Sprint.ly – Track Your Team


Sprint.ly is a tool that business owners and managers can use to stay on top of their employees and make sure team members are adding value to the projects they’re working on. The project management system integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, and offers customization options for groups of workers with unique needs.

Get signed up with Sprint.ly and add each of your employees to your new company account. The web-application works similarly to competing project management platforms, starting with a basic dashboard and a list of all the projects that are backlogged, current, and complete. Unlike competitors, however, Sprint.ly’s dashboard page features a series of pie charts and graphs that showcase your team’s focus and cadence. Team members can add their ideas to the backlog, and filter other backlogged ideas by type, status, tags, or the team member who’s been assigned the task. To notify team members about new issues and bugs, just send an message to a special Sprint.ly email address and CC the person whose job it is to fix the problem at hand. You can also add attachments to your emails, which will be automatically uploaded to your company’s Sprint.ly account.

Another way that Sprint.ly differentiates itself from competing project management applications is by giving everyone in an organization a voice. Team members can vote up or down individual tasks, issues, and bugs, and change the priority of selected items by dragging and dropping them into a new order.

Practical Uses:

  • Give team members a say in deciding the importance of website bugs or issues
  • Assign tasks to specific team members
  • Comment on open tickets to share your opinion with colleagues
  • View daily digest emails to see what your team has accomplished in the past 24 hours

Insider Tips:

  • Include files as attachments when sending alerts about bugs and issues
  • Companies can use Sprint.ly together with GitHub
  • People can add sub-items to individual stories and assign those sub-items to other team members
  • Click a ticket number to automatically copy that number to your clipboard

What we liked:

  • Items on the Kanban board can be dragged and dropped into a new order
  • The cadence graph shows how many items a team has marked as complete in the past week
  • Employees can vote up or down issues in the backlog
  • Sprint.ly sends confirmation receipts when new items are created through email
