MONTREAL × SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS

Project Management Software for Software Development Teams in Montreal

A Montreal standup can switch from French to English mid-sentence, and a card's position on a board needs no translation either way. ShipSprint gets that position from GitHub, not from whoever remembered to update it.

A card that moves itself doesn't need to be written up in either language

Montreal's mix of game studios and AI research groups, many clustered around Mile-End and the Plateau, run sprint boards the same way any engineering team does, and hit the same quiet failure: an engineer finishes a task, moves to the next one, and the card sits in "in progress" because dragging it across a column wasn't the priority. In a bilingual team specifically, that gap is worse than it looks, since a board that leans on written status updates to explain itself becomes a translation problem nobody asked for, on top of the burndown chart already being wrong.

A card's board position, on the other hand, needs no writing up in either official language. It either moved or it didn't. That only works, though, if the thing moving the card is the actual work, not a person remembering to report it.

ShipSprint's boards take their status from GitHub directly. A branch tied to a card advances it the moment work starts. A merged pull request closes it. Burndown and cycle-time analytics build themselves from that merge history, so the board stays legible across languages because nobody had to write anything to make it accurate.

Built around merge history, not memory

Mechanics that work the same way regardless of which language a given engineer wrote their commit messages in.

Branches move cards

Open a branch tied to a card and it advances on the board on its own, no drag required to reflect that work has started.

Merges close cards

A merged pull request closes its card automatically, so the board tracks the code rather than a status update.

Burndown from real history

Burndown and cycle-time analytics build from actual merge history, legible without a written report in either language.

A WIP-limited backlog

Per-column WIP limits give a research team room to model exploratory work honestly, while a production team next door runs tighter sprints on the same system.

Forecasts from measured velocity

Delivery forecasts are calculated from each team's own measured velocity, so a slipping date surfaces weeks before it's due.

A sprint review that doesn't start with "let me check"

A lot of sprint reviews spend their opening minutes with a lead reconciling the board against the repo, and that reconciliation is itself often conducted in whichever language happens to come up first, adding friction a bilingual team doesn't need. When the board takes its state from GitHub directly, that step disappears before the review even starts.

A built-in wiki holds the reasoning a burndown chart can't, why an architecture decision got made, why a research direction got picked, with page history that stays findable regardless of who wrote it. Any sentence on a wiki page can become a task directly.

ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in India and billed in rupees, a fact about invoicing, not a claim about being local to Quebec. Support runs on Indian hours rather than Eastern time, and the product is built around that gap rather than needing it closed: forecasts and digests generate themselves, and status lives in the board rather than in a conversation that has to happen at a particular hour.

FAQ

Questions from Montreal dev teams

The product interface is in English. What travels well regardless of the language a team works in is the board itself, since status is shown by column and position, driven by GitHub activity, rather than by written updates that need translating.
