Mainline
Where Agile theatre goes to die.
Mainline is a project management tool designed for software teams that practice continuous delivery. It replaces backlogs and story points with user story maps, enforces a WIP limit of one active story per person, and surfaces flow metrics like cumulative flow and branch age. It also includes a free CI monitor that connects to GitHub to track branch longevity and integration discipline.
Teams organize work on a user story map instead of a backlog, with the database enforcing one active story per person, while flow metrics and a GitHub CI monitor make integration and delivery discipline visible.
