Backlog

PM
Velocity0.0

Project management and code hosting tool

Backlog ships steady Gantt and chart refinements, but the feed is mostly Nulab site furniture.

Current state
Only two entries in this window carry actual release content, and both are monthly digests: chart groups gaining a start/end date bar with issue counts and status breakdown on hover, personal charts dropping the parent-subtask relationship, an Android 3.0.1 redesign, Markdown in iOS custom-field text areas, plus quarterly-scale Gantt charts for Premium and Platinum plans and child-issue status filtering. The rest of the window is navigation, support links and marketing copy scraped from nulab.com — including rows that belong to sibling products Cacoo and Nulab Pass rather than to Backlog.
Where it's heading
The real work is concentrated on planning views — Gantt scale, chart grouping, issue filtering — and on closing gaps between the web app and the mobile clients. Several changes are explicitly gated to Premium and Platinum plans, so view sophistication is being used as tier differentiation. Nothing here suggests a change of direction; it is a mature tracker refining how work is visualised.
Prediction
Given the run of chart and Gantt scale work, the next planning-view change is likely another axis of aggregation or filtering rather than a new surface. The scraped entries make cadence unreliable, so any stronger call would not be grounded.

    Chart groups gain date-range bars; Android 3.0.1 redesign lands

    The substantive entry in this window: chart groups now show a start/end date bar, issue counts and a status breakdown on hover, personal charts ignore parent-subtask nesting, and the mobile clients get an Android redesign plus Markdown in iOS custom fields. It is the planning-view and mobile-parity thread that defines Backlog's current work.
