Why BacklogHygiene?

Three AI agents working together to keep your engineering backlog clean, visible, and strategically aligned.

The Janitor

Auto-detects stale tickets, duplicates, and missing fields. DMs engineers via Slack to fix issues before standup.

The Analyst

Generates narrative sprint summaries and blocker alerts. Translates code-language into business-language for leadership.

The Strategist

Maps your work to company OKRs. Shows investment profiles: New Value vs Tech Debt vs KTLO.

Setup

Get Started in 3 Steps

Go from zero to automated backlog hygiene in minutes, not weeks.

Step 01

Connect

Link your Jira or Linear workspace plus Slack in under two minutes. No code changes required.

Step 02

Configure

Set your hygiene rules, reporting schedule, and notification preferences. Templates included.

Step 03

Relax

AI handles cleanup automatically. Sprint reports and blocker alerts land in Slack on schedule.

Security First

Enterprise-Grade Security

Built for teams that take data security seriously. Your backlog data is protected at every layer.

End-to-End Encryption

All data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Your backlog data never leaves our secure infrastructure.

21-Point Security Audit

Multi-tenant hardened architecture. SSRF prevention, injection protection, fail-closed auth, and atomic operations — all verified.

No Data Storage

We process your tickets in real-time and never store raw issue content. Only aggregated metadata is retained for analytics.

OAuth 2.0 & Scoped Permissions

Minimal permission scopes. We only request read access to issues and write access to Slack messages. Nothing more.

Marcus Rivera

Engineering Manager, Vercel
