Aero
What Aero does
Aero is the project and operations management product in SlateBeaver. It provides kanban boards, sprint planning, timesheets, and reporting for engineering teams.
Projects and boards
- A project is the top-level container - for example "Platform", "Frontend", or "Infrastructure"
- Each project has one or more boards
- Board types: Kanban, Sprint, Backlog, Timeline (Gantt)
- All views show the same underlying ticket data - switching views doesn't change what's tracked
Tickets
Each ticket has:
·Title and description
·Assignee
·Status (board column)
·Estimate (story points or hours)
·Labels
·Priority
·Comments and attachments
·Linked Aegis credentials (auto-populated when a reveal happens with the ticket active)
Sprints
- Create a sprint with a start date, end date, and capacity
- Move tickets from backlog into the sprint
- Track progress via the burndown chart
- Sprint velocity is calculated automatically across historical sprints
Timesheets
- One-click timer: start and stop with ticket context set automatically
- The timer runs server-side - it continues if you close your browser or laptop
- Weekly timesheet view: all logged time per project and per team member
- Export timesheets as CSV
