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.

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
Permission schemes shared across projects
Voting on items
Security levels that hide sensitive items from everyone outside a named set of people, everywhere they could appear
Project details: description, lead, colour and default assignee
Workflows with the statuses and transitions your team uses
Rules on each move: who can make it, what must be filled in first, approvals, and what happens after
Move items between projects with their history, and old keys keep working in links, search and queries
Archive a finished project: it stays readable, leaves the pickers, and its automation stops

Ask a question of all your work, save the answer and share it.

A readable query language that can search history, with errors that suggest a fix
An issue navigator with basic and query modes, sortable columns and a column chooser
Saved filters, private or shared, with favourites in the sidebar
Filter results by email, daily or weekly, showing each person only what they can open
Bulk edit, with a report of what changed and what was skipped
CSV import with column mapping, a preview and a dry run
Export results to Excel, PDF or CSV

Run Scrum or Kanban, or both in different projects.

Scrum and Kanban boards, plus calendar and editable list views
Swimlanes by assignee, epic, priority or your own queries, and dragging between lanes changes the field
Quick filter chips, and minimum and maximum limits on columns
Drag and drop on the board and backlog, with keyboard support
Edit the title, assignee and story points on a card without opening it
Sprint planning, start and close
Versions and releases with a progress bar and generated release notes, and unresolved work moved on
Components with a default assignee

See what work was expected to take, and what it took.

Project admins set a trigger, optional conditions and up to 20 actions, and the rule does the rest.

Start from a library of ready-made rules, or build your own
Run when an item is created, moved or changed, when a comment is added, on a schedule, or by hand
Conditions on fields, or any query you can write in the navigator
Move, assign, set fields and labels, comment, notify, send a webhook or create a linked item
Loop protection, a run limit, and rules that only act inside their own project
Run history for each rule, and every rule change in the audit log

Plan beyond the sprint, and see how it is going.

A timeline of epics with dependency arrows and release markers: drag to reschedule, or switch to a table
A timeline across projects from any saved filter
Version and epic reports with a forecast range, and an epic burndown
SAFe PI planning
Dashboards, private or shared with a project, a group or the organisation, and one can be your home page
Gadgets for filters, charts, burndown, velocity, queue health and your own work, each showing only what the viewer can see
Burnup charts per sprint or release, with CSV export
Roadmaps can be embedded live in Caelus pages

Smart links turn a PAY-142 reference in Caelus or Mercury into a live preview.

Activity is recorded in the shared tamper-evident audit log.

Minerva shares sign-in, access rules, audit and smart links with the other two tools. Use one, or all three.
