Comparison
LiteTracker vs Pivotal Tracker
Pivotal Tracker shut down. LiteTracker picks up exactly where it left off — same workflow, same story states, same velocity model. Your team won't miss a beat.
Feature by feature
| Pivotal Tracker | LiteTracker | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Shut down — no new signups | Actively maintained & developed |
| Story States | Unstarted → Started → Finished → Delivered → Accepted | Identical workflow — zero relearning |
| Velocity Tracking | Automatic rolling velocity | Same automatic velocity calculation |
| Story Points | Fibonacci scale (0–8) | Same Fibonacci scale |
| Data Migration | No export option — data lost | One-click CSV import of full history |
| Pricing | Per-user, costs scaled fast | Free plan + $10/seat/mo Pro — all features, no tier upgrades |
| Performance | Slow on large projects | Fast — built for large backlogs |
The Pivotal workflow, actively maintained
Same story states, same velocity model, same Fibonacci points — plus faster performance, transparent pricing, and a migration path for your data.
Identical Story States
Unstarted, Started, Finished, Delivered, Accepted — exactly the workflow your team already knows. Zero relearning on day one.
Same Velocity Model
Rolling velocity calculated exactly as Pivotal did it. Your historical velocity carries over and your sprint forecasts stay accurate from sprint one.
Same Fibonacci Scale
The same 0–8 Fibonacci estimation your team used in Pivotal, driving velocity the same way. No new estimation system to learn or teach.
Full Data Import
Export your Pivotal project as CSV and upload it to LiteTracker. Stories, epics, labels, points, and state all migrate in a single upload.
Faster Performance
Pivotal got slow on large backlogs. LiteTracker is built for big projects — fast load times and responsive drag-and-drop even with thousands of stories.
Simple Pricing
Pivotal charged per user and feature-gated advanced capabilities. LiteTracker's Pro plan gives the full sprint workflow at $10/seat/mo — start free, no credit card needed.
The Hard Truth
Pivotal Tracker is gone — and taking your workflow with it
Pivotal Tracker was the defining agile tool for a generation of software teams. But it's shut down. Logins don't work, new members can't be added, and no one is fixing bugs or shipping features. Every team without a replacement is running an agile process on borrowed time.
| Situation | Pivotal Tracker | LiteTracker |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Shut down — login no longer works | Live, actively maintained |
| Project data | Locked out — exported CSV only | Import full history in minutes |
| Feature updates | None — frozen permanently | New features shipped every sprint |
| New team members | Cannot onboard anyone new | Instant invite and onboard |
Team Velocity After the Shutdown
Without a replacement tool, sprint rhythm breaks down
Without a structured replacement, sprint rhythm breaks down — velocity declines as workarounds compound.
Sprint Momentum
Without a proper tool, sprint rhythm breaks down
After the shutdown, teams without a structured replacement started losing their cadence. Spreadsheets replaced velocity charts. Slack threads replaced story states. The rolling average that used to climb sprint-over-sprint started declining as the team scattered across a patchwork of workarounds.
Everything you loved, nothing you lost
LiteTracker was built specifically to replace Pivotal Tracker — not just inspired by it.
Identical Workflow
Same story states, same backlog structure, same sprint model. Your team ships on day one without relearning anything.
Bring Your History
Export from Pivotal Tracker as CSV, upload to LiteTracker — your stories, epics, labels, and points migrate in minutes.
Real Velocity
Automatic rolling velocity calculation — the same model Pivotal used. Your forecasts stay accurate from the very first sprint.
Your team is already trained
If your team used Pivotal Tracker, they already know LiteTracker. Import your project and keep shipping.
