CASTRA

Minerva, agile delivery

Plan the work. Ship the work.

Minerva tracks projects from theme to sub-task, runs Scrum and Kanban boards, and keeps releases and the roadmap in one place. You host it.

Early development.

A Minerva Scrum board with columns for To do, In progress, In review and Done, each holding issue cards with keys such as PAY-142.

Projects and issues that fit how you work

Every project has a key, so work is easy to refer to: PAY-142 means the same thing in a commit message, a chat and a page.

  • Configurable issue types: themes, epics, features, stories, tasks, bugs and sub-tasks
  • Hierarchy you define per project
  • Custom fields
  • Workflows with the statuses and transitions your team uses
  • A readable query language for filters and reports
