Backlog is een alles-in-één projectmanagementtool voor ontwikkelaars en hun teams met mogelijkheden zoals het opsporen van problemen, versiebeheer en wiki op één enkel platform. Kernfuncties zijn onder meer projecten, burndown-diagrammen, Gantt-diagrammen, problemen, watchlists, subtaken, discussies, bestanden delen en foutopsporing. Het platform is intuïtief in het gebruik voor niet-ontwikkelaars en is onderweg toegankelijk via de mobiele app voor Android en iOS.
Backlog helpt gebruikers bij het prioriteren en beheren van taken binnen projecten door middel van samenwerking tussen teams en takenlijsten, terwijl de algehele voortgang wordt bijgehouden. Gebruikers kunnen projectupdates communiceren, plannen bespreken, werkverzoeken indienen bij teams en bestanden veilig delen, van juridische documenten tot web-design. Backlog helpt gebruikers op de hoogte te blijven van de algemene projectstatus en biedt cumulatieve samenvattingen en individuele mijlpalen.
Backlog genereert en actualiseert automatisch Gantt-diagrammen in realtime om te helpen bij de projectplanning. Hierdoor kunnen gebruikers diagrammen opsplitsen en delen per toegewezen persoon, mijlpaal of categorie en ze naar Excel exporteren. Versiebeheerfuncties bieden webgebaseerde, Git- en Subversion-archieven voor techniek- en designteams zonder dat iets geïnstalleerd hoeft te worden. Ingebouwde functies omvatten aangepaste velden, gebruikersrechten, e-mailintegratie en wiki voor het creëren van notulen voor vergaderingen, projectplannen en productvereisten.
Backlog maakt projectmanagement onderweg mogelijk met de mobiele app voor iOS en Android, waarmee gebruikers wijzigingen in het probleem en opmerkingen kunnen bijhouden en overal mobiele waarschuwingen en meldingen kunnen ontvangen.
Pluspunten
I'm solving problems related to software design and development. We work across different time zones, and BackLog is great for our international projects. In conjunction with realtime collaborative software, we are able to use BackLog for high-level project organization.
Minpunten
Working with the smartphone app is not as useful since the browser version is so well designed. Also unwieldy at times when flipping between different projects. No realtime chat. Wish there were more markdown options for formatting.
Very good expect 2 thinks above
Pluspunten
- Grantt chart and burndown chart..
Minpunten
1. It's "Copy custom Fields From other Project" in [Project Settings] -> [Custom Field]
=> I dont know why "(※ Relation with issue types not copied)". It's very uncomfortable for me and someone manage like me.
=> Our Company have Standard Custom Field for all Project about 100 Custom FIled and some Custom Issue Type. When I Open the new Project , I just wanna Copy all Custom Field and Issue Type from Old Project.
But not like this, just copy Customfield and Availabes all Issue types. After that, I must to click 1 by 1 to fix, or delete. It's take many time from me. how long i will spent for fix that with 100 custom Field and Custom Issue Type????
Please think about that. and fix this
I just want to Copy all Custom Field + Issue Type from the old Project to New Project. and button delete all Custom Field
2. It's Add a Group of member to Old/Archive Project.
=> It's very hard. I have alrd 100+ project archive and click 1 by 1 to add a Group member. so bad.really bad.
Please add a Button add a Group of member to all Project or atleast let our choose list project to add.
Thank you
Streamlined workflow and the ability to see who's accountable for what and where projects are.
It's help us stay on track and keep projects under budget and on time.
Pluspunten
It's task oriented without feeling like a burden. Other project management tools I've used feel like glorified lists but Backlog offers a lot more.
Getting your team on board is difficult but the flow of using Backlog makes sense and came natural for us. We work 100% remotely so if it didn't work we would know right away something wasn't right.
Minpunten
For us, one of the strengths about Backlog is the integrations with Typetalk. We use both but I do with they were more tightly integrated.
For example, simply using at mentions on Backlog. Messages from Backlog issues go to Typetalk and we use @username to create an alert on Typetalk at the same time.
This might be particular to our team but it's really helpful. When I type (@) on a Backlog comment or description I want the list of usernames to show.
We use backlog.com as overall tracking and project management tool for our projects, support tasks and maintenance activities that we provide to our customer. We selected backlog.com after evaluating many other tools (like Jira, Pivotal tracker etc.) and backlog.com became the clear winner. Why ? Because this tool combine together the best features of all other tool while still being neat and straightforward. Backlog.com has been proving it at our daily use for 1 year approximately. Well done. Thank you.
Pluspunten

all necessary functions available on-click
excellent for agile approach
clear and easy administration of projects, people etc.
integration with email and MS Excel (exports)
subtasking
no-time to get started and leverage the tool by users

standalone application for iOS
Minpunten
nothing essential
maybe more storage space included in plans
better numbering of subtasks (to include number of parent issue)
We are using the Backlog tool on 2 projects with a total of c. 30 people involved. For one of those, it is used solely as an issue tracker. For the other one, it is used as the main tool for managing the project( keeping the track of backlog items, version, milestones, question, improvements....) Wiki is widely used for changelogs and manuals. Project documentation is stored in the Files section.
The whole team ( especially the upper management) is really satisfied with the tool and we will keep on using it for upcoming projects.
It also has gained some traction in the entire company so other teams are using it with the same results and satisfaction.
Pluspunten
- easy to use
- Wiki functionality
- ability to add a custom category and issue types
- dashboard and recent activity
- search functionality works excellent
- support team
Minpunten
- lacks the ability to add custom status for issues (starter plan)
- mail notifications are sent to the assignees only, but not the one notified in the notify field
