Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Munich
A five-person Munich startup inherits the city's precision-engineering standards without an engineering firm's headcount to deliver on them.
Precision expectations, startup-sized team
Munich is headquarters territory for some of Germany's largest engineering and industrial names, and that culture of scrutinized estimates and defensible capacity planning reaches software teams too, even a five-person startup with no direct connection to a production line. Investors and early customers here tend to expect the same rigor a much bigger company would show, and "we'll figure it out as we go" lands worse than it might in a scrappier city.
The trouble is that most tools built for that kind of discipline, real capacity planning, forecasts that hold up under scrutiny, are priced and built for the larger engineering organizations that already have it. A founding team doesn't have a program manager to run that process by hand, and it can't afford software priced as if it did.
ShipSprint's Free plan covers 5 users and 2 projects, permanently, with per-column WIP limits and velocity-based forecasting included from that first plan onward, not gated behind an enterprise tier. One subscription runs engineering, hiring, marketing and operations together, so a founder covering three roles doesn't also need a fourth tool for the fifth function.
A founder covering three roles at once needs the fastest possible read on what matters today, not a full project to parse before an investor call. "My day" is that read: today's items, a one-tap time log, and a single tap to flag being blocked that routes straight to whoever can help.
What an early Munich startup actually needs
5 users and 2 projects, free permanently, not a trial that expires right as an early customer starts asking hard questions.
Engineering, hiring, marketing and operations each keep their own board and forecasting, so the same discipline that applies to sprints applies to hiring and marketing too, under one subscription.
There's no configuration project or onboarding call before WIP limits and forecasting are live. A board is ready to use as soon as it's created.
Design choices and technical rationale sit next to the project they affect, with full page history, so the reasoning survives past the person who made the call.
"My day" opens by default instead of the whole project: today's assigned items, a one-tap time log, and a tap to flag being blocked that routes directly to whoever can help.
A forecast an early investor can actually trust
A plan built at kickoff and never revisited is, in effect, an opinion dressed up as a schedule. That's a real problem for a founder answering to an early investor or a first enterprise customer, since a slipping date discovered on the day it was due leaves no room for a proactive conversation.
ShipSprint calculates delivery forecasts from the team's own measured velocity as sprints close out, available at every plan including Free, so the number improves as real data accumulates rather than staying pinned to a guess made in week one. A date genuinely at risk shows up weeks ahead, giving a founder time to reallocate before it becomes a missed commitment in front of someone whose opinion matters.
ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a company registered in India, with no Munich or German entity. Billing is in rupees; talk to your accountant about the exchange rate and how VAT applies on your end, since Quantuva does not issue EU VAT invoices.
The rigor Munich expects of a schedule doesn't extend to watching how each hour was spent. Screenshots, keystroke logs and activity trackers aren't part of the product, on Free or any paid tier. A scorecard reflects delivered work and hours a person logs themselves, adjusted for leave, and it stays with the person it describes, not a review committee.
Questions from Munich startups
Yes. Every column carries its own enforced limit, and forecasts are calculated from your own team's measured velocity, on the Free plan the same as on Business. Nothing is held back for a higher tier.
No. The contracting entity is Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., registered in India. There's no German subsidiary, and billing is handled in rupees rather than euros.
Yes. Every page keeps its edit history, so you can see how a decision or a spec evolved over time, and any sentence on a page can be turned into a task without copying it elsewhere first.
Free covers up to 5 users and 2 projects, permanently. Team is ₹299 per user per month for up to 40 users. Business is ₹599 and adds forecasting, leave-adjusted scorecards, the owner command center, priority support, unlimited projects and SSO. Details are on the pricing page.
