Why use Tenhaw when GitHub Projects is free?

GitHub Projects is a basic task board. It has no outcome tracking, no forecasting, no AI delivery intelligence, and no team health monitoring. The cost of making delivery decisions without these capabilities - missed deadlines, wasted effort, invisible burnout - far exceeds Tenhaw's pricing. Tenhaw starts at £100/month.

Does Tenhaw integrate with GitHub?

Yes. Tenhaw integrates with GitHub for code linking and PR tracking. You keep your code in GitHub and manage delivery in Tenhaw - getting the best of both worlds.

Can Tenhaw replace GitHub Projects for project management?

Yes. Tenhaw includes Kanban boards and backlog management - everything GitHub Projects offers for project management, plus outcome tracking, forecasting, AI workers, and team health on top.

Is Tenhaw suitable for developer-led teams?

Absolutely. Tenhaw is designed for teams where delivery leaders and developers collaborate. Developers get a clean workflow for managing their work, while delivery leaders get the intelligence layer - forecasting, value tracking, and health monitoring - they need to make decisions.

Is GitHub Projects good enough for project management?

GitHub Projects works well for lightweight task tracking directly alongside code, especially for open-source or small teams. For teams needing delivery forecasting, outcome tracking, or team health monitoring, a dedicated tool like Tenhaw provides significantly more depth.

Does GitHub Projects have Monte Carlo forecasting?

GitHub Projects does not include Monte Carlo or any probabilistic forecasting features. It provides basic board and table views for organising issues. Tenhaw includes Monte Carlo forecasting natively to give teams data-driven delivery date predictions.

Can GitHub Projects track business value or delivery outcomes?

GitHub Projects tracks issues and pull requests but has no concept of business value or outcome measurement. Tenhaw is designed around outcome-driven backlogs and tracks value delivery in £/$, connecting engineering work to business impact.

How much does GitHub Projects cost?

GitHub Projects is included free with all GitHub plans, including the free tier. There is no additional per-user charge for the Projects feature. This makes it attractive for teams already using GitHub, though it is limited compared to dedicated delivery tools.

What are the limitations of GitHub Projects?

GitHub Projects lacks velocity tracking, delivery forecasting, team health monitoring, and business outcome measurement. It is designed as a lightweight layer on top of GitHub Issues, not as a full delivery intelligence platform.

Does GitHub Projects have AI features?

GitHub Copilot focuses on code generation rather than project management intelligence. GitHub Projects itself has minimal AI capabilities for work management. Tenhaw provides 11 AI workers specifically designed for delivery intelligence, forecasting, and backlog management.

Is GitHub Projects suitable for non-engineering stakeholders?

GitHub Projects is developer-centric and can feel unfamiliar to product managers, designers, or business stakeholders who do not use GitHub daily. Tenhaw provides an interface designed for both technical and non-technical delivery leaders.

Can I use GitHub Projects and Tenhaw together?

Yes. Tenhaw can work alongside GitHub as a delivery intelligence layer, adding outcome tracking, Monte Carlo forecasting, and team health monitoring on top of your existing GitHub workflow. This gives teams the best of both - GitHub for code and Tenhaw for delivery insights.

Tenhaw vs GitHub Projects

GitHub Projects manages tasks. Tenhaw manages delivery.

How does Tenhaw compare to GitHub Projects?

GitHub Projects is GitHub's built-in project management tool, offering lightweight task tracking alongside your code. It's convenient for developer-centric teams who want everything in one place. But GitHub Projects is a basic task board - it has no delivery intelligence, no forecasting, no AI workers, and no value tracking. Tenhaw provides the delivery layer that GitHub Projects was never designed to be.

What GitHub Projects does well

We believe in honest comparisons. Here's where GitHub Projects genuinely excels:

Deeply integrated with GitHub repos, PRs, and issues
Free for most teams already using GitHub
Familiar to developers who live in GitHub daily
Flexible custom fields and views
Automation via GitHub Actions integration

Tenhaw vs GitHub Projects: A detailed comparison

How the two platforms compare across the capabilities that matter most to delivery leaders.

Delivery Intelligence vs Task Boards

tenhaw

Tenhaw is a dedicated delivery intelligence platform. Every feature is designed to help delivery leaders track outcomes, forecast delivery, and understand team health. You get real-time visibility into business value delivered, not just tasks moved across columns.

GitHub Projects

GitHub Projects is a lightweight task board integrated with GitHub issues. It's great for tracking what's in progress, but it has no concept of business outcomes, delivery forecasting, or team health. It's project management in its simplest form.

Forecasting with Confidence vs Tracking Progress

tenhaw

Tenhaw runs Monte Carlo simulations on live data to produce probabilistic delivery dates. Leadership gets answers like "85% chance we ship by March 15" instead of asking every standup when things will be ready.

GitHub Projects

GitHub Projects has no forecasting capability. You can see what's done and what's left, but you can't predict when things will be complete with any statistical confidence. Delivery dates come from team estimates, not data.

AI Workers vs GitHub Actions

tenhaw

Tenhaw's 11 AI workers focus on delivery intelligence - writing stories, prioritising backlogs, detecting blockers, and predicting risk. They're purpose-built for delivery management and run continuously in the background.

GitHub Projects

GitHub Actions automates CI/CD workflows, not delivery intelligence. While powerful for build and deploy, it doesn't help with story writing, backlog prioritisation, or risk prediction. Copilot helps with code, not delivery.

Executive Visibility vs Developer Convenience

tenhaw

Tenhaw provides dashboards designed for CTOs and delivery leaders - value delivered, delivery confidence, team health scores, and portfolio views. Leadership gets the data they need without chasing engineers for updates.

GitHub Projects

GitHub Projects is built for developers managing their own work. There's no executive dashboard, no value reporting, and no portfolio view. Getting leadership-level visibility requires exporting data and building reports manually.

Why delivery leaders switch from GitHub Projects to Tenhaw

GitHub Projects is convenient but basic

It's a task board, not a delivery platform. Once you need forecasting, value tracking, or AI assistance, you've outgrown GitHub Projects.

No forecasting at all

GitHub Projects can show you what's done and what's left, but it can't predict when something will be delivered. Tenhaw gives you Monte Carlo-backed delivery dates.

Free isn't free if it costs you visibility

The lack of outcome tracking, team health monitoring, and delivery intelligence means leadership is flying blind. That costs far more than Tenhaw's pricing.

AI should help with delivery, not just code

GitHub Copilot writes code; Tenhaw's 11 AI workers manage delivery - writing stories, detecting blockers, prioritising backlogs, and predicting risk.

Growing teams need dedicated delivery tools

GitHub Projects works for a single squad, but portfolio-level visibility across multiple teams requires Tenhaw's delivery intelligence layer.
