Shortcut is a project management tool lauded for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and seamless integration with popular tools like GitHub and Slack. Users appreciate its streamlined workflow, particularly compared to more complex alternatives like Jira. However, some users report performance issues, including slow load times and a memory leak that can impact laptop performance. Additionally, Shortcut's lack of a calendar view for tracking incidents and limited customization options for workflows are areas for improvement.

The home page is great for helping organize different tasks. It allows me manage my discovery work along with projects in flight.
There used to be an email alert when you get tagged but not anymore:(
Managing Product & development work
Very accessible/easy to use, particularly with how new I am to remote work. I particularly like all the capabilities & functionality within stories. I've only have experience with Wrike outside of Shortcut & I find Shortcut to be far easier to navigate/use.
I'm still pretty new, so excuse me not knowing about something that may already exist, but I wish there was a way in which to highlight stories that are assigned to me while being within the 'Everything' spaces, while still showing all of the other stories.
Shortcut provides me an easy way to sort through tasks, particularly when our team has several projects working at the same time. Being able to comment, checking off tasks, the points system & the plugin functionality(Figma etc.) really make Shortcut a breeze to use in a fully remote environment.
I love Clubhouse because it's really organized, and it gives you a lot of options to classify the requests based on the nature of the issue/request.
You can add followers to every story and everyone will get notified if there are any comments added.
It is very easy to find the stories ''requested by me'' and you can have a clear picture of what state each request is at.
What I was having a hard time at first, was the text formatting, like bolding or italicizing the text, also adding numbers or bullet points. Other than that, I haven't had any issues using this tool.
If you need a tool to manage a huge number of requests within the company, this one is 100% worth it.
At the company I work, we use clubhouse a lot and it helps us resolve issues faster, keep track of the tickets, monitor the progress, and also due to the visibility we can easily check if a certain issue has been reported or not, which saves us a lot of time.
I've used a lot of project management software tools (Jira, Waffle, Pivotal Tracker) and this one just gets it right. It's intuitive, fast and has all the features I want. Also, it doesn't require a ton of configuration to get going.
The only complaint I have is that the Iterations list and detail views are a bit difficult to use. The list view needs to be simpler and the detail view could find a better way to show status and users simultaneously. But these are small complaints compared to how much I love the rest of the interface.
It makes planning move a lot faster for our team. The tool gets out of the way of what we want to do. It moves so fast that you can prototype a project in the tool rather than having to work around it to get it to do what you think it should.
Milestones, Epics, Stories and reports. Ok, that's 4 things, but it brings us really excellent visibility into our project work.
I would still like to be able to set WIP limits on columns.
We are a small team with multiple projects and a lot of shifting priorities. Shortcut really helps us keep a lot of this organized while letting us maintain our project flow.
Shortcut's interface is highly user-friendly. One can easily track several projects across different functions and departments. Additionally, it provides dashboard capabilities whoch can be used to derive meaningful insights.
It doesn't allow to tag stories with decimal estimate points for example 0.5. This often makes it difficult to scope for adhoc and low priority work.
Highly recommend giving Clubhouse a try as it's a single-point solution for addressing issues around project management, agile, and sprints. Provides a whole bunch of exquisite features that help in increase operational efficiencies for your organization.
Our entire suite of projects is managed and tracked on Shortcut as it's our go-to tool for Project Management. Previously tracking status for data science projects was proving to be challenging considering the humungous amount of rework and adhoc requests from clients. This issue was resolved within Shortcut by making use of their third party integrations.
One of the most valuable features is integration with Github, as it allows developers to integrate and manage their stories directly with their feature branches. You can also have logs and messages triggered to your slack channel for every deployment model run through the slack integration capability.
powerful like JIRA, but fast and intuitive so other people can interact besides engineers
requires some setup of your workflows to use it successfully
need to size, plan and keep track of and coordinate work across multiple initiatives, sprints, teams
Shortcut has a clean visualization for the most crowded information that there could be in a teamwork. We use this tool every day to coordinate the work and it is very easy to navigate for every team member.
Nothing is missing from my perspective. I am enjoying use it more than other scrum tools like Jira for example.
It is much better than Trello, way more advanced. I would adopt this tool for the scrum teams.
Team coordination is way simpler with a board like the one Shortcut provides. There are many way to customize the tickets and it's all my team needs during scrum ceremonies like Planning and standup.
I like how brief at the same time detailed instructions or comments can be filled. Ability to change the font format based on the tone of the message is a great plus
There are a lot of features that I don't understand and where to use. So little guide will always help.
Task management, team collaboration and GitHub integration is the best

I appreciate the quick and easy way to add tickets.
It would be nice to filter stories on the story view by epic. If this is already possible, I am unaware of it, but I think it needs to be prominently featured and not buried under filter conditions. Also, it would be cool if teams could be configured on a schedule. So, for example, Team1, Team2, and Firefighting. Then each member could be configured to be on specific teams based on a schedule that could be set up in advance.
