Company mission
Shortcut's mission is to ensure software development teams can do their best work and have a nice time while they're at it, by providing the most intuitive and enjoyable project management platform — from project planning to product creation.

Our take
Traditionally, project management programs for software development have been poorly designed, and workflows can become easily siloed and are not very collaborative. The growing trend for home working and freelancing means that software project management systems need to adapt with the times.
Shortcut is a project management solution for software development teams. It provides full visibility into the status of specific tasks and the work being done by all team members across a project. One of the great strengths of Shortcut has been the range of integrations the platform offers such as Slack, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and many others, while iOS and Android apps have also been made available.
Considering the fertile marketplace for project management solutions, Shortcut faces competition from several other platforms, including Smartsheet, Asana, Monday, Workfront, Trello, and Wrike. The company has raised over $25 million from the likes of GreyLock Partners and Lerer Hippeau. It will need to keep working closely with software teams in order to resonate with engineers, as technologies and needs change over time.
