Sign Up

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.
