If you haven’t already, create your Hivel account. It only takes a minute, and you’ll be ready to invite your teammates once you’re in.
Connect Your Tools
Hivel comes alive once it’s connected. If you’re the first user or an admin, you’ll be prompted to set up integrations with your SCM, any PM tools, AI tools, among others. Already integrated? Great you can skip ahead.

Let the Data Flow
Once integrations are set, Hivel starts pulling in your data. Depending on the size of your projects, it may take a little while. You don’t need to wait around - we’ll let you know when it’s ready.
Shape Your Teams
Now’s the time to set up teams and add users. Organizing things the way your company works makes the insights that follow much more meaningful.
In case teams have already been set up, you can go through your teams to get an idea of whether everyone is considered and it is set up properly.
Team & User Management FAQsDouble-Check Your Data
Trust in your data matters. Take a moment to cross-check Hivel’s numbers with what you see in your SCM and PM tool for starters. This quick validation helps you feel confident in the insights you’re looking at.

Adjust if Needed
Every workflow is different. If something doesn’t look quite right, you can tweak configurations until they feel just right. And if you’re stuck, we’re only a click away.
Please note: It’s very likely that another admin has already adjusted these configurations. We recommend checking in with your team before making any further changes.
Please note: Configuration changes do not impact past metrics in Hivel; they apply only to new data going forward. For consistency across all time periods, please reach out to us.
