Case Study: Shikumi Design improves project management and task prioritization with Backlog

Getting teams on the same page with Backlog

Shikumi Design, a Fukuoka-based software and digital creative group, was managing a growing global development project and struggled to keep track of in-house tasks, changing priorities, and frequent requests using word of mouth and other project management tools. They turned to Backlog to improve task detail, source code management, and request tracking for their KAGURA project.

With Backlog, Shikumi Design could manage requests in bulk, assign and reprioritize tasks more easily, and organize work using two-week milestones tied to release schedules. Backlog helped the team run projects more smoothly despite shifting priorities, improving visibility for internal and external feedback and supporting their expansion to new audiences.
