You can export your board as JSON under board settings. We also have a couple of undocumented endpoints available, but a documented and versioned API is still in the works. In the meantime, please email us your ideas and requests!

We can import your boards via customer service: send us an email and we'll do it for you. We'll add import functionality to the tool soon.

Use subtasks to document steps to complete a ticket and track status. Write all the important activities, including design, development, QA and release, as subtasks and consider assigning them to the respective team members.

Collapse backlog sections to hide details you don't often work with. In the backlog view, click the arrow button on the right hand side of In planning and Drafts and ideas to collapse these sections. This won't affect other users.

Skip refined section to simplify workflow. The line between ready for development and not can be blurry. Open the board options dropdown, select "Board settings" and turn on "Hide refined". Existing refined tickets will still show up until you move them.

Have more questions on workflow customization? Get in touch!

If you continouously refine and reprioritize tickets, always pick the most important ones for development and get them released, ProductBeat is built for you. We have great features such as continuous release timeline that are a perfect fit for kanban teams.

To replace the traditional horizontal board view, we advice you to break all refined stories into subtasks. Subtasks more accurately reflect the progress and the remaining tasks in each story.

Keep tickets in your current sprint as In progress or under Selected for development. To plan future sprints, add a milestone for each sprint under In planning.

Our release timeline always shows all released tickets and completed sprints as a timeline as your users experienced them, rather than by sprint. This gives you a better picture of how your users actually experienced the changes.

Need more consultation? Email out support or schedule a demo.

Absolutely! We're uncomplicated people, so simply email contact@productbeatapp.com with your details and our team will be back to you!

No. You can sign up for free, and you don't need to enter payment details up front. You can use the free plan forever if you wish.

If you add more than 10 members to your team, we will ask you to add billing details and then transfer your team to our commercial plan. Commercial billing is still being rolled out, so you can still add as many users as you want, and we will not charge you until you have been contacted personally and provided billing details yourself.

Go to your team page, click "Members" enter the email address of your team mate's Google account on ProductBeat. If they don't have an account yet, they will see all once they sign up. Once they're in, they will see all the boards in this team.

In some cases you might instead want to move your board to another team. You can do this in board settings.

All permissions are team-based. Team members can be either admins or regular members. Admins can invite more users, edit roles and remove boards, while regular team membership is enough for daily work in your team.

For private use, we create you a private team upon sign-up that is only accessible to you. You can create new teams or grant access to share your boards with others.

You can't share access to only one board in a team. Guest accounts are on our roadmap though, so make sure to let us know if this is something you'd like to see.

It's very straightforward: anyone can sign up for ProductBeat with their Google account. Anyone can set up a team and invite other ProductBeat users to their team. In other words, you need all members to sign up with their account, and then you can invite each one to your team. All billing works on a team-by-team basis, so you'll want to have just one team in your company.

You can also remove members from your team, in which case they retain their account, but will no longer have access to your team's boards, and all their tasks on those boards will be unassigned. You can choose to invite the same user again later if you want.
