FogBugz is an easy-to-use software project management system specifically designed for agile software development teams. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools to plan, track, and release software projects seamlessly, integrating into various project management workflows. The system provides out-of-the-box capabilities such as time tracking, task management, bug and issue tracking, and email support. It is highly nimble and customizable, allowing teams to match the system to their specific workflows and supporting multiple project management methodologies including Scrum, Kanban, or Scrumban. FogBugz enables teams to track projects from inception to completion by creating and managing tasks and subtasks with required details, ensuring timely closure and accountability. It serves as a central repository for maintaining the entire project backlog, logging and tracking all bugs and issues, with team members receiving notifications as issues progress through the workflow. A key feature is its Evidence-Based Scheduling (EBS), a statistical algorithm that provides accurate ship date probability distributions based on historical timesheet data, aiding in reliable project estimation. All cases, including bugs, issues, and feature requests, are tracked in one unified place, prioritized and assigned to individuals. Teams can easily customize case flows to match their needs, planning at project, sprint, epic, user story, and task levels. Additionally, FogBugz offers a powerful search function to quickly find information across documentation, wikis, articles, code, issues, bugs, and discussions, and provides convenient integrations with popular tools like Slack, Twitter, GitHub, Google Drive, and Trello.
