Project notes

The plan, useful links, and decisions in one document.

A shared plan for the day-to-day work

A few simple habits help everyone understand what needs doing and where to find the details.

Give every task a clear next step

Write down what needs doing, choose the person responsible, and set a priority or due date. A bug report and a new idea each have a place to go.

See where the work stands

Use a list or a board to see what is planned, in progress, or finished. Update a task as the work moves forward so teammates can follow along.

Keep the explanation with the work

Discuss a task in its comments. Keep plans and decisions in project documents, so people can find the background when they need it.

A simple example

From “we should update the website” to a plan people can follow.

  1. Start with the goal

    Create a project called “Website refresh.” Add a document describing what the new site should do and the decisions your team has made.

  2. Break it into tasks

    Add the copy, mobile menu, and signup checks as separate tasks. Assign each one to a teammate and decide what to work on first.

  3. Follow it through

    Leave feedback in the task’s comments and change its status as work progresses. Your team can see what is finished and what still needs attention.

AI help, when you want it

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help draft a task description or a project document. Review and edit the suggestion before using it, so it reflects what your team actually needs.

AI features and usage limits vary by plan. Compare plans or explore the features.

A few questions you might have

Who is Velocity for?

Velocity is built for people planning and delivering software: developers, designers, project leads, and the teammates who work with them. Individuals can use it to organize their own projects, too.

What does “issue” mean?

An issue is a piece of work, such as a task, bug, or request. It can have a description, a person responsible, a priority, and a status. You will see the word “issue” inside Velocity.

Do I need to use AI?

AI is optional. You can create tasks, organize projects, write documents, and discuss work with your team yourself. When you want help with a draft, AI features are available on eligible plans.

How do I get started?

Create a free account, set up a workspace for your team, and add your first project and task. A workspace is the shared area where your team keeps its work. Check the pricing page for current plan features and limits.

Try it with one small project.

Add your first task, choose what comes next, and give your team a shared place to begin.
