Waffle.io is a free online project management solution for developers using GitHub. It adds a visualization tool for teams using GitHub Issues and pull requests. On the other hand, Waffle.io is built on top of the GitHub API, and it provides users a way to interact with their issues and pull requests in the form of cards on a board.

The two systems are completely in sync, so teams can use either system and remain updated in real-time. This project management solution also provides features for teams to track work automatically. It listens to the actions in the workflow and takes its cue. Thus, it knows when work has started, when it is ready for review, or when it is finished. A recommended workflow will allow automatic work tracking features that include updating of status. It also has metrics such as milestone burn-down graph and throughput graph.

These graphs will help teams know if they are on track to ship a feature and provide better understanding of the teams capabilities. Waffle is compatible with GitHub Enterprise with its own on-premise version called Waffle Takeout. It also works with GitHub.com. Waffle integrates with Slack, allowing users to receive notifications whenever cards move on the boards.

A Wafflebot updates boards automatically. Other features include connecting multiple repos in a single view, customizable workflows, and filtering via labels, issue text, milestone, or owner. Waffle provides a more visual way for project management using GitHub’s own issue tracking system. Furthermore, it provides additional features that make collaboration for both development and non-development teams easier. At the same time, it provides important metrics and custom workflows.
