Case Study: Geckoboard streamlines backlog management with Shortcut

Geckoboard outgrew Trello and migrated to Clubhouse for more flexibility and improved backlog management

Geckoboard, a technology company based in London, UK, was using Trello to manage its agile development workflow but found it too limited as the team and backlog grew. The company struggled with duplicate cards, weak search and labeling, and no good way to show relationships between work items or track progress across larger initiatives.

To solve this, Geckoboard migrated from Trello to **Shortcut** (formerly Clubhouse), which offered epics, linked cards, milestones, and more flexible views for standups, planning, and backlog management. With **Shortcut**, the team gained better structure and visibility into work, improved tracking of progress across larger projects, and a faster, more agile workflow; while no hard metrics were shared, Geckoboard said they were very happy with the move after six months.
