Question 1

What is PlanMagnet?

Accepted Answer

PlanMagnet is a product & project management platform that unites roadmaps, backlogs, sprints, docs, dashboards, and automation in one workspace. Instead of stitching a tracker, a doc tool, and a spreadsheet together, your planning and your delivery live in one connected source of truth.

Question 2

Is PlanMagnet available yet?

Accepted Answer

PlanMagnet is pre-launch and currently in waitlist. We are building toward a 2026 debut. Everything on this site describes what the platform is being built to do, written honestly as the target experience — not as a record of real customers, results, or metrics.

Question 3

Who is PlanMagnet for?

Accepted Answer

It is for product and engineering teams and the leaders who run them — product managers shaping a roadmap, engineers working a board, scrum masters running sprints, and leaders who want one view across teams instead of a pile of status decks.

Question 4

How does the roadmap connect to actual work?

Accepted Answer

Initiatives on the roadmap link down to the epics and tasks that deliver them. Because the roadmap is connected to the real work, it moves when the work moves — so a status update is a glance, not a gather, and the roadmap never goes stale the moment it is presented.

Question 5

Does PlanMagnet support OKRs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can define objectives and measurable key results, link them to the initiatives and epics that contribute, and progress rolls up automatically — so goals stay connected to delivery instead of being a quarterly ritual in a separate tool.

Question 6

What board styles are supported?

Accepted Answer

Both Kanban and Scrum. Boards are configurable with the columns, swimlanes, and WIP limits your team chooses, and sprints can be planned from a prioritised backlog and closed with a burndown and clean carry-over.

Question 7

Can I customise issue types and workflows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Custom issue types carry their own fields and workflow states, so a bug, a task, and a spike can each follow the path that fits it. Every change is recorded with a full history of who changed what and when.

Question 8

Are docs and specs part of the platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can write requirements, design docs, runbooks, and a knowledge base in a rich editor, linked directly to the epics and tasks they describe — so the spec and the work stay in sync instead of drifting apart in two tools.

Question 9

Can I automate repetitive process steps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A no-code automation builder lets you compose rules from triggers and actions: route new work, keep statuses in sync, escalate stale items, and post updates automatically — so your process runs itself instead of relying on memory.

Question 10

What does PlanMagnet integrate with?

Accepted Answer

PlanMagnet is API-first and GraphQL-based. The plan is to connect source control (so commits update tickets), CI/CD (so deploys can advance releases), and chat, plus webhooks and a GraphQL API so teams can build their own integrations. Specific connectors are being finalised pre-launch.

Question 11

Does PlanMagnet use AI?

Accepted Answer

AI-assisted planning — drafting tickets from an idea, summarising threads, forecasting delivery dates, and flagging at-risk work — is a headline part of our roadmap. We describe it honestly as the target experience so the vision and the current reality are never confused.

Question 12

How much will PlanMagnet cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing tiers will be confirmed closer to launch. The plan is to scale from a free or entry tier for getting started, through professional tiers for growing teams, to enterprise editions with deeper governance and dedicated support. Join the waitlist or contact us to talk through your needs.

Question 13

How do I get early access?

Accepted Answer

Join the waitlist. We will notify you the moment access opens. If you are a team or enterprise with a specific use case — for example a migration from an existing tracker — reach out via the contact page and we will work through it with you.

Question 14

Can I migrate from Jira, Trello, or Asana?

Accepted Answer

Yes — migration support is part of our services. We help map fields, statuses, and workflows from your current tools into PlanMagnet and migrate issues, comments, and history where feasible, with a parallel-run validation and a reversible cutover plan. See the Services page.

Question 15

How do workspace permissions work?

Accepted Answer

Every project, item, doc, and dashboard belongs to a workspace, so collaboration, permissions, multi-tenancy, and audit are built in from day one. Identity and authorization are inherited from the Burdenoff platform — PlanMagnet does not reinvent auth.

Question 16

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

PlanMagnet runs on the Burdenoff platform with RBAC, audited actions, multi-tenant isolation, and encrypted secrets. Data is hosted in compliance-grade cloud regions. See the Security and Privacy pages for detail.

Question 17

Which third parties process data?

Accepted Answer

We publish our subprocessors — the infrastructure, communication, and platform providers that help run the service. The list is on the Subprocessors page; some launch-critical providers are still being finalised and are marked accordingly.
