Overview

YouTrack lets teams customize issue fields and workflows, plan sprints and dependencies, and analyze work through reports and dashboards. Knowledge-base articles and helpdesk tickets can share the same environment as engineering tasks. Cloud is hosted by JetBrains; Server runs on the customer’s infrastructure. Cloud is free for up to 10 users with 30 GB storage and three helpdesk agents. Above 10 users, all users become paid rather than only the excess. Helpdesk teams with four or more agents pay an additional agent charge, and each agent also needs a user license. New commercial Server purchases use annual subscriptions from June 2026; legacy license terms are separate. A Cloud scale trial allows 100 users and 50 agents for 14 days without a card.

Project Planning

Partial supportBuilt in
What you can do
  • Interactive Gantt edits task dates and finish-to-start dependencies, aggregates subtasks and applies simultaneous-work or single-field-value constraints.
  • Gantt caps simultaneous issues globally or per assignee; working days and hours come from time-tracking settings. Capacity is an issue count, not skill-based allocation.

Project Tracking

Partial supportBuilt in
What you can do
  • Analyze delivery with configurable reports, dashboards and manual or automated time tracking.

Gantt/Timeline View

Partial supportBuilt in
What you can do
  • Interactive Gantt edits task dates and finish-to-start dependencies, aggregates subtasks and applies simultaneous-work or single-field-value constraints.

Kanban Board

Partial supportBuilt in
What you can do
  • Create boards from Scrum or Kanban presets and adapt them to team workflows.

Project Time Tracking

Partial supportBuilt in
What you can do
  • Record work-item time against issues and report estimated versus spent effort.

Measurement
  • Description
    Gantt compares spent time with estimates, marks overruns and recalculates successor start dates from actual effort and finish-to-start dependencies.

Granularity
  • Description
    One Gantt chart selects issues from configured projects and aggregates parent tasks from subtasks; chart inclusion remains a user choice.

Workflow boundary and exception handling
  • Recalculate delays successors when predecessor spent time exceeds its estimate and brings them forward after early completion. Manually dragged issues cannot be recalculated.
