Backlog

Project Management

Lump-sum management of all project information on the Web.

By following up issues, you can grasp each issue’s status and get updates, such as “how it has been progressed” and “who is in charge”. Of course, as the information is managed on the web, it is possible for the team to share the information.

Status of Issue

The status of issues can be chosen from 4 conditions, Open, In progress, Resolved, or Closed. You can show the progress by shifting the status as you work on the issue.

Gantt Chart

You can create Gantt Chart without any difficult information.

It takes time to update Gantt Chart. Yet, with Backlog, you only need to input information set for the project. The updated status will be shown instantly. You don’t need to recreate Gantt Chart again each time the plans are changed.

Burn-down Chart

Burn-down Chart is created automatically by setting milestone when you add an issue.

Backlog shows estimated amount of works left until the next milestone with a line chart. Three lines, Ideal Line, Estimated Line and Actual Line, start from the left top and goes down to the right bottom.

Display the status of progress with Ideal Line,
Estimated Line and Actual Line.

The progress to the next milestone is clear by looking at the difference between Estimated Line and Actual Line.

When Actual Line is above Estimated Line, it means the issue is not progressing as it was planned. When the progress is way behind the plan, Backlog will put a flame icon.

The updated Estimated Hours will be shown in the balloon icon.

Subversion

Cooperate with Issue.

It Backlog cooperates with Subversion. When you commit, revision number will be given.

You can link issues to revision number, which is Subversion revision detail page.

It’s easy to check differences and histories from Issue as you can view date, updated person, comments and revision from the updated path.
