Shortcut

Fast issue tracking and roadmapping for product teams.

Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) is aimed squarely at software teams who like the structure of stories, epics, and milestones but don't want the overhead that often comes with managing them. Its roadmap views are clean and product-friendly, making it easy for product managers, not just engineers, to follow what's planned without getting lost in ticket-level detail. Performance is another selling point — it's noticeably fast, which matters for teams that live in the tool all day moving between boards and cards. It integrates directly with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab, keeping code and communication close to the planning work itself.
