How Jesto's software development project management beats Jira

Jira is powerful but slow, cluttered, and over-configurable. Jesto's scrum project management tool delivers the same agile features (sprints, story points, burndown) with a faster UI and zero setup tax.

Jira & Legacy PM Tools

  • 3-month implementation tax before you can run a sprint
  • Slow page loads — engineers actively avoid logging in
  • Pricy add-ons for time tracking, roadmaps, and reporting
  • Complex permissions block more than they protect
  • DORA metrics require a separate analytics tool

Jesto Engineering Project Management

  • 5-minute setup — first sprint ready before lunch
  • Fast UI engineers actually want to use
  • Time tracking, roadmaps, and reports all included — no add-ons
  • Sensible defaults with SSO + RBAC when you need it
  • Built-in DORA metrics, velocity, and burndown dashboards
Built for every engineering role

One agile project management software for every team in engineering

Whether your team runs Scrum sprints, Kanban flow, Shape Up cycles, or product trios, Jesto adapts to how engineers actually ship. Pre-built engineering templates ship with sane defaults so your next sprint starts in minutes, not weeks.

Engineering

Sprint planning, backlog grooming, story estimation, standups, and velocity tracking. Native GitHub and GitLab integration links commits and PRs to stories automatically.

Sprints Velocity GitHub sync

Product Management

Roadmaps, epics, user stories, and discovery work tied to the same backlog engineering uses. Product trios stay aligned without exporting to Notion or Productboard.

Roadmaps Epics & stories Discovery

QA & Quality

Test plans, bug triage, regression cycles, and release sign-off in the same workspace as engineering. Quality stops being an afterthought right before ship.

Bug tracking Test plans Release gates

DevOps & SRE

Incident workflows, post-mortems, on-call rotations, and runbook tasks. Connect alerts from PagerDuty or Datadog so every incident becomes a tracked work item.

Incidents Post-mortems Runbooks

Design

Design tasks, Figma links, design reviews, and engineering handoff. Designers and engineers share one backlog instead of fighting two ticket systems.

Design reviews Figma links Handoff

Engineering Leadership

DORA metrics, deployment frequency, lead time for changes, MTTR, and engineering capacity dashboards. The numbers VPEs and CTOs actually need to make decisions.

DORA Velocity Capacity

Is Jesto the perfect engineering project management software for your team?
