Project Management Software for Technology Startups in Kochi
For Kochi founding teams running a product build, a few customer pilots and their first hires at the same time. How ShipSprint keeps those in one place, starting free, and when paying starts to make sense.

A product, three pilots and a hiring plan
An early startup is rarely doing one thing. The product is half built, two or three customers are trying it in pilots with their own requests and deadlines, and the founders are hiring the first engineers while also preparing for the next investor conversation. Each of those has its own list, and usually its own tool or chat group.
ShipSprint can hold all of it in one workspace. The product backlog is a sprint board. Each pilot can be its own project, so one customer's requests and dates don't get mixed up with another's, and the hiring pipeline uses the HR template. Everyone opens to a "my day" screen with just their own items for today.
On Free, up to 5 users get the core boards and every template across 2 projects, with no time limit. A team running several pilots will outgrow 2 projects quickly; Team, at ₹299 per user per month, allows up to 100.
Keeping pilot customers honest, and yourselves
A pilot customer's requests are valuable and dangerous: each one is a signal, and each one can derail the roadmap. Requests from every pilot go into a triage inbox, where a founder decides what gets built and what waits. The decision and the reason go on a page in the built-in wiki, with page history, so the next conversation with that customer starts from what was agreed. Any sentence on the page can become a task.
When a developer is stuck waiting on a pilot customer for data or access, "I'm blocked" brings in whoever owns that relationship, with the context attached. Per-column WIP limits keep a small team from starting more than it can finish.
Moments that usually mean it's time for Team or Business
Free stops at 5 users. Team takes up to 40, with timesheets, the manager dashboard and capacity planning.
On Team and up, GitHub branches move cards and merged pull requests close them.
On Team and up, Claude Code, Cursor and others connect over MCP, with each person's own permissions.
Business adds delivery forecasts from measured velocity, the owner command center and a Monday digest.
Onam, festivals and a tiny team
Onam, usually in August or September, is Kerala's big regional festival. In a startup of five, two people away that week halves what's possible, which matters if a pilot deadline falls nearby. Capacity planning on Team and up counts approved leave, out-of-office and public holidays, including Diwali, Holi and the regional festivals of early hires from other states, which vary by state. If you work some Saturdays, plan on the days people are actually in.
No one is monitored: there are no screenshots, keystroke logs or activity tracking. And every plan includes a full JSON export, so the company's record of its early decisions stays yours.
