Backlog
Project Management · nulab.com/backlog/
Overview
Backlog is a cloud-based project management and issue-tracking tool from Nulab that combines task boards, Gantt charts, and built-in Git and Subversion repositories in a single workspace. It is aimed at software teams that want to plan work, track bugs, and manage code without switching between separate tools. Pricing is flat-rate per plan rather than per-seat, and it is used by companies including SoftBank, Omron, and BuzzFeed.
The problem Backlog solves
Software teams often end up stitching together a separate project tracker, a bug tracker, and a Git host, losing context every time a task needs to be tied to the commit that resolves it. Backlog solves that by building task management, issue/bug tracking, and built-in Git and SVN repositories into one flat-rate platform, so a commit, a bug, and the task behind it all live in the same screen instead of three disconnected tools.
Decision context
Use these points to test whether the product fits your operation, not just whether it has a long feature list.
- Published starting price: Free. Confirm user, usage, and feature limits for the plan you would actually buy.
- Deployment: cloud. Check security, data-residency, and access requirements for every team that will use it.
- Verified integrations include Slack, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Chat, Google Drive. Validate sync direction and plan limits for the connections that matter.

How to evaluate Backlog
A listing helps create a shortlist; a trial with the team’s real workflow decides whether the tool fits. Use this reading with the structured facts and confirm changes with the vendor.
Workflow fit
The record describes it as a fit for Software development teams that want task tracking and Git/SVN hosting in one tool, Small-to-mid-size teams that prefer flat-rate pricing over per-user licensing, Teams that want a low learning curve and quick onboarding for new hires. Check that this context matches the volume, roles, and processes your team needs it to support.
Pilot questions
- Can Backlog complete the critical workflow without manual work outside the product?
- Do the recorded connections (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft OneDrive) support the sync direction, permissions, and volume we need?
- What user, usage, storage, support, or security limits appear after the headline starting price?
Evidence and freshness
This record was checked on 7/31/2026. That date tells you when the record was reviewed, not that the vendor has left its terms unchanged since then.
