Backlog REVIEW

Backlog is a project management software exclusively designed for all the teams involved in software development: Development, Marketing, Design, IT and Production. Described as an all-in-one project tracking solution, Backlog aims to improve collaboration, coordination, and communication between developers and non-technical team members. It enables users to organize tasks in one place and assign them to other teams. Tracking the overall progress of a project across teams and sending of feedback are also made easier.

Furthermore, Backlog allows development teams to easily track issues or bugs. Development team members will be able to collaborate to resolve bugs. Collaboration is also promoted by the software when it comes to reviewing and improving a code. Developers will be able to propose changes to a code and initiate a discussion on its the new features with their colleagues.  Backlog is also equipped with tools, helping users organize and share project details, as well as, facilitate project planning.

Tracking the progress of a project is one of the primary features of Backlog. The project tracking software has the capability of splitting up the large tasks within a project into subtasks. Subtasks are then assigned across teams.

As an example, if the teams are working on a task about creating an updated budget planner feature for a website, this task can be split into subtasks. Thus, a member of the design team will be in charge of creating the new User Interface design (UI) for the budget planner feature. A development team member will implement and test the UI design, and the subtask for a marketing team member is the writing of release blog and email for such feature.

As subtasks are assigned to team members, users can easily track the progress of their entire project. They can set deadlines and notify the team members for any updates on their tasks. Through the aid of  Gantt Charts, users will be able to see the statuses of the tasks and the team members whom they assigned those tasks to, all in one place.

In addition, Backlog offers wikis that serve as collaborative tools. Wikis enhance communication among team members and between teams. Users can utilize them to share information and organize project details. Wikis can be edited and downloaded by team members. When there are changes made to wikis,  team members will receive notifications.

Backlog also allows users to collaborate on their codes. They can easily track all the changes made to their code and review them. Users can add comments in line with a code, inviting discussions among team members. Hence, they will be able to optimize their code and release a high-quality software.
