FogBugz · Austin, Texas, USA · founded 2001
What it is
FogBugz is a project management and issue tracking system for software development teams. Teams manage bugs, issues, and feature requests as cases that can be prioritized and assigned to one person. It supports Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban workflows, plus custom workflows and roadmaps. Evidence-Based Scheduling uses historical timesheet data to generate ship-date probability distributions, and time tracking is available. A unified search spans documents, wikis, articles, code, issues, bugs, and discussions. Built-in integrations include Slack, Twitter, GitHub, Google Drive, and Trello; API endpoints support third-party and custom integrations. An integrated support desk captures bug reports, requests, and inquiries for automatic triage. FogBugz is available on the web and as an On-Premise version for customer servers. The on-premise option requires Microsoft IIS and Microsoft SQL Server and supports Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019. Paid plans have a 14-day trial and no free plan. The trial is limited to 500 users per account and five email notifications per day.
