Project Management Software for Software Development Teams in Leeds
Leeds engineering teams often sit inside a financial or legal services business that thinks in billable hours while the software team thinks in sprints. ShipSprint keeps the burndown honest either way.
An engineering team surrounded by people who track everything in hours
A Leeds software team built to serve the city's dense financial and legal services sector often works inside a company where everyone else, legal, accountancy, financial operations, tracks their day in billable hours down to the minute. The engineering team next door runs sprints instead, and that difference in vocabulary makes it easy to assume the engineering board is just as precise. It usually isn't. A card sits in "in progress" because someone finished the work and moved on without dragging it across, and the burndown chart quietly stops reflecting anything real.
That gap is more visible here than most places, because the rest of the business is used to numbers that reconcile. A finance partner who expects an accurate utilisation report every month has a low tolerance for an engineering burndown that turns out to be aspirational.
ShipSprint closes that gap without adding a manual reporting step. A branch tied to a card moves it the moment work starts. A merged pull request closes it. Burndown and cycle-time analytics build themselves from that merge history, so the engineering numbers hold up to the same scrutiny the rest of the firm applies to its own.
Built around merge history, not memory
Numbers an engineering team can stand behind next to a firm that already expects precision from everyone else.
Open a branch tied to a card and it advances on the board automatically, no drag required to reflect that work has started.
A merged pull request closes its card on its own, so a card marked done matches what actually shipped.
Burndown and cycle-time analytics are calculated from actual merge history, not a status field someone forgot to click.
Per-column WIP limits and a triage inbox keep new requests planned against real capacity, the same discipline the rest of the firm expects.
Delivery forecasts are calculated from the team's own completed sprints, so a date at risk surfaces weeks early, not on the day it's due.
A sprint review that doesn't start with "let me check"
A lot of sprint reviews spend their first minutes with a lead reconciling cards against the repo, and that time adds up in a business that also expects engineers to log billable hours accurately. When the board takes its state from GitHub directly, that reconciliation step disappears entirely.
A built-in wiki keeps architectural decisions next to the work they affect, with page history, useful when a decision made mid-sprint needs to be explained to a partner months later. Any sentence on a wiki page can become a task directly. And the same five-second time logging that fee-earners rely on works for engineers just as well, so hours can roll up into the firm's utilisation view without a separate timesheet tool.
ShipSprint is built by Quantuva Technologies Pvt. Ltd., registered in India, and billed in rupees. That's a fact about where the company is based, not a claim of UK presence or local support hours.
Questions from Leeds dev teams
Yes. Time logging takes about five seconds and sits next to the task just closed, and the underlying hours roll up the same way whether they're being tracked for a sprint retro or a firm-wide utilisation report. Engineering doesn't need a separate timesheet system to satisfy finance.
No. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging and no activity tracking. Only delivered work and hours the person logged themselves. Scorecards are visible to the person they describe and adjusted for approved leave.
