How CloudDrove replaced Jira with GitHub + Octoboard
CloudDrove manages 60+ repos (public and internal) with a team of 30+ engineers. Before Octoboard, they used Jira for project tracking — which meant duplicating every GitHub issue, syncing statuses manually, and paying per seat.
After switching to Octoboard, the team dropped Jira entirely. GitHub Issues became the single source of truth. Delivery metrics, risk signals, and team performance are now visible in real time — with zero manual effort and zero cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is Octoboard really free?
Yes — 100% free for all teams, with no per-seat pricing, no usage limits, and no credit card required. Octoboard is free for all teams — no limits, no catches.
What data does Octoboard access?
Only metadata — issue titles, PR states, workflow statuses, and contributor activity. We never access your source code, file contents, or commit diffs.
How is this different from GitHub Projects?
GitHub Projects gives you boards. Octoboard gives you the analytics layer on top — DORA metrics, cycle time, throughput charts, risk detection, AI-powered insights, and a team leaderboard. Think of it as the dashboard GitHub doesn't have.
What about GitHub API rate limits?
Octoboard uses GitHub App installation tokens which provide 15,000 requests per hour per org — more than enough for most teams. Each org gets its own rate limit budget.
Does it work with GitHub Enterprise?
Yes. Octoboard works with GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes. Sign in with GitHub, install the GitHub App on your org, and your dashboard is live. No migration, no configuration, no training needed.
