What is in the Software Development Agency template?

Last updated:

The Software Development Agency template creates a project with 5 workstreams: Client Projects, Deliverables, Sprint Planning, Bug Tracking and Invoicing & Billing. Each workstream has its own stages: Client Projects, for example, runs Discovery → In Progress → Client Review → Delivered. Built for software and digital agencies, and every stage can be renamed, removed or given rules once you're in.

Make it yours

Change any stage once you are in

Rename a stage, add a new one, or change its type. Add entry conditions, like a due date before review, and require an approval before work moves into a stage.

Set up stages, rules and approvals →
Edit Stage in Slateo: stage name, stage type, two entry conditions and required approvers.
