AMSTERDAM × SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS

Project Management Software for Software Development Teams in Amsterdam

An Amsterdam scale-up's velocity changes every quarter, new hires ramp up, seniors leave, and a burndown chart built on stale manual updates can't keep up either. ShipSprint's boards get status from GitHub, not from someone remembering to drag a card.

A shared spreadsheet was never the real problem

Amsterdam's tech scene, clustered around the Zuidas and spreading well beyond it, has produced a lot of companies that grew from a handful of founders into several hundred people within a few years. The instinct at that point is usually to blame the shared spreadsheet that tracked everything at twenty people and buy a heavier tool. The actual sprint board underneath often has the same quiet failure regardless: 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 that day.

A burndown chart built on that kind of lag is close to useless at a scale-up specifically, since velocity is already changing constantly as new hires ramp up and a reorg shifts who's on which team. Adding manual update lag on top of that just compounds an already unreliable number.

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 numbers move with the team as it actually is today, not as it was when the sprint started.

Built around merge history, not memory

A number that recalculates itself is less a nice-to-have and more a basic requirement of planning at scale-up pace.

Branches move cards

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

Merges close cards

A merged pull request closes its card on its own, without manual updates, even as the team doubles in size.

Burndown from real history

Burndown and cycle-time analytics are calculated from actual merge history, keeping pace with a velocity that changes every quarter.

A WIP-limited backlog

Boards carry WIP limits so a team plans against real capacity rather than an optimistic sprint goal set months ago.

Forecasts from measured velocity

ShipSprint recalculates delivery forecasts as each sprint closes, so the estimate reflects current reality, not an assumption baked in last quarter.

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

A lot of sprint reviews open with a lead reconciling the board against the repo before the actual conversation, a habit that gets more expensive, not less, once a company is growing across departments at the same time. When the board takes its state from GitHub directly, that reconciliation step disappears.

A built-in wiki grows with the company too, keeping decisions attached to the work they affect, with full page history, so a policy or an architecture choice made when the company was thirty people is still findable once it's three hundred and the person who made the call has moved to a different team. Any sentence on a wiki page can become a task directly.

Start on the free trial with your actual backlog, not a demo dataset. Fourteen days of full Business access with a sample project preloaded is usually enough to see whether the board, driven by real GitHub merge history rather than manual updates, holds up against real work before you commit anyone's time to a rollout.
