Project Management Software for Software Development Teams in Tel Aviv

The roadmap moved; the board didn't

When priorities change mid-sprint, the first thing to go stale is the board. Developers switch to the new work and leave old cards where they were. Within a week, the board shows a plan that no longer exists, and the only accurate status is in people's heads and the repository.

ShipSprint reads status from the repository. On Team and up, opening a branch for a task moves its card and merging the pull request closes it, so what the board shows is what has actually happened in GitHub, whatever changed in the roadmap meeting.

Per-column WIP limits stop half-finished work from piling up when priorities shift. If "In review" is full, the board says so, and the team finishes something before picking up the next urgent thing.

Sprints through the autumn holidays

Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot fall close together in the autumn and cut into several sprints in a row; Passover does the same in spring. Capacity planning on Team and up counts approved leave, out-of-office and public holidays, so commitments for those weeks are made on the days people will actually work. If teammates abroad aren't on the same holidays, their availability goes into the same plan.

Many firms here work Sunday to Thursday. Use the trial to check that your sprint dates and capacity look right for your working days before you roll it out.

Where you need hours, logging takes about five seconds beside the task just finished, and reminders go to the developer, not the manager. There are no screenshots, keystroke logs or activity tracking. On Business, scorecards are leave-adjusted and visible to the developer they describe.

Using ShipSprint from Tel Aviv: four checks

Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in Hyderabad, India, builds ShipSprint. There's no office or local entity in Israel, and support is handled by email and in-app chat.

Time zones. IST is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead of Tel Aviv in winter and 2 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer. A GitHub setup question sent in your morning arrives in the Indian afternoon and usually gets a same-day answer; include the repository and the error text. Sunday is usually not an Indian working day.

Billing. Seats are billed in Indian rupees through Razorpay, and your bank converts the charge to shekels. Your accountant can tell you how Israeli VAT treats a service bought from abroad.

Data protection. User details pasted into bug reports are personal data under Israel's Protection of Privacy Law. Read the sub-processor list and the security overview, and check them against your obligations and any customer contracts.
