In-house product · Delivery & knowledge workspace

Track the work.Capture the knowledge.

Kollabry is a delivery and knowledge platform we designed and built end-to-end — issues, sprints, and retros in the same workspace as a knowledge base and collaborative whiteboards, so plans and the decisions behind them never drift apart.

Overview

One workspace, from idea to shipped — and remembered

Most teams run delivery in one tool and keep their thinking in another. The plan lives in a tracker; the decisions behind it scatter across wikis, docs, and whiteboards — and context is lost in the gap. Kollabry closes that gap with two connected surfaces on one canvas: Kollabry for tracking and Synergy for knowledge, linked both ways so context always travels with the work.

The challenge

Plans and the thinking behind them drift apart

01
Fragmented toolchain

A tracker, a wiki, and a whiteboard tool that never talk to each other — three logins, three sources of truth.

02
Lost context

The “why” behind an issue lives somewhere else. By the time work starts, the decision is hard to find.

03
No shared memory

Retros, specs, and approvals evaporate between cycles, so teams relearn the same lessons.

The idea

Two surfaces, one workspace

Not separate tools bolted together — work flows across both, and documents and issues stay linked in both directions.

Kollabry · TrackingRun the work

Everything you need to plan and deliver, shaped around how your team actually works.

  • Boards with custom statuses, WIP limits & blocked tracking
  • Backlog & sprints with capacity, velocity and burndown
  • Roadmap and initiative roll-ups
  • Retrospectives with actions tracked to done
Synergy · KnowledgeKeep the knowledge

The decisions, specs, and ideas behind the work — versioned, reviewed, and searchable.

  • Rich documents: tables, callouts, charts, diagrams, @mentions
  • Infinite-canvas whiteboards with live cursors
  • Reviews & approvals with a full audit trail
  • Version history with side-by-side compare
Features

A complete delivery & knowledge platform

Everything the team needs across the whole cycle, in one place.

▦
Boards that fit your flow

Live boards with statuses you create and reorder, WIP limits, and blocked-issue signals.

◷
Backlog & sprints

Plan deliberately, then run one or many sprints with capacity, velocity, and burndown.

↺
Retrospectives

Sticky notes, dot-voting, a timer, and action items tracked through to done.

◲
Knowledge base

Synergy documents with headings, tables, callouts, charts, diagrams, and @-mentions.

✎
Whiteboards

Brainstorm on an infinite canvas with shapes, sticky notes, and real-time cursors.

⟲
Version history & compare

Every edit is checkpointed. Compare any two versions side-by-side or unified.

✓
Reviews & approvals

Move a document from draft to review to approved, with an audit trail.

◉
Real-time collaboration

Live presence, in-context comments, and @mentions that reach people by email and in-app.

⚿
Passwordless & SSO

One-time email codes or Microsoft sign-in — no passwords to manage.

A closer look

Built for real-time teamwork

Boards & sprintsPlan the work, then run it

A live board that mirrors how your team really works, backed by deliberate sprint planning.

  • Drag-and-drop board with custom, reorderable statuses
  • Sub-tasks, dependencies, and blocked-issue badges
  • Capacity, velocity, and burndown per sprint
  • Group and roll up work by initiative
Synergy knowledge baseDocuments that hold the decisions

A rich editor where specs, plans, and notes live next to the work they describe.

  • Headings, tables, callouts, code, charts & diagrams
  • Reusable templates for specs, plans, and meeting notes
  • @-mentions and two-way links to issues
  • Full-text search across the workspace
Whiteboards & approvalsFrom brainstorm to sign-off

Ideate on an open canvas, then move the output through review to an approved, versioned record.

  • Infinite canvas with shapes, sticky notes & live cursors
  • Draft → in review → approved, with reviewers and history
  • Version checkpoints with side-by-side compare
  • Notifications for mentions, reviews, and due dates
Our approach

How we built it

A deliberate path from discovery to a launched, hardened product.

01
Discovery & definition

Framed the problem, mapped the delivery-to-knowledge loop, and defined the product's scope.

02
UX & interface design

Designed a fast, focused UI where tracking and knowledge feel like one product, not two.

03
Technical solution design

Architected for real-time collaboration, scale, and security from the outset.

04
Build, harden & launch

Engineered end-to-end, tuned performance, and shipped across modern devices and browsers.
