Six workflows an engineering team runs every sprint, mapped onto what the product
does today.
Sprints and goals
Run a list per sprint, or a folder per epic that spans several. Attach a
goal with a numeric target — story points closed, bugs resolved — and watch
it roll up automatically as tasks move to done, so "how's the sprint going"
has a number behind it instead of a gut feeling in standup.
Dependency chains on the timeline
Draw a dependency between two tasks and the timeline tells you what slips
when something slips — before it's a surprise in the retro. Mark the release
date as a milestone and the whole team can see, at a glance, whether the
chain of work behind it still lands on time.
WIP limits on the board
Cap "In Review" at the number of pull requests one reviewer can realistically
get through, and the board makes the bottleneck visible before it's a pile of
stale branches. Custom statuses mean the board matches your actual pipeline —
Backlog, In Progress, In Review, QA, Done — not a generic three-column
default.
Bug intake via a public form
A public form takes bug reports from anyone — a support rep, a beta user, a
stakeholder — without them needing an account, and the submission lands
directly in the bug list. Custom fields for environment, severity and repro
steps mean the details you'd normally chase down in a comment thread arrive
as structured data from the first message.
Custom fields for environment & severity
Add exactly the fields an engineering list needs — environment, severity,
affected version, a link to the failing build — without those fields showing
up on a list that doesn't need them. Filter and save a view for "Severity:
Critical, Status: Open" once, and stop rebuilding it every stand-up.
REST API, webhooks and MCP
119+ documented REST endpoints behind scoped API
keys mean CI can open a task when a build fails and close it when the fix
merges. Webhooks push status changes into Slack. And the built-in MCP server
hands an AI assistant 87 tools — create a task, read
a sprint, log time — so the tracker can be driven from a conversation, not
just a UI.
