Getting Started with Docs

Docs help teams across an organization to:

Get Context Quickly

It’s hard to jump into discussions and unblock work when you can’t access relevant information. Shortcut makes it easy to provide context and meet people where they want to consume information. Have confidence that what you’re working on is the latest. Any changes you make automatically get synced to the core documentation that others are reading.

Stop Tool Hopping

It’s mentally exhausting to always be switching between tools. Shortcut offers an always in sync, seamless user experience across Docs and work (via one unified UI and consistent information architecture). Docs allow you to put your mental energy towards creativity, not context switching between tools.

Collaborate

Shortcut provides a single source of truth for product development. Shortcut makes it easy to collaborate by unifying and aligning teams across the development and GTM organization.

Merge Processes

Docs supports the rituals and processes you’re already using within the app. The product development lifecycle is enhanced by keeping everything synced within the Shortcut app.

The Shortcut Way

At Shortcut, we aim to be a fully integrated hub for teams to plan, manage, and document their work all through one unified experience, with zero context switching. We built, and continue to build Shortcut for:

  • Product people who truly, genuinely care that features are loved by users
  • Engineers who want to build things and fix problems, not fiddle with busy work and politics
  • Managers who don’t want to micromanage

Below are the core principles of the Shortcut Way. These are simple fundamentals designed to motivate, align, and make teams more productive. Shortcut is built on, and built to support, these practices.

  • Structure Your Team So Everyone's Voice is Heard
  • Set Goals From the Top and Innovate from the Bottom
  • Ideate Collectively
  • Plan and Build Continuously in One Tool
  • Maintain a Single Source of Truth
  • Create a Culture of User Empathy and Experimentation
  • Structure Your Work So You Can Ship Iteratively
  • Ship Often
  • Measure Successes and Celebrate Wins (and Failures)

Shortcut Docs

Docs seamlessly interacts with Shortcut's issue tracking features, making it simpler to plan, build, and ship new features.

Connect the context to the work
Docs seamlessly connect to the rest of Shortcut, giving your team documented context for ongoing work and making it easier to align and collaborate.

Work lives side by side with your documents - you’ll be able to list Stories and Epics connected to a Doc and see their status directly within that Doc. Our goal is to build something awesome so that you can document what you’re working on at a high level while still tying it back to all of your work-in-progress.

It's never been easier to turn words into work
Jam away in a Doc and whenever you're ready you can highlight the text in a Doc and with a couple of clicks turn it into a Story, Epic, Iteration, or Milestone. Better yet, the entire experience is all in one place so you're not jumping from tool to tool.

Ideate, collaborate, and align your team with Docs
It's easy to connect a Doc to the work in Shortcut at the Story, Epic, Milestone, and Iteration level so everything stays in sync as work moves forward.

Bring planning and building together
Product managers spend a lot of time updating various channels and attending meetings. They also put a lot of effort into creating good documentation. But documentation loses its value as soon as it becomes stale, when it becomes divorced from the execution of work, which is constantly evolving. As a PM, you don’t necessarily have time to constantly replicate content across Docs and Stories to keep everything up to date.
