Project Management
Built for Software Development

Plan, track, and ship work with full visibility across your SVN, Perforce, and Git repositories. No context switching, no tool sprawl.
Most project management tools treat source code as an afterthought. We built Assembla differently, connecting project planning directly to your repositories so every ticket, commit, and release stays in sync from planning to production.

Project Management Built for Software Development
  • Version Control + PM

Project Management That
Moves at the Speed of Your Code

Most software engineering project management tools force a choice: rich project management with weak version control , or powerful repositories with basic task tracking bolted on. Assembla gives teams both.

Built for Teams Managing Code, Not Just Tasks

We built Assembla as the top project management tool for software development teams that work across complex, long-lived projects. Whether your team runs Git, manages legacy SVN repositories , or depends on  Perforce for large binary assets, Assembla brings project management and version control together in one place.
  • Tickets link directly to commits and code reviews, connecting every task to the work that delivers it.
  • Teams gain visibility across multiple repositories and concurrent projects without juggling separate tools.
  • Assembla handles the complexity of large-scale, long-term projects that generic PM tools were never designed for.
Built for Teams Managing Code, Not Just Tasks
  • Agile Planning

Plan, Prioritize, and Ship  With Full Confidence

Assembla gives engineering teams, scrum masters, and project managers the tools to organize work, align priorities, and keep every release on track, from the first sprint to production.

We built sprint planning and backlog management around the way software teams actually work. Organize user stories, refine your backlog, and keep everyone aligned on upcoming releases.
  • Teams organize work into sprints and prioritize user stories against clear release goals.
  • Backlog refinement keeps the pipeline healthy and ownership unambiguous.
  • Every sprint starts with shared context and ends with measurable progress.

Whether your team runs Kanban for continuous flow or Scrum for sprint-based delivery, Assembla adapts to your process. These are agile software development tools built for engineering teams, not repurposed from generic task managers.
  • Customizable Kanban and Scrum boards adapt to your team's methodology, not the other way around.
  • Swimlanes, statuses, and assignees keep accountability clear across every active workstream.
  • Boards connect directly to your repositories, so the status of the work always reflects the state of the code.

Delivery blockers rarely appear without warning. Assembla gives teams early visibility into dependencies and risks, supporting agile project management for mobile application development, embedded systems, and any environment where timelines are non-negotiable.
  • Milestones connect directly to work items and releases, so progress is always measurable.
  • Teams monitor cross-team dependencies and spot bottlenecks before they slow delivery.
  • Calendar views and dependency reports give leadership the confidence to commit to timelines.

Track Progress Without Micromanagement

Assembla delivers real-time project health across every active workstream, so engineering managers and executives stay informed without interrupting the people doing the work.

We give teams a single place to track progress, velocity, and workload across all active projects. No status meetings, no manual updates, no chasing people for information.
  • Sprint health is visible at a glance, so teams spend less time reporting and more time shipping.
  • Velocity tracking gives managers the data to make informed decisions about capacity and timelines.
  • Leadership gets immediate insight into project health without micromanaging individual contributors.

Assembla's burndown charts and cycle analytics give teams the data to spot trends early and adapt before delays become problems.
  • Burndown charts show sprint progress in real time, making scope creep visible before it derails delivery.
  • Cycle time analysis reveals where work slows down so teams can remove bottlenecks systematically.
  • Historical performance insights help teams set realistic commitments and improve sprint after sprint.

Manual status updates are one of the biggest sources of noise in developer project management software. Assembla eliminates them by connecting project tracking directly to code activity across your repositories.
  • Tickets update automatically from commits, keeping project status accurate without extra effort.
  • Teams get unified visibility across all repositories, whether they run SVN, Perforce, or Git.
  • Fewer manual updates means less overhead and more time focused on delivery.
  • Collaboration

One Platform for Code, Collaboration, and Delivery

Assembla brings project management and version control together in one workspace, so every team member works from the same source of truth.

We give teams the granularity to break complex work into manageable pieces without losing sight of the bigger picture. Every task connects to a project, every subtask connects to a developer, and every update connects to a commit.
  • Tasks and subtasks keep complex deliverables organized and accountable at every level.
  • Assignees and statuses make ownership clear across concurrent workstreams.
  • Teams maintain end-to-end traceability from high-level goals down to individual code changes.

Context lives alongside execution in Assembla. Teams keep documentation, onboarding materials, and architectural decisions directly connected to the projects and repositories they support, so knowledge never gets lost in a separate tool.
  • Wikis link directly to tickets and repositories, keeping context close to the work.
  • Teams centralize onboarding guides, technical decisions, and release notes in one place.
  • Documentation stays current because it lives where the work happens, not in a separate system.

Assembla connects the tools your team already uses without adding complexity. Whether your workflow depends on Slack for communication or CI/CD tools for deployment, integrated project management software means your entire stack works together without custom glue code.
  • File sharing keeps assets, documents, and resources accessible to the right people at the right time.
  • Team discussions happen in context, alongside the tickets and repositories they relate to.
  • Native integrations with Slack, Jira, and more extend Assembla into your existing workflow without disruption.

Assembla gives engineering leaders the controls they need to maintain security, accountability, and compliance without adding operational overhead to the teams doing the work. For teams with specific infrastructure requirements, our hosting and infrastructure options give you full control over where and how your data lives.

We built enterprise-grade governance directly into Assembla so teams do not need to bolt it on later. Every action across repositories and projects is tracked, auditable, and controllable from a single admin interface.
  • Role-based access control ensures the right people have the right permissions across every project and repository.
  • Full audit trails give compliance teams and security officers the visibility they need without disrupting developers.
  • Assembla operates in a SOC 2-compliant environment, giving leadership confidence that data and code are protected at every level.

Engineering execution only creates value when it connects to business outcomes. Assembla gives leadership the reporting tools to track progress against goals without pulling engineers into unnecessary status meetings.
  • Goals connect directly to sprints and milestones, so every piece of work ties back to a business objective.
  • Clear reporting gives executives the confidence to make informed decisions about priorities and resources.
  • Teams maintain delivery momentum while leadership maintains strategic visibility.

Every engineering team has a unique stack. Assembla's APIs and webhooks give teams the flexibility to integrate project management into their existing DevOps ecosystem without rebuilding workflows from scratch.
  • APIs and webhooks connect Assembla to the tools your team already depends on.
  • Workflow automation reduces manual overhead and keeps processes consistent across teams.
  • Custom integrations give teams the flexibility to extend Assembla without compromising the simplicity of the core platform.

Why Teams Choose Assembla for Project Management

Assembla works where other project management tools fall short: complex, large-scale environments where code, assets, and delivery timelines cannot afford to live in separate systems.

Project Management for Game Development Studios

Game studios manage some of the most complex creative and technical workflows in software development. Art, design, and engineering teams work across massive binary assets, multiple repositories, and tight production schedules. Assembla connects project management directly to Perforce Cloud, giving studios predictable production pipelines and full visibility across every discipline from concept to ship.
