Project Management Software for IT Companies in Seoul

Fixed scope, moving requirements

A client build is usually signed against a scope document and a set of milestones. Then the work starts, and the requests begin: a field added to a form, a report in a different format, an integration the client forgot to mention. Each one seems small, so it's accepted in a meeting, and by the last milestone the project is weeks behind with no record of why.

ShipSprint gives those requests a route. Everything new from the client goes into a triage inbox. The project manager decides whether it's in scope, a change request to price, or something for after go-live, and only then does it reach the board. The original requirements live in the built-in wiki with page history, so when a client says "this was always included", you can see what the page said at signing.

Any sentence in that requirements page can become a task, so the scope document and the backlog stay linked from the start.

Hours against each client project

On Team and up, engineers log time in about five seconds next to the task they've just finished. Every task belongs to a client's project, so hours accumulate per client without month-end sorting. Timesheets collect each person's week, and reminders for blank days go to the engineer, not their manager.

On a fixed-price build, those hours are the early warning. When logged effort runs ahead of the plan, it's visible while there's still time to raise a change request with the evidence attached. On a time-and-materials contract, they're the basis of the invoice.

There are no screenshots, keystroke logs or activity tracking. The hours are what engineers record.

Milestones that cross Seollal or Chuseok

Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok are each usually a three-day holiday, and they move with the lunar calendar. A milestone set for the week after either one has less working time behind it than the plan assumes, and a Korean client's team will usually be on the same break when you need their sign-off.

On Team and up, capacity planning counts public holidays, approved leave and out-of-office, so the plan for those weeks is based on real availability. It's worth agreeing with the client, before the contract is signed, which milestones fall near the holidays and what that means for review and acceptance.

Before a Seoul IT firm signs up

Who you're buying from. Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad, India, makes ShipSprint. There's no office or local entity in South Korea; support runs by email and in-app chat.

Time zones. IST is 3 hours 30 minutes behind Seoul, with no daylight saving on either side. The Indian working day starts around your lunchtime, so send setup questions in the morning; support usually replies the same working day, Indian time, which can mean your evening.

Billing. Seats are charged in Indian rupees through Razorpay, with your bank converting to won. Ask your accountant how Korean VAT treats a service bought from abroad.

Data protection. Client systems often hold personal data, and anything copied into tickets falls under Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) as well as your client contracts. Compare the sub-processor list and the security overview with both before you load client material.
