Shortcut

Avantages

Sa prise en main facile et son intégration fluide avec d'autres outils. Il propose un très grand nombre de fonctionnalités toutes utiles les une des autres en fonction de ce que l'on aimerait faire.

Inconvénients

Je n'ai pas rencontré de réels problèmes dans l'utilisation de cet outil

Avantages

Simple et ergonomique, fait ce qu'on lui demande!

Inconvénients

Je pense qu'il n'apporte pas plus de valeur ajoutée sur un plan déploiement stratégique dans une entreprise que d'autres solutions déjà intégrées et gratuites comme Planner (Microsoft) ou même Trello

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Makes it really easy to keep track of your tasks and projects, specifically in relation to your company's overall goals and objectives.

Inconvénients

It's not as pretty as some other task management apps, but it's really not too bad.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

It is extremely easy to use. Quick to setup and understand. VERY cost effective! The team behind Shortcut delivers new and exciting functionality often that really makes a difference.

Inconvénients

I have not idea to be honest. There are really no bad parts of Shortcut for what it is doing! Nice integrations and easy to use, not really something you can dislike.

Avantages

Shortcut is easy to use but very powerful, and has a clean, intuitive interface. It offers a wide range of features, including project planning, task management, and collaboration tools. The software integrates well with other tools, such as Slack.

Inconvénients

The per-user price is a bit steep if you need access to all of Shortcut's features.

Avantages

best project management software ive ever used, works for technical engineers and nontechnical marketing chaps like myself.

Inconvénients

wish there was a REALLY simple version for mobile that showed me a minimalistic view of my cards or something really creative to change my life there, if anyone could create the perfect on the go project management view, it would be you guys!

Avantages

The biggest win for me personally in the switch to Clubhouse was simply having a nice user interface to look at when dealing with tickets.

Inconvénients

The only issue I've had so far has been that I'm not always aware when a ticket has been reviewed. As a customer success manager, I file ticket reports and sometimes they get closed without my being alerted. We've attempted to solve this with a slack integration but I'm not sure that it's working as expected.

Also, it would be nice if they didn't use markdown when you uploaded an image to a ticket comment.

Avantages

Great tool for managing the team's tasks and it's especially good for teams working with Scrum.
It offers a lot of customizability, thus, you can change it to tailor your needs.

Inconvénients

The learning curve for someone who never worked with it can be steep at the beginning. But after learning the basics it gets easy.

Avantages

Shortcut feels very lightweight and fast compared to some more popular alternatives like Jira. It satisfies our needs for product development tracking (but not discovery) very well. Writing stories, attaching information is easy and they intuitively turn into previews. The reporting function looks very comprehensive and powerful but we don't use it well enough. I also wished that we were using the engineering part better to integrate well with GitHub -- starting to try it out and it seems to work well.

Inconvénients

1. The integrations of shortcut with other commonly used software by product managers are lacking. We use shortcut in conjunction with productboard (for discovery) and notion (for company-wide documentation). The integrations with these two are quite useless to be frank. We cannot push a feature from productboard to shortcut as a feature, only as an epic, and also can't link it to an existing epic? In comparison, the jira integration seems so powerful we wish we were using that sometimes. 2. For people who are not used to using shortcut, it definitely has a learning curve as it could contain a lot of information and customization. 3. Features related to prioritization have been massively improved (just by adding that priority level) but its still painfully manual in the kanban view. Why can't I auto-sort stories by priority levels and then finetune their relative position? When I have 20-30 stories in a column it is almost impossible to drag and drop in an efficient manner. 4. Maybe it's just us not doing a good enough job onboarding our devs, but none of them realized that the most relevant view to them is if they go to "Stories" and then use a "Space" to filter down to the current iteration and team. I was abhorred to learn that they were mostly looking at "everything" for a long long time.

Avantages

Easy to use, native, easy to build a work flow, convenient and understandable

Inconvénients

I don’t really like the story search system

Avantages

It is a safe tool to manage everything , define priorities and work properly.

Inconvénients

I couldn't find any disadvantage for this software till now

Avantages

I manage engineering workflow as well as my own as an individual contributor in Shortcut. I also keep track of ideas and requests for when I set out to build new products. I love using labels in Shortcuts for managing my own workflow - requests that come from different teams get different labels so members of that team can see everything I'm working on for them and reliably know what state projects are in. I try to keep as much communication in Shortcut stories as opposed to emails because being able to reference it in Shortcut is very valuable to me. The search functionality is really good and unless I've named something really weirdly I can always find what I'm looking for.

Inconvénients

I haven't gotten familiar with using notifications in Shortcut and I rely on email notifications. This isn't to say that Shortcut doesn't have the right capabilities for notifications (commenting on stories is what I want notifications about), but just that I haven't really explored/figured it out which says something itself.

Avantages

1) Easy to learn - Even our junior members got on-boarded quickly despite their absolute lack of familiarity to such tools.
2) Tons of tagging options - Tickets can get multiple labels and the long list of standard metadata for cross-posting and maximum searchability.
3) Powerful search box - We get lots of tickets using the same set of keywords yet the search function seems to algorithmically know exactly which one we are looking for!

Inconvénients

1) Comment formatting is not WYSIWYG
2) A bit pricey for smaller teams
3) Continuous development is great, but there's always a new key feature deployed quickly that will make you rethink your currently-established conventions. We found ourselves testing these, and even migrating to fully commit to using the new feature instead (e.g. milestone-centric vs iteration-centric). There's this unshakeable worry that there's a new feature yet again right around the corner and we may have to switch once more.

Avantages

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!

Inconvénients

There is nothing that I like least about this software.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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).

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Flexibility and ease of the software - Clubhouse is extremely easy to learn and provides the ability to mold the software and functionality to your team's workflows.
Additionally, the Clubhouse team is continuously adding new integration and features that are best practice for most modern and agile product & tech teams.

Inconvénients

Not necessarily a specific con to Clubhouse but in general for all project management tools. Given the need for detailed requirements, it is necessary to write a lot of content on tickets. As such, the mobile experience is not on part with the browser desktop experience. That being said, I tend to create shell tickets on the mobile app or mobile view, then complete the tickets on a desktop when I have full functionality and familiarity.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

- Ease of use
- The UI is easy to navigate
- Perfect for our team structure

Inconvénients

Have only ever run into a few minor issues:

1. Setting up the backlog of our stories to prioritize
- Solution: If you have a ticket that you would like to appear in the backlog. Set the owner as yourself(Product Manager) and set the state to Unscheduled. And we also set up the filters for the backlog to display tickets that have a PM as the owner and are unscheduled.

2. Estimate section of ticket creation - would attribute one point to one day of work, but not having the ability to set half a day of work because there is no 0.5 option

3. When copying plain text from a word file and pasting it into a ticket, I would like it to also appear as plain text
