Tickets that know why they exist
Engineers don't need another tool that makes them update status twice. They need a backlog that works, and enough context to make good calls without a meeting.
Updated
The short answer
Ondule gives engineering teams a backlog, epics and sprints with the context attached. Every ticket sits under the milestone and objective it serves, dependencies are visible before they block you, and product managers read status straight from the work instead of asking for it.
What engineers get
A backlog that works, with the why attached.
- Backlog with epics, story points, priorities and filters for mine, blocked, unestimated and bugs.
- Sprints with an active sprint view.
- Blocked-by links between issues, shown right on the ticket.
- Each epic linked to its milestone and objective, so the why is one click away.
- Cross-team dependencies with owners and due dates.
- Docs and decisions next to the work, not in a separate wiki.
How it works
Three steps, from sprint planning to shipping.
1. Plan the sprint: pull issues from the backlog into the sprint.
The backlog, with the Mine, Blocked, Unestimated and Bugs filters. 2. Build with context: open any epic to see the milestone, objective and decisions behind it.
The active sprint, with blockers on the ticket. 3. Ship without status meetings: progress rolls up to the roadmap and overview automatically.
An issue showing what it's blocked by, and the epic and milestone above it.
Questions
- Will engineers have to change how they work?
- Very little. Backlog, epics, sprints and story points work the way you'd expect.
- Why would engineers want this over Jira?
- Context and fewer interruptions. The why behind the work is linked, and PMs read status from the record instead of asking you.
- How much does it cost?
- Free for the first 3 members, then $20 per member per month, with every feature.
