Shortcut

Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) is a project management platform built specifically for software developers that excels in collaborative planning and bug tracking. It strikes a thoughtful balance between power and simplicity, offering robust Agile features without the overwhelming complexity of some enterprise tools. A standout feature is its built-in Story Maps, which allow teams to visualize the entire customer journey and how features (and bug fixes) fit into the larger product narrative.

Shortcut embraces modern practices like skipping story point estimation in favor of cycle-based forecasting. Its workflow is centered around Epics, Stories, and Iterations, with seamless integrations for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket that link code commits directly to work items.

The interface is clean and intuitive, promoting collaboration between engineering, product, and design. Shortcut is ideal for Agile teams that value narrative-driven development, clear visibility into project scope, and a tool that facilitates planning discussions as effectively as it tracks execution.

It provides a compelling middle ground between the simplicity of Trello and the formidable power of Jira.
