From our own sprint frustration to a public beta.
SprintOps didn't start as a company pitch. It started as a tool we needed for ourselves, became something other teams kept asking to use too, and is now open for anyone to try.
The MVP was built to fix a problem we were living with every sprint: running one well meant stitching together a project tracker, a chat app, a spreadsheet, and whatever doc someone remembered to update. So we built the smallest version of a single workspace that could replace that stitching -- sprint planning, issue tracking, and a board that actually reflected what the team had committed to. We used it ourselves first, sprint after sprint, before we ever thought about showing it to anyone else.
What changed our mind about keeping it internal was hearing the exact same complaint from other teams we talked to -- not a similar complaint, the sameone: tools scattered across too many places, and no single view of whether the team was actually speeding up or just staying busy. That repetition is what told us this wasn't just our problem to solve quietly. It was worth building as a real product.
Commercializing it meant deciding what SprintOps should be good at that a generic tracker isn't. Our answer so far: make it a workspace your tools can talk to directly, not just one more tab a person has to keep open. That's why we shipped an MCP server-- a secure, read-only connection (API tokens or OAuth) that lets AI tools like Claude connect straight into a team's own SprintOps workspace and work with real sprints, stories, and backlog data. It's a small milestone on paper, but it's the first real proof that SprintOps can be infrastructure other tools build on, not just a website people visit.
That brings us to now: SprintOps is in public beta. Anyone can sign up and start using it today, starting free -- we're still iterating quickly and listening closely, but it's no longer just our own internal tool. If the tool-sprawl problem sounds familiar, come try it.
