Velocity is your team's superpower
Velocity Tracker is our Pivotal-inspired take on project planning for software systems. We have aimed to replicate the elements that made Pivotal a pleasing place to plan and track projects, particularly the concept of team velocity .
Velocity Tracker will be launching in March—sign up below to be the first to know and to lock in exclusive plan discounts .
Why Velocity?
Something that Pivotal always did differently was that as a system it understood that teams and products have a natural velocity, and that adding a new feature as an urgent top-priority item is going to have a knock-on effect on other planned improvements.
Contrast to systems like Jira or even Github, where you will often have a sea of tickets and issues—it is often nearly impossible to say when anything but the top highest-priority items will be delivered.
We believe that respecting team velocity allows for a healthier balance between the Product and Engineering teams while also effortlessly answering questions regarding when a feature will be delivered, resulting in happier, more productive teams .
Track, celebrate, and harness your team's true velocity. Plan with confidence, deliver with consistency, and watch your progress soar .

More about Velocity
-
Can I import my projects from Pivotal Tracker?
-
Yes, you will be able to upload the zip file that you get when you export a project in Pivotal—this contains all of your story data (including comments) and also includes all files that you have stored in that project.
When you upload it to Velocity then you should be able to pick up where you left off. If there are any issues with the import then we will work with you to ensure that everything is imported correctly.
-
Is it suitable for people how have never used Pivotal before?
-
Absolutely—we believe that this way of working is great for software teams of all sizes.
If you get stuck then please get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
-
Is there a free trial?
- Yes! You can try Velocity free for 14 days. This gives you full access to all features so that you can see how it works with your team.
-
I'm concerned that you might also sunset the product and then we would have to migrate again.
-
Our goal is to build a sustainable bootstrapped business that will serve our customers in the (very!) long term.
With your support as a customer then I believe we can make that happen. Our ethos is well aligned with companies like 37Signals, who do an exemplary job of building software for the long term, not changing things just for the sake of change and focusing more on stability, the user experience and sustainability.
With that in mind we very much hope that you make a bet on us, and we will do our utmost to deserve your custom now and in the future.
