Project management for Visual Studio teams
Vi connects Visual Studio workflows with tasks, Git, and project boards — so developers finish work in the IDE and the board updates itself.
Visual Studio extension — Available
Why Visual Studio teams need project management closer to the IDE
Visual Studio developers live in solutions, branches, and debug sessions — not in a browser tab. Every ticket update means leaving the IDE, finding the right work item, and clicking through forms. That's why boards drift out of date and standups turn into status interviews. Vi moves the task workflow to where the work happens, and keeps the board in sync with Git.
The Commit & Close workflow
With Commit & Close, a developer marks a task Done from the IDE and Vi stages the changes, creates a task-aware commit, pushes to Git, closes the task, advances the workflow, and updates the project board automatically. The Visual Studio extension — a task panel plus Commit & Close — is published on the Visual Studio Marketplace and available today for Visual Studio 2022 and 2026.

Until the Visual Studio extension is released, Visual Studio teams can use the full Vi web app for project management, workflows, approvals, time tracking, Gantt, Portfolio, Calendar, reporting, and team visibility:
Tasks, projects & boards
Web-based task and project management with List, Kanban, Gantt, and Portfolio views.
Custom workflows & approvals
Custom workflow steps with per-step approval chains — nothing ships without sign-off.
AutoAssign & time tracking
Workload-based auto-assignment plus a built-in timer, so estimates and reality stay connected.
One active task per developer
Vi's focus rule keeps each developer on one In Progress task at a time — the board always shows real work.
Current status: Available
The Vi extension for Visual Studio is published on the Visual Studio Marketplace and available today — a task panel, timer, chat, and Commit & Close, for Visual Studio 2022 and 2026. We publish honest statuses — Available means available.
Your source code stays yours
When using Vi IDE integrations, all Git operations run locally on the developer's machine. Vi never accesses, stores, or uploads source code — it orchestrates the task workflow, nothing more.
