What sets them apart
Keep the sprint connected to the whole team.
These are the moments that happen around the board, not on it.
01 / From plan to progress
Give a release more than a board.
Track projects and tasks while keeping the team, documents, and conversations nearby. A handoff is easier when the next owner can see the work around it.
Explore project management
02 / Conversation in context
Make space for the discussion around the ticket.
Ask a question in team chat, meet when it needs a live conversation, and return to the project. Work does not have to wait for another tool to bring people together.
Explore team chat
03 / Answers across the workspace
Ask about the work, not just the issue.
Company Context can surface context about projects, people, and meetings, so a release question becomes a clearer team follow-up.

04 / People behind progress
See how the team is doing.
Live presence and meetings make it easier to find the right people. On Pro, Team Pulse and time tracking add a view of the day beyond the task list.
