Shortcut Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about Shortcut is its clean, intuitive interface combined with strong agile-friendly features. It makes managing software projects simple and efficient, with Kanban boards, sprint planning that help teams stay aligned without unnecessary complexity. Integrations with tools like Slack and GitHub further streamline workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Shortcut is that, while it’s easy to use, it lacks some of the advanced features and depth found in more established tools like Jira. Reporting options and custom search functionalities are limited, Also sometime it takes while to load which tells me about scaling related matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shortcut has completely transformed the way we handle complex projects. I really appreciate the hierarchy of Milestones, Epics, Stories, and Tasks—it provides our team with a clear structure while remaining flexible enough to support agile workflows. The built-in features for product sizing and managing dependencies help us stay organized without introducing unnecessary complications.

The user interface and overall experience are among the best I’ve encountered for managing highly complex projects. It’s fast, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

With the integration of Korey.ai, it truly feels like we’re experiencing the future of product management. This addition has brought a remarkable level of automation and organization, saving us hours and ensuring everything remains consistent. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

Nothing, I love all of it. They are very responsive and building new features all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a very simple layout, as a product/project manager it's so easy to onboard new members of my team. Other tools like JIRA are so complex to use that they would need specific training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reports page can be further refined to have more reports, i want to know how long are folks spending on the different states of a story. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of creating a story and management thereof. Including the shareability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Moving stories from one status to another. Would be good to have a warning that a story has been idle for too long with out attention (past its due date, for example), or that its status needs may need to be updated). And, if you could update the status by checking a box to place it in the proper column, that may be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team were long time users of Pivotal Tracker (> 10 years). With their announcment to close down, we started looking for replacements. Shortcut was one of the top 3 we looked into. Ultimately, Shortcut's customization, modern look, and the phenomenal team behind it all was the driving factor which made our decision easy.

We were able to import all of our legacy story data from Pivotal Tracker. In total over 14,000 stories, including comments and screenshots were imported into Shortcut. After the import, our team has had an easy time picking up and using Shortcut. Everyone is impressed by the things we can do from story management to reporting. We even have users on our team who refused to use Pivotal Tracker signed up and using Shortcut because of how much better it is!

Overall I highly recommend Shortcut to any team, big or small, looking for a project management tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On an overall basis? NOTHING! If I had to pick something, then I would say we are currently in need of some different types of reporting. Less reporting that shows TIME spent on completing stories and more reporting which shows the WHAT has a owner or team spent their time completing across epics, etc. This is something we are able to accomplish right now ourselves because of the extensive search and export functionality built into Shortcut, BUT we have also communicated this need to the Shortcut team, and they are already taking our feedback into account for a future change!

As a new user I have not found any dislikes about Shortcut Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy and fast to move through stories, epices, and themes. It does almost everything Jira does but faster. It also saves what you have started to write in a store or epic even if it hasn't been created, which is sneakily very helpful when you are jumping between tasks and forget to hit create or save.

I think the reporting could be better. Different teams care about different stuff but I think it would be great to see more metrics around velocity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a QA representative working in cross-functional workflows, I really appreciate how easy it is to adapt and update workflows in Shortcut. It’s flexible, which helps us stay aligned and agile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like to see an archive option for Iterations. Sometimes loading data takes a long time, and having the ability to archive would help keep things faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use. It has everything objectives, roadmap, stories and epics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is lack of timeline feature. Other than that I like all of it's features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It promotes team collaboration to finish a specific project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's kinda tricky to find a story using an ID number in the beginning. But you can get used to it, and find an easy way to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
