Shortcut Erfahrungen

Once you understand the structure of the application, like the epics, stories, and iterations, it becomes very easy to navigate. The collaboration with team members and tracking of features or bugs makes it very valuable for our dev and product teams!

You do get a lot of email notifications when you are mentioned or anything related to you is updated, it would be nice to combine these notifications into one email every couple of hours or so.

This software is a curated experience that intentionally limits setup and flows compared with other products like JIRA which are less "bounded." I think this is better for most teams which do not care to install extra plugins and fight with non-intuitive workflow items.

There are some quirks in group selection and application, filtering, and sorting that do not always let me cross-cut the data the ways I want.

Nothing. I would never choose to use this product after doing a proper comparison of similar tools.

Backlog management is almost non-existent. There's no good issue filtering. Prioritization isn't a first class concept either. Epics can't be linked via dependencies for larger roadmap planning. This puts the primary focus on the team and people instead of the project, which is critical for any useful issue/bug tracker.

Seems silly, but for me, it's the ability to create tasks under a ticket, and be able to convert those into tickets on their own. Jira did not have this, and still doesn't as far as I know, but wouldn't matter - Shortcut is simple to use, and ready to go out of the box.

Doesn't have the brand recognition, so hard to convince others that its the correct solution to use.

The software is so easy to use and was really easy to set up. Almost every integration you could need is also available to make workflow quicker and more automated.

Switching from Projects to Teams has been quite difficult and required that we rework our custom board and views used for our normal agile ceremonies.

The software is incredible, it's easy to use, and the features just feats your team needs.

For Brazil it is a really expensive product, I wouldn't be able to pay the complete version, although I know that the free plan locks features that would be really helpful. Some international companies vary the price based on the exchange rate. That would allow to sell your product here easily. For example, for a team of 7 the price would be $84,00, that makes almost R$500,00 here that is almost the same as all the shopping (food, grocery..) for a family of two for a month. See?Other than that, it would be awesome to be able to change the team shortcut url. When I've created my team account I didn't know that the company name would be used for the URL, now it is very long and very ugly to share.

Shortcut is amazing for non-profits who need a flexible and no- to low-cost task/project management platform.

Unless you work in Agile methodology day in and day out, it can be difficult to understand how to effectively organize tasks/stories into epics and projects.

Very easy to use and integrate across the whole organization. Create cross functional teams working on various projects across the organization.

No Integrated calendar view. No method to migrate stories from one workspace to a new workspace when dividing teams or organizations.

This software has many cool features which helps make my development process easy and fun, and this is very important because you don't wanna worry about other things when you are busy with your product. The task tracking feature is something I love, making a list of sub-tasks in a task is awesome it helps break down and simplify task. It's super easy to use Shortcut features without going into much details as it's self reflective.

As of right now I haven't across anything that is annoying or considered as disadvantage. I'm sure team Shortcut will be up for any feedback.

What I like most about Shortcut is how easy the overall platform is to use! It’s very easy to plan out projects and tasks, and it’s easy to track the progress of the projects and tasks. You can easily collaborate with others in the platform and ensure everything gets done in a timely fashion!

There is nothing that I like least about this software.

We love the team collaboration and flexible storyboard features. It works well across disciplines such as scrum and kanban.

It's difficult to rank and order the importance of UserStories relative to other systems I've used.

Shortcut is easy to jump in, set up, and use right away. I also like the ticket creation modal as it's all in one screen and there's no scrolling.

The beauty of it - it's simplicity - can also be its downfall. It doesn't offer as much customization as other competitors do - such as release management, custom fields, complex workflows, etc.

The ability to create epics and cards at a basic level is good enough for most use cases. However, Shortcut also offers many more features such as teams, projects, iterations, and many more making this tool useful for so many people.

The first thing I do when opening my work laptop is go to my Shortcut dashboard. I look over all of myself and my teams different tasks and track their progress. As well as give myself action items by assigning myself a card. This in result boots my productivity tremendously.

Has a little bit of a learning curve due to the amount of features and customization it offers. Don’t feel guilty by not using it to its full potential because there is a lot to unpack.

Ease of use, clear visualization, integration with other tools e.g. Slack and Bitbucket/Github.

I'm very happy with this software. I don't really have any cons. It would be nice if it were completely free, but it is valuable to me either way.

This product is simple and easy to use! The features Shortcut offers are intuitive. It is very easy to filter tasks or bugs and all the data looks very organized. Each task/bug story is very easy to drag and drop to a new workflow state, and you can see every workflow state and their stories at once which makes it very easy to assess the status of a project and see what features and bugs still need to be completed. It is also easy to filter stories by project or user, tag other users in a story, and link stories together in the order they need to be completed.

We just us this software internally. It would be cool if we could use this externally with our clients as well, and be able to hide certain workflow states or story comments from them, and/or hide client comments from the devs and let the project manager interface between the devs and clients.

Shortcut works very well for simple agile management and task tracking. Its very easy to collaborate in real time. Its very simple to use compared to other tools, though somewhat less feature rich than competitors.
Its much less developer centric than some competitors which makes it more approachable for non-technical contributors (product managers, support staff, business analysts, etc).

It has very few integrations overall compared to JIRA and is much less automated as a result. This can put more work on developers to maintain the cards than they would in competitor's products. Search is also not great which can make it hard to lookup tickets and can cause duplicates / confusion when people can't find the original ticket.

I’ve used more complex software for ticket management and simpler tools, and Shortcut is the right balance of features, cost and ease of use.

Shortcut recently added Teams to their system which doesn’t work well with our workflow.

I like the visuals, the ease-of-use, everything is pretty intuitive even the first time you're using it. It's been a couple of years since my team started using it, and it works very well for us.

The name change recently forced us to adapt a lot of our automation regarding the app, but the reason for it was understandable.

Slight learning curve when setting everything up but very easy & convenient to use afterwards

I often receive numerous files (ex. images) & links to mocks from our design team. It would be nice to have a more organized section that holds all attachments instead of them all being listed in the comments

Flexible design allows for different teams to work in different flows.
Labels are extremely unstructured and therefore flexible to be used in different ways as needed.

Write feature (documentation) is very important to us both for general documentation and for documents pertaining to specific projects / epics, but it's very buggy / not being developed anymore.

No more mobile app.
