At the Good Project Award 2026 hosted by New Lab Inc., three projects—NTT West Japan, Naka Den C.T.I., and Yasak Construction Industries—were chosen for the Excellence Award. The selected projects aim to achieve municipal DX using Backlog and improve operational efficiency in the construction industry. The final pitch will take place on November 28, 2026, at the Backlog World 2026 event held at Pacifico Yokohama.
In a management task survey conducted by NuLab Inc., 72.5% of 1,100 managers reported spending more than half of their work hours on actual tasks. The survey results highlighted that managers most want to delegate tasks such as creating minutes, sending reminders, and consolidating information.
NuLab will hold the online conference "PROGRESS Leaders Festival by Backlog 2026" for leaders managing teams, free of charge, on December 10, 2026. Management experts, companies using Backlog, and NuLab employees will share practical examples and ways to overcome challenges regarding delegation, progress checks, and AI utilization.
JBUG will hold the event "Backlog World 2026", aimed at people involved in project management, at Pacifico Yokohama on Saturday, November 28. The theme is "The Compass of Indigo", and through talks, user presentations, and workshops, we will share insights that can be applied in project practice. Registration is accepted via a dedicated website, and early‑bird tickets are on sale until Saturday, October 31.
The Digital Promotion Group of Yasak Construction Industry introduced Backlog to eliminate the effort required to confirm different work methods for each project and to review past chat interactions and response histories. They are using it for task requests and progress management, visualizing responsibilities and progress status. To expand usage, they also created a dedicated onboarding project.
Nulab has launched its “Your Whole Team Starts at ¥0” campaign to help organizations switch to Backlog. Business customers who apply by October 31, 2026, can use the service free of charge from the start of their contract through March 31, 2027. The campaign is for businesses currently using another tool; applicants must apply by October 31, 2026, and sign up for a paid plan by December 31, 2026. The free period is up to six months, with standard fees beginning in April 2027.
Nulab Inc. launched a free tool to help migrate data from Jooto to Backlog. It simplifies the transfer of tasks, comments, attachments, and other data, and has been available since August 31, 2026.
Nulab Inc. announced the judges for the Good Project Award 2026. They include the editor-in-chief of Lifehacker Japan and a representative of Kintetsu Group Holdings, whose project won last year’s top prize. Entries are open through October 9.
Nulab Inc. launched “Cross-Project Gantt Chart” on September 24, 2026. It lets users view the progress of multiple projects and team members' workloads on one screen, making it easier to track project progress and schedules.
Toshiba Digital Marketing Initiative, which adopted Backlog provided by Nulab Inc., shortened webinar planning and preparation from two months to one. It made about 100 tasks into reusable templates, streamlining operations for future events.
