What do you like best about Shortcut?

What do you dislike about Shortcut?

Apparently they ship products that are not production-ready.

CMD+Z does not work. No history option available. Talk about a type of error that makes you lose a customer instantly… I will simply never going to use this again over Google Drive, no matter how many updates they ship; it can have AI, type my thoughts automatically, I don’t care.

I’d also recommend everyone else refrain from using it, as this is not production-ready clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Shortcut?

How there is the very little initial configuration required compared to alternatives like JIRA. It also generally feels a lot snappier to use than JIRA. The limited feature set it has compared to JIRA is ideal for small startups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortcut?

Can't easily show a history of a ticket being represented across sprints to better show team velocity.

Say, ticket A is 8 points, and 5 points of work were completed in one sprint, we only want to move over the ticket with 3 points of work left Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shortcut:

It is a better alternative for small companies as a scrum tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortcut solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shortcut is used as our ticketing software and how our engineering, product, and design teams do sprint planning and work estimation. It is also used to keep track of bugs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
