The perfect tool for software projects using Kanban

Comentarios: Clubhouse helps us manage agile software projects better than ever before. With other tools it feels like we are forcing it to try to accommodate our workflow, but with Clubhouse it feels like it was designed exactly for our use.

Puntos a favor:

Clubhouse brought us a new set of features and ways to organize stories and tasks that we didn't know we wanted/needed. We have always stuck with tools that were able to help improve our kanban based workflow rather than the simple project board tools like Trello that cater to everyone more than software/product development specifically. There are few tools out there that provide what we are looking for: the ability to organize and label stories with more granularity than a single label (estimates, types, project, priorities, epic, etc), and the ability to have reports like velocity and burndown charts.

Puntos en contra:

It is a very small thing, but it would be nice if we could adjust the color scheme of both things like labels beyond the default options, as well as adjust the overall interface colors.

Simple to use and provides enough features to run and manage sprints for a small team

Puntos a favor:

- Simple to learn and navigate so the team could quickly start using the product after switching- Love the dark mode and the colour coding of different story types i.e bug, feature or chore so it's easy to see things at the high level- Easy to create sprints and I like the summaries provided on the story points

Puntos en contra:

- You can only write stories in markdown text. Not a big issue since I've become really good at it! But it'd be good if there was a text editor instead- Sometimes when I create a story and I accidentally click out of it, I lose the progress. It'd be good if they had a draft functionality where the stories get created as a draft straight away

Razones para elegir Shortcut: We needed something that was more focused on sprint management

Software anterior: Notion

Razones para cambiar a Shortcut: JIRA has a quite suite of features however it was too complex for what we were looking for. We need something to track our sprints and features and shortcut was perfect for that.

While Clubhouse can do some things well, it is lacking in many areas

Comentarios: My experience with Clubhouse was not great to say the least. While the UI is promising, and the price per user is much lower than others, you get what you pay for. Like too many other project management apps, there is not enough focus on the time being tracked vs a budget for the project you are working on. The project layers overlap in a way that would be good if you were working on individual projects for a larger product, but not if you are working on individual projects geared towards individual clients.

Puntos a favor:

I think the best part of Clubhouse is the robust API that can allow a dev team to add or complement to the existing platform. Clubhouse seems designed for teams focusing on a product or a small portfolio of similar products or complimentary features. It does not seem designed for a consulting or agency style development shop.

Puntos en contra:

Clubhouse is lacking in a number of areas that should be expected features in agile project management software. Completion dates are buried, no project budgeting or hourly rates, no invoicing or adding expenses, time tracking, resource management, personal task lists, custom fields, dependencies. It also seemed overwhelming to get set up and running.

When compared to some of its competitors, it is easy to use.

Puntos a favor:

I have utilized various project management software tools, but this particular one hits the mark. Its speed, intuitiveness, and inclusion of all desired features make it stand out. Moreover, it does not necessitate extensive configuration to start using. The capacity for groups to collaborate and provide input on stories and epics is tremendously advantageous for my team. Additionally, the roadmap feature is ideal for teams accustomed to changes. The drag-and-drop functionality for each milestone/epic on the roadmap is remarkably user-friendly.

Puntos en contra:

While I don't have any major issues with Shortcut, I do wish it had a feature to save drafts for tickets. Occasionally, the page refreshes and I lose my progress on a draft. Although refreshing the page typically resolves the issue, it can still be a bit buggy.
