GitHub Projects

Agile Freemium

GitHub Projects builds boards, tables, and roadmaps directly out of GitHub issues and pull requests, so project tracking lives in the same place as the code itself. For engineering teams, that's the whole pitch: no separate tool to check, no context-switching between a codebase and a PM app. Custom fields and views give it enough flexibility to organize work the way a dev team actually wants, while staying native to GitHub.

It works across team sizes, from small teams up through large enterprises, and connects with Slack, Jira, and Zapier when a team needs to bridge into other systems. Complexity is low, which keeps it approachable. It's a fit for engineering teams that want project tracking without leaving GitHub.
