Overview ​

Hive is a shared home for product signals, plans, and shipped work. It connects the feedback arriving today with the decisions a team makes and the improvements people can use later.

How work moves through Hive ​

Hive uses six concepts:

  1. Projects represent a product, codebase, or service. A project owns the repositories and incoming sources that belong to it.
  2. Domains describe durable product areas that can span more than one project. They let people follow a concern such as authentication, performance, or developer experience across the organization.
  3. Forage gathers feature requests, bug reports, feedback, GitHub issues, and Grafana alerts into one queue.
  4. Specs turn those signals into proposals. A spec records the intended outcome, its current status, revisions, and discussion.
  5. Postmortems preserve what happened during an incident, what the team learned, and the follow-up work that remains.
  6. Drops show the user-facing improvements that shipped and connect them back to projects, domains, and supporting work.

This creates a loop from evidence to intent to delivery. Teams can use only the parts they need without adopting a separate product methodology.

Choose your path ​

If your organization already runs Hive, start with the product guide:

  • Projects explains the top-level boundary for repositories, domains, specs, and releases.
  • Forage shows how to submit and triage product signals.
  • Specs covers proposals, revisions, comments, and review requests.
  • Postmortems explains how to publish an incident account and track its follow-up work.
  • Drops explains how to follow shipped improvements.

If you operate Hive for your organization, start with Install Hive, then configure authentication and review authorization.
