All Use Cases

Software Development Teams

From backlog to deployment — structured, tracked, and automated.

TskVlo gives developer teams the flexibility of custom fields without the rigidity of traditional project tools. Define your own workflow states, track bugs alongside features, and let automation handle the repetitive parts.

Pain Points

  • Context-switching between fragmented tools
  • Inflexible status workflows that don't match your process
  • No built-in time tracking for sprint capacity
  • AI tools can't act on your task data

With TskVlo

  • Custom status fields match your exact workflow stages
  • Item dependencies block downstream tasks automatically
  • Automation rules handle status transitions and notifications
  • MCP integration lets Claude triage and manage tasks
Software Development Teams

Software teams move fast and need tools that keep up. TskVlo was built with developer workflows in mind — flexible enough to adapt to your process, structured enough to keep everyone aligned.

Custom Workflow States

Forget “To Do / In Progress / Done”. Define status options that reflect your actual process:

Backlog → Scoping → Development → Code Review → QA → Staging → Released → Won't Fix

Color-code each status. Add a PERSON field for “Reviewer” alongside your standard “Assignee”. Stack fields that matter for your team — story points, sprint tags, linked PRs via URL fields.

Item Dependencies

Block tasks that can’t start until others are done. TskVlo tracks blocking relationships between items — preventing teams from starting dependent work prematurely and giving leads a clear picture of the critical path.

Example: Frontend task for “User Profile Page” is blocked by “User API endpoint” backend task. The frontend task is flagged as blocked until the API task is done.

Automation for Sprint Workflows

Set up rules that handle the mechanical parts of sprint management:

  • When status changes to “Done” → notify the QA assignee
  • When due date passes and status ≠ “Done” → flag as “Overdue”
  • When sprint tag changes → reassign to the corresponding board group

Bug Reports Straight into the Backlog

Start a bug board from the built-in Bug Tracker template, then add a public bug report form so testers, support staff, or customers can report issues without a TskVlo account. Ask for severity, affected version, and a link to a screenshot; each report lands in your triage group with the answers already in the right fields. Embed the form on your status page or help center so reports come in where users already are.

AI-Assisted Triage

Connect Claude via MCP and let your AI assistant help with triage:

“Create bug tasks for every item tagged ‘regression’ in the QA column and assign them to the developer who last touched the related feature”

“Show me everything assigned to the backend team that’s overdue this sprint”

CI/CD Integration

The REST API makes it easy to update task status from your deployment pipeline. Mark tasks as “Released” automatically when a PR merges to main. Pull task data into your release notes generator.

Data Privacy & Control

Keep your roadmap, technical debt backlog, and security-sensitive task data in one hosted workspace, run by Einmahl Works — no servers for your team to maintain. Separate workspaces keep projects isolated, roles control who can edit, and members can be restricted to selected boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TskVlo integrate with GitHub or GitLab?

Yes. Connect GitHub or GitLab (including self-hosted GitLab) in the workspace settings, then paste a PR, MR, issue, or commit URL into a task to link it. The task shows live status — open/merged/closed, draft, and CI results — and an automation rule with the "When SCM status changes" trigger can move the task when a PR merges.

Can we use TskVlo for sprint planning?

Yes. Create a sprint board with a Sprint field (Status or Date). Use saved filters to filter by sprint. Move items to the next sprint group when they're not completed.

How do we handle bugs vs. features in the same board?

Add a "Type" field (Status: Bug, Feature, Chore, Tech Debt). Filter or group by Type to separate your backlog views without managing multiple boards.

Can the AI assistant update task status when a PR is merged?

Yes, via MCP. Configure your AI tool with the TskVlo MCP server and prompt it to update task status when deployment events occur.

Is there a way to link dependent tasks?

Yes. Open an item's detail panel to add blocking/blocked-by dependencies. Automation rules can also check whether an item still has a blocked dependency.
