Four primitives that actually ship work.
SyncHq doesn't add another project management layer. It gives your team four precise tools - cycles, tasks, conversations, and daily logs - that cover the full arc of a sprint without the noise.
The four primitives
Each primitive does one thing well.
Cycles
Time-boxed sprint periods
A Cycle is a fixed time window - typically 1 or 2 weeks - that groups tasks into a clear delivery unit. At the start of a cycle, you pull in tasks from the backlog. At the end, incomplete tasks are rolled over or archived. You always know what the team committed to this sprint and what shipped.
- Set a start and end date, give the cycle a goal
- Drag tasks from backlog into the active cycle
- Track cycle velocity across past sprints
- Auto-roll unfinished tasks to the next cycle
- Per-project or cross-project cycle views
Tasks
Individual work items with full context
A Task is the atomic unit of work. Each task has an assignee, priority (urgent / high / medium / low), status (open / in progress / in review / done), deadline, description, subtasks, and attached files. Tasks live inside a project, can be placed inside a cycle, and accumulate a full conversation thread.
- 4 priority levels that bubble up in team views
- Status workflow: open → in progress → review → done
- Subtasks for breaking down complex deliverables
- File attachments kept alongside the work
- Link tasks to form dependency chains
Conversations
Threaded discussion on every task and project
Every task and project has a native conversation thread. Team members leave comments, tag each other, share files, and react - without switching to Slack. Clients can participate in project-level threads when you grant them visibility. Internal threads stay hidden from the client portal.
- Inline on every task and project - no separate inbox
- Tag teammates with @mentions
- Client-visible threads separated from internal ones
- File and image attachments inline in comments
- Notifications on replies and @mentions
Daily Logs
Async standup entries per team member
Daily Logs are structured end-of-day entries. Each team member writes what they completed, what they're working on next, and any blockers. Logs are attached to projects and visible to project managers. No standup call needed - the team's pulse is captured asynchronously and searchable forever.
- Per-team-member daily entry per project
- Completed, next up, and blockers structure
- Visible to admins and project managers
- Searchable log history per project
- Notification digest for managers each morning
Built-in capabilities
Everything your team needs, nothing extra.
Multiple task views
Switch between kanban board, list view, and timeline without losing context. Each view is a lens on the same underlying data.
Task dependencies
Mark Task B as blocked by Task A. When the blocker is resolved, dependent tasks are automatically surfaced to the right person.
Priority escalation
Urgent tasks surface to the top across all team views. Priorities are visible in cycle planning, kanban, and team capacity.
Multi-assignee tasks
Assign a primary owner and tag additional contributors. Everyone on the task gets notified on updates and comments.
Time tracking
Log hours directly on tasks. Time rolls up to the project for billing calculations without a separate time-tracking tool.
Smart reminders
Automated reminders fire 24 hours before deadlines and when tasks are overdue. No-one misses a date because they forgot to check.
How it works
A sprint, from first task to shipped.
Open a cycle for the sprint
Set two weeks, name the cycle goal, and invite the team to fill in their tasks from the project backlog. The cycle board is immediately visible to everyone assigned to the project.
Work flows through tasks
Team members move tasks through the status pipeline. Conversations happen inline. Files get attached. Daily logs capture async standups. Everything stays in one place.
Cycle closes, insights surface
At cycle end, SyncHq calculates delivery velocity, rolls over incomplete work, and updates the analytics dashboard. The next cycle starts with perfect visibility into what was completed.

A Cycle is a fixed time window - usually one or two weeks - that groups work into a delivery unit, like a sprint. A Task is the atomic work item with an assignee, priority, status, and deadline. Tasks live inside projects and can be pulled into a Cycle.
