Free trial · first initiative this afternoon

Engineering without an outcome is silence in the meeting.

In Forge, every issue rolls to deploy and every initiative defends its own ROI. When someone asks "what for?", you already have the answer.

For engineering teams that ship a lot and defend too little.

Engineering isn't shipping less. It just can't show it.

Backlog, spreadsheet, chat thread — three artifacts, three versions, zero answers in the leadership meeting.

Hey — what did engineering ship this quarter?

A lot. Let me pull it up…

And the estimated ROI?
VP Eng is typing…
MOV 0.1

An unprioritized backlog is a queue by loudness.

Without criteria, whoever shouts loudest cuts to the front. The team ships what's urgent, not what matters.

MOV 0.2

A roadmap spreadsheet starts current and ends fiction.

One person edits, nobody sees. By Wednesday it's stale — and next quarter, nobody remembers what was planned.

MOV 0.3

In the leadership meeting, silence.

"What was the quarter's ROI?" The answer is a Slack thread from three days ago. None.

Three places telling three different stories. The one story leadership needs to hear isn't in any of them.

Route. Ship. Defend.

Every issue becomes a line inside an initiative. Every initiative becomes a case you can defend — with a declared outcome and estimated ROI sitting right next to the work.

01

Every issue lives inside an initiative.

From pending to deploy, on the same board. Nobody has to guess which initiative they're shipping for.

TARGET DELIVERY
Q2 · 2026
02

Outcome declared, not assumed.

Risk, revenue, satisfaction — each initiative weights how much it moves each one. No more debating "which direction are we going".

03

Estimated ROI before the meeting, not after.

Estimated cost and return sit next to the work. When leadership asks, the answer is already on screen.

Issue, initiative, outcome — always the same path. When someone asks "what for?", you show them the screen.

From empty board to defensible roadmap.

Three steps. In one afternoon, engineering stops shipping in the dark.

#1

Create a domain

Platform, data, mobile — link it to the matching repository.

#2

Create the first initiative

Declare the business outcome and the estimated ROI. Five minutes of work.

#3

Drag issues across the board

Pending to deploy, one flow. Each one rolls inside an initiative.

Pricing

A password vault for everyone. A helpdesk for your IT team. Inventory for your devices. Pick what fits — together or separately.

Vault

$3 per user / month

Free for individual use

Start with Vault

A password vault for the whole company, not just IT.

Every credential lives in a vault that knows who each person is, who can see what, and what changed yesterday.

Cheaper than 1Password Business and Bitwarden Teams.

IT Suite

Recommended

$29 per agent / month

Requesters never pay

Try free for 7 days

Helpdesk, vault, inventory, projects and documentation living in the same organism.

A ticket opens and already finds the asset, the vendor, the credential and the wiki page that explains the procedure. Built-in AI summarizes the conversation and suggests the reply. Your team stops hunting for context and gets back to solving problems.

Same price as Freshservice alone.

Inventory

$1 per device / month

First 50 devices free on any paid plan

Add Inventory

Every device with its vendor, contract and history in the same record.

The asset shows up on the ticket when needed, surfaces the warranty when the vendor is contacted, and remembers the contract when the invoice arrives. No parallel spreadsheet.

Cheaper than Lansweeper. And connected to your helpdesk, unlike Snipe-IT.

Teams that stopped shipping in the dark

Engineering managers, platform leads, and tech leads who traded Jira + a spreadsheet for Forge.

I showed the CEO the estimated ROI of all seven initiatives for the quarter. Walked out of the meeting with two more headcount.

L

Louise, Engineering Manager at a fintech

Replaced Jira plus a roadmap spreadsheet. The whole team was on Forge in two weeks. I don't miss either one.

P

Peter, Platform Lead at a B2B SaaS

In progress, ready to test, in test, ready to deploy. The board finally covers the code cycle — not what the tool thinks exists.

R

Ralph, Tech Lead at a marketplace

F.A.Q.

Short answers on Forge.

Stop shipping in the dark.
