What is Backlog?

Backlog is a project management and collaboration platform built by Nulab that combines task tracking, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, and version control in one workspace. Teams use it to plan projects, assign issues, track bugs, and manage code with built in Git and Subversion repositories, all under a single flat-rate subscription rather than per-user pricing.

The platform suits software teams, marketing groups, and cross-functional organizations that want project management and issue tracking together. Paid plans add Gantt and burndown charts, custom fields, subtasks, and an AI assistant, while an Enterprise tier adds SAML single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, and self-hosted deployment for organizations with stricter security requirements.
