JetBrains Space

White Paper: IT Project Management

JetBrains Space is a set of all the necessary tools for interaction within teams of any size, from a small department to an entire company. It is a tool focused on both technical and non-technical specialists, which covers all software development and teamwork processes. By automating routine tasks, Space helps you work more productively and focus on code creation and the big picture: you can determine the composition of a team, create a chat and repository for it, execute a review code, collect and publish a release assembly - all this without changing the context.

2021: Remote Software Development Functionality

The company JetBrains November 29, 2021 announced the release of a public version of the solution for remote software development. IntelliJ IDEA and other IDE users on the IntelliJ platform will be able to access full development environments in the cloud or on a private server instantly.

Remote development functionality is also available in JetBrains Space along with other features that simplify the operation of commands. More details here.

According to the company, Space combines tools in one solution to communicate with colleagues, schedule meetings, manage teams and projects, and maintain documentation - everything you need to work together. The functionality of Space already covers all stages of software development and will be expanded through tools for other specialists and teams.

This is a tool that provides a comfortable working environment for the entire company. It helps users focus on tasks and not lose concentration due to a forced change in context. You can extend and customize your Space functionality to meet your needs by connecting applications, integrating with tools built on the Space platform, and using customizations within the product.

Working in Space, you do not need to switch between tools: everything is assembled in one place. This helps to get a clear idea of what is happening in the company. We use checklists, tasks, code review, blog and many other functions. Space allows you to keep everything under control. noted Andras Kindler, co-founder of Makery, a digital services and product provider

Before the advent of Space, our developers often felt disconnected from the rest of the team and did not play the role in projects that they could. We were looking for a tool that would bring everything together and allow team members to discuss tasks with each other, rather than sitting in isolation in their repositories. shared by Anna Vinogradova, Marketing Director at AmberCore Software

In recent months, the Space team has been optimizing various aspects of the system, including chats, meetings, tasks, calendars and mobile applications, as well as adding updated functionality: documents, task boards, automation of CI/CD processes, personal business lists and alternating code reviews.

In the future, synchronization Outlook Google with and Calendar will appear, as well as integration with other tools. As for extensibility, the Space team has already introduced webhooks, HTTP API Space Client, SDK customizable fields and automation. There will soon be support for custom applications and the ability to publish applications to the Marketplace, as well as other opportunities for expansion.

Space is suitable for commands of any size. The subscription model provides a free plan with a wide range of features. Paid plans start at $8 per active user per month. For December 2020, Space is a cloud solution, but a local version will appear in the near future.

2019: Launch of JetBrains Space as part of the early access program

On December 6, 2019 the JetBrains company reported to TAdviser about official start of Space - the tool for team work which can begin to be used within the program of early access.

Space is an integrated teamwork environment that combines a wide range of tools in a single solution for communicating with colleagues, scheduling meetings, managing teams, projects, and development processes. Space is suitable for teams of all sizes, from startups to large companies. Between 2017 and 2018, the percentage of organizations using spreadsheets to manage projects decreased from 74% to 67%, and some of them switched to specialized tools. But such tools do not cover many important aspects of the workflow.

In Space, all the information that the team needs to work is stored in one place, and development tools (source code management, review code, continuous integration, delivery and deployment, package repositories, error tracking, planning tools, and project documentation) are supported by functionality for communication and effective interaction. You can automate any workflow from adding employees to your team and setting up rules for merge-Requests to continuous integration and deployment processes. In Space, you can schedule appointments, manage projects, track tasks, make code reviews, and maintain an internal company blog.

Tools for teamwork are many, popular, including in Russia, are used by Asana, Jira, Trello.

Most existing collaboration solutions, from development tools to task management, help solve only certain problems. People have to constantly switch between tools and tabs, copy information manually, as a result they lose time and concentration. JetBrains Space changes the state of affairs and allows you to take a different look at the creative process, including development, noted CEO JetBrains Maxim Shafirov

Space is distributed according to the subscription model, which provides a free plan with a minimum set of features. Paid plans start at $8 per active user per month. Space strives to become a single working environment for a wide variety of teams: designers, marketers, sales specialists, accountants, etc.

{{quote 'author = added Shafirov' For us, launching Space is a very exciting event. Over the past 20 years, we have accumulated technical experience in JetBrains, creating professional tools for developers and teams. We understand not only what technologies are needed for successful creative projects, but also how the process should be arranged and what tools are needed for this. Space fills an important gap in the organization of business processes, so we have been using it internally for two years. We are glad that now he will be able to benefit other teams, }}
