How ShipSprint works

A walk through the product, one feature area at a time — what each part does, what it looks like, and who it’s for. Jump straight to what you care about:

1 Sign up — 60 seconds

Your workspace opens with a sample project already on the board, so you see how everything works immediately. No card required.

2 Invite your team, pick templates

Add people, choose a template per team — software, HR, marketing, operations — and assign managers. The guided checklist walks you through it.

3 Everything starts flowing

Boards fill, hours arrive from five-second logs, forecasts appear as sprints complete — and Monday morning the first digest lands. Nobody had to chase anyone.

01 · Plan the work

Boards, backlog, sprints and a roadmap — per team.

New requests land in a triage inbox, get planned into sprints against real capacity, and roll up to a roadmap you can show a client. Each team starts from its own template.

  • Boards with per-column WIP limits
  • Backlog with a triage inbox for new requests
  • Sprints with capacity warnings at planning time
  • Story points, estimates and velocity
  • Roadmap and timeline (Gantt) views
  • Releases and versions
  • Project templates per team

02 · Do the work

Everyone’s day starts on one calm screen.

“My day” shows today’s items and a five-second time log — and every item carries its whole story: rich descriptions, comments, mentions and history.

  • A “My day” home screen — today’s items, one-tap time log
  • Rich descriptions and comments with @mentions
  • Watchers, issue links and backlinks
  • Custom fields, types, priorities and labels
  • Full change history on every item
  • Command palette — jump anywhere with ⌘K
  • Notification preferences per event type

Your own scorecard is always visible to you — no review-day surprises.

03 · Your built-in assistant

A quiet teammate, not a taskmaster.

  • Forgot to log hours? A private nudge only you see — most days, that’s the end of it
  • Stuck? One tap on “I’m blocked” brings the right person in, with full context
  • It follows up on stalled work politely — so colleagues never have to nag colleagues
  • Works where you work: connect Claude or ChatGPT and create tickets, update work and log time straight from chat
  • Friday it celebrates what shipped — the whole team sees the same wins

Quietly, just to you 2 hours from yesterday aren’t logged — one tap and it’s done.
You replied “I’m blocked” Your manager gets the blocker with full context — help comes to you.
Friday, to the whole team Sprint wrapped: 34 items shipped, forecasts updated. Nice week.
04 · Write it down

The team wiki lives next to the work.

Specs, decisions and meeting notes in the same tool as the boards — so any sentence in a page can become a tracked task, and nothing lives in a second subscription.

  • A team wiki: spaces, pages and per-space membership
  • Tables, code blocks, callouts and checklists
  • Full page history — compare and restore any version
  • Comments on any page, resolved inline
  • Page templates for recurring documents
  • Select a sentence, turn it into a task
  • Search across every page — readable and writable from Claude or ChatGPT
Notes — Payments launch plan
Decisions — 12 Aug

Gateway: Razorpay first, PhonePe in the next sprint.

Add a retry queue for failed webhooks → became task PAY-31

Rollout: 10% of customers behind a flag, then everyone.

Every edit in page history · restore any version
05 · Know where you stand

Reports that answer questions, not decorate slides.

Because hours and progress arrive as a side effect of normal work, the numbers underneath are real — real velocity, real cycle time, forecasts you can promise.

  • Five-second time logging and per-project timesheets
  • Velocity, burndown and cumulative flow
  • Cycle time and lead time per issue
  • Utilization and workload per person
  • Delivery forecasts as best / likely / worst dates
  • Export any report to CSV, or print to PDF

06 · Works where you already are

Run your projects from Claude or ChatGPT.

ShipSprint speaks MCP , the open standard assistants use to call real tools. Connect it once and your assistant stops guessing — it reads and updates the actual board.

  • Connect it in one click from your profile — no config files, no local install
  • Sixteen tools, not a chat toy: create and update issues, comment, log time, search — and read, write and append to the team wiki
  • It acts with your exact permissions — an assistant can never see or do more than you can
  • Every action lands in the audit log like any other, attributed to you
  • Prefer to script it? The same actions are a plain REST API with personal tokens

07 · Run the company

Admin, security and billing — boring, in the best way.

The controls the person who signs the cheque needs, already there when you go looking for them — and your data stays exportable, always.

  • Roles and permissions per project and space
  • Two-factor authentication on any account
  • A full audit log of every admin action
  • Out-of-office — reminders skip people on leave
  • Export your whole workspace as JSON
  • GST-compliant invoices and annual billing

08 · Built for every seat in the house

Most trackers serve one audience and tax everyone else.

MAKERS FIRST

Deep work, protected.

  1. 01 A “My day” home screen: today’s items, a one-tap time log, and nothing else shouting at you
  2. 02 Your board, your words — candidates for HR, campaigns for marketing, sprints for engineering
  3. 03 A built-in team wiki with page history — decisions live next to the work, and any sentence can become a task
  4. 04 Your own scorecard, always visible to you — no review-day surprises
  5. 05 Stuck? One tap on “I’m blocked” brings the right person in, with full context

Your own scorecard is always visible to you — no review-day surprises.

Tools that only serve the boss get abandoned by the team. ShipSprint works because everyone gets something out of it.

09 · For every department

One subscription runs the whole company.

Engineering gets the full kit.

Sprints, story points, releases, burndown and cycle-time analytics. GitHub branches move cards and merged pull requests close them automatically.

Same product. Engineering’s own vocabulary.

10 · The deal we make with your team

Visibility without surveillance.

Yes, ShipSprint measures work — openly, fairly, and in both directions. Here’s the contract, in writing.

Your numbers, your eyes first

Everyone sees their own stats — the same ones a manager sees. Measurement you can see is feedback. Measurement you can’t is surveillance.

Private before anything else

Reminders go quietly to the person first. Escalation is the rare exception for persistent gaps — not the daily routine.

Leave-adjusted, always

Time off never counts against anyone. Scorecards and reminders respect who’s actually at work.

No spyware. Ever.

No screenshots, no keystrokes, no activity tracking. We measure delivered items, logged hours and on-time % — nothing else.
