The courageous folk working on the GOV.UK website (an experimental “beta” replacement for Directgov and the first step towards a single government website) have regularly written about their experience and their blog is a worthwhile read. Read more...
We recently launched epics, to make it easier to plan and track progress of large features at a high level. Whether you are in the early stages of defining your product or have a Pivotal Tracker project you are working in already, epics can help you manage your work more effectively. In this article, we’ll show how to create epics, for a hypothetical shopping site project. Read more...

I often hear questions from Pivotal Tracker users about how to organize teams and projects. We also see many requests for features that would make it easier to see stories from across multiple projects. Read more...
At Pivotal Labs, we like to keep our Tracker stories as small as possible, so that each story describes a single, concrete feature that delivers incremental value to our project’s customer.

This helps keep track of all the little things you have to do, and lets everyone else on the project know exactly what’s left. Read more...
Use Tracker on-the-go!
