About Backlog

Backlog is an all-in-one project management tool for developers and their teams with capabilities such as issue tracking, version control and wiki on a single platform. Core features include projects, burndown charts, Gantt charts, issues, watchlists, subtasking, comment threads, file sharing and bug tracking. The platform is intuitive for non-developers and can be accessed while on the go via mobile app for Android and iOS.

Backlog helps users prioritize and manage tasks within projects through collaboration across teams and to-do lists, while tracking overall progress. Users can communicate project updates, discuss plans, and submit work requests to teams, and securely share files, from legal documents to web design work. Backlog helps keep users up to date on overall project status and provides cumulative summaries and individual milestone tracking.

Backlog automatically generates and updates Gantt charts in real time to help with project planning, allowing users to slice and dice charts by assignee, milestone or category, and export to Excel. Version control features provide web-based, Git and Subversion repositories for engineering and design teams with no installation required. Built-in features include custom fields, user permissions, email integration, and wiki for creating meeting notes, project plans, and product requirements.

Backlog enables project management while on the go with its mobile app for iOS and Android that allows users to keep track of issue changes and comments, and get mobile alerts and notifications anywhere.

    Where Tasks Meet Their Match and Teams Get Stuff Done!

    Reviewed on 12/10/2023

    Pros

    It's like the ultimate to-do list on steroids! Seriously, it's got all your tasks in one place, making it a total breeze to keep track of what needs to be done. A must-have for efficient project management.

    Cons

    It restricts file storage for larger files, which can be limiting for projects requiring extensive data. The length of task lists can become overwhelming, potentially causing tasks to be misplaced or overlooked.
