there are usually five teams each running its own workaround, none of which report upward. Fixing that later means migrating five teams off five tools at once. Starting here means it never has to happen.

A launch week, without the reconciliation meeting

Take an ordinary two weeks before a feature launch. Engineering is closing out the last tickets against a sprint forecast; product is deciding whether a rough edge is worth delaying for; marketing has a launch email queued and a blog post half-drafted. In most companies those three facts live in three places, and whoever has to decide "do we ship Tuesday or slip to next Monday" spends half a day pinging three people to reconstruct a picture that should already exist.

Here it doesn't need reconstructing. The engineering board shows the forecast trending on time or not, product's call on the rough edge sits as a wiki page linked from the relevant tickets, and marketing's launch checklist is a board anyone can glance at without asking "is this still Tuesday?" in a channel. The owner command center pulls all three into one screen, so the ship-or-slip call gets made with fifteen minutes of looking, not a half-day of asking around.

Built for engineering, invisible to everyone else

Engineering gets the parts an engineering team actually asks for: branches that move a card automatically, merged pull requests that close it, and burndown and cycle-time charts that show whether a sprint is realistic without anyone building a spreadsheet to check. None of that requires product or marketing to learn Git. They never see it, because their board looks like a campaign calendar or a launch checklist instead.

HR, marketing and operations run their own templates on the same subscription: candidate pipelines and onboarding checklists for HR, content calendars and launch plans for marketing, recurring vendor and request work for ops. It's one bill, in rupees, with GST-compliant invoices, rather than four separate procurement conversations for four teams that report to the same person anyway.

New hires feel this fastest. Someone joining the ops team doesn't get handed the engineering team's board and told to translate; they get an ops board, in ops language, on day one. The person managing all of them still sees one company, not four dialects of "project management" glued together with a shared login.

Who this is actually for

This fits a technology company somewhere past ten or fifteen people, where engineering, product and at least one go-to-market function all exist as real roles rather than the same three founders wearing different hats. Below that size, a shared doc usually still works fine, and there's no shame in staying there until it stops working.

It's a weaker fit for a single-function shop (a dev agency with no product function of its own, or an IT services business running client engagements rather than one product) where a narrower description of the day-to-day fits better than this one does.

Pricing that doesn't require a sales call

• Free runs forever for up to 5 users and 2 projects: enough to see whether one team's board actually gets used.
• Team is ₹299 per user a month, or ₹2,899 a year, for up to 40 users, which covers most engineering or product teams outright.
• Business is ₹599 per user a month, or ₹6,499 a year, and adds delivery forecasts, scorecards, the owner command center and SSO: the plan most multi-team rollouts land on.
• Every paid plan opens with a 14-day full-access trial on Business, a sample project already loaded, no card required.
