Backlog management that keeps your team focused on what matters

Capture ideas early, organize them into meaningful buckets, refine them as you learn more, and make sure priorities stay visible to everyone.

The problem

Without structure, backlogs grow into long, unsorted lists where important work gets lost. Flying Donut gives your backlog the structure it needs without turning backlog management into a full-time job.

GitHub Issues in your backlog buckets

Enable the GitHub integration and your GitHub Issues appear directly inside your backlog buckets — alongside your planned cards. Triage, prioritize, and plan from a single view without switching between tools.
