Since its launch over 6 years ago, Unfuddle has grown a lot. What started out as a personal project designed to meet a single team's needs, has grown to helping hundreds of thousands of users develop software better. While Unfuddle has gained many features and improved as a product over this time, our industry has matured and project management methodologies have continued to evolve.

It's time for Unfuddle to evolve as well.

In the past months, we have hinted that we have been busy. Actually, "busy" is an understatement. Our team has been taking its years of experience in software project management and has been applying it to the development of a completely new suite of software development tools. We call this suite Unfuddle Alchemy.

We have been using Unfuddle Alchemy internally for some time now and are really excited about how it has aided our development. But it is now nearing time to share with you all what we have been working on. To that end, we are starting an invitation-only beta of the tools in our new suite. We cannot include everyone in the beta right now, but we are so excited that we want to give you a sneak peak into what we have been working on behind the scenes. Here are some hints: hierarchical objectives (replacing projects and tickets), sophisticated scheduling (including task boards), completely customizable workflows (custom states), live meetings, Mercurial, and much more.

If you are interested in receiving an invitation to the private beta of Unfuddle Alchemy, please sign up here. We cannot yet guarantee when you will receive an invite, but we will be sending out invitations over the coming weeks.
