Hello, world!

v1.0

Hello, world!

Today we are launching Backlog.

Backlog is built to give product teams a calmer place to plan work, track execution, and ship with clarity. This first release brings together the foundations we wanted from day one: fast task creation, focused collaboration, clean workspace setup, automation hooks, and three clear ways to interact with Backlog across the web app, API, and CLI.

What is live today

  • Task creation built for day-to-day execution

  • Projects, milestones, and roadmap structure

  • Comments, history, and collaborative context

  • Automation support for repeatable product workflows

  • Three ways to work with Backlog: web, API, and CLI

  • Workspace onboarding, sign-in, and pricing flows

This is the first entry in the changelog and the first public step for the product. More updates will follow here as we keep refining the experience, tightening the workflows, and expanding what teams can do inside Backlog.

Product refinements

Workflow polish, clearer onboarding, deeper automation, and more product surfaces will follow.
