Welcome to the
Future of Project Management.

TMS project management modules were built for a waterfall world: rigid, linear, source-to-target flows. Blackbird replaces waterfall with flow — orchestrating projects across the tools you already use and love.

The Waterfall Problem

Traditional TMS project management modules force users into their own proprietary interfaces. They assume a rigid waterfall sequence: source files locked → translators assigned → reviewers queued → delivery at the end.

But content today doesn’t move in waterfalls. It moves in concurrent streams. Campaigns span multiple teams. Product, marketing, and localization departments all use their own project management tools. Forcing everyone into a TMS bottleneck slows things down.

Blackbird takes a different approach: orchestration, not lock-in. Instead of replacing your PM tools, it connects them. Workflows span across systems, letting every team stay in their preferred environment — while Blackbird keeps everything synchronized.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide an alternative to waterfall project management—embracing agnostic, vendor-neutral flows through dynamic, event-driven orchestration that adapts to how teams actually work.

Use the tools you love
Deep integrations with Asana, ClickUp, Notion, Airtable, Slack, Trello, Monday.com, Jira, Lark, Adobe Workfront — even spreadsheets like Google Sheets and Excel. See all apps >>
Cross-department orchestration
Marketing can work in Airtable, product in Jira, localization in Notion — and Blackbird keeps them all connected in real time.
Event-driven & concurrent
No more linear wait chains. Multiple steps — AI, translation, review, compliance checks — can run in parallel.
Freedom, not lock-in
Your workflows, your tools. Blackbird orchestrates, you decide where project ownership lives.

Orchestration, Not Waterfall.

Blackbird turns project management from rigid waterfall into adaptive flows.
Flows that connect teams, tools, humans, and AI into a single orchestrated system.
