## What it is
Fulcrum is a self-hosted, open-source agile project planning tool that provides user-story-based backlog management, modeled after Pivotal Tracker. It supports story points, velocity tracking, iterations, and prioritization, and is built as a Ruby on Rails web application.

## Use cases
- manage an agile product backlog with user stories
- self-host an open-source alternative to Pivotal Tracker
- track team velocity and project delivery estimates
- plan iterations with story points and prioritization
- give product owners a real-time view of the project plan

## When to choose
- you need a free, self-hosted Pivotal Tracker-style backlog tool
- you want full control over your agile planning data
- you're comfortable running a Ruby on Rails application

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is officially unmaintained
- you want modern agile tooling with current security patches
- you prefer a SaaS or non-Rails deployment

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, ruby
