ShotGrid Software was originally founded as Shotgun Software, by Don Parker and Isaac Reuben in 2006. They created it to build a project management tool for Disney's The Wild. Originally, the product focussed primarily on production tracking and later added more functionalities.[1][2]
The first version of Shotgun was released privately two weeks after the first code was written. Shotgun then spent three and a half years in private beta. The product was launched publicly in 2009 at SIGGRAPH.[1]
In June 2014, Shotgun was acquired by Autodesk.[3]
In 2017, Shotgun won an Engineering Emmy.[4]
In February 2020, Don Parker announced Sarah Hodges would be taking over as head of Shotgun.[5]
In February 2021, Don Parker and four other Shotgun employees were awarded Sci-Tech Oscars for the development of Shotgun in the Technical Achievement category.[6]
