One project, everyone invited. Free, unlimited members, no card. Columns are already set up, so there's nothing to configure while the clock is running.
For game jams
Most jam teams never discuss ownership, because during the jam it doesn't matter. It matters when the game does well and nobody wrote down who did what.
A jam team forms in a Discord server, builds something in a weekend, and dissolves. That's fine — until the game gets attention. Suddenly there's a Steam page to think about, and five people with five different memories of how much they contributed.
Nobody is acting in bad faith. The problem is that the only record of the weekend is a scattered Discord history and a shared Drive folder. There's no artefact that says the artist did the entire tileset and the audio person joined on Sunday afternoon.
The fix isn't a contract before the jam — nobody's signing paperwork to enter a 48-hour competition. It's keeping a record while you work, so the conversation later starts from facts instead of memory.
The whole setup takes about five minutes, and none of it slows the jam down.
One project, everyone invited. Free, unlimited members, no card. Columns are already set up, so there's nothing to configure while the clock is running.
Cards for tasks, drag them across as they're done. The only difference is that completed work is attributed, so the record builds itself while you're heads-down.
Seriously — it kills momentum and you don't have the information yet. The point is that the data exists afterwards if you need it.
If it stays a jam game, nothing happens and you've lost nothing. If it turns into a release, you have a contribution history to base a split on and an agreement you can actually sign.
This is the case worth preparing for. A jam game that gets picked up needs a revenue agreement, and writing one from scratch six months later means reconstructing the weekend from memory.
Because contributions were tracked as they happened, the split conversation starts from a record rather than an argument. You can adjust it — contribution points are a starting position, not a verdict — but you're negotiating from something instead of nothing.
The same project carries forward. You don't migrate anything: the jam board becomes the production board, and the people who were there from hour one are visibly there from hour one.
Five minutes now, and the post-jam conversation has facts in it.
