Kanboard

Kanboard is a lightweight project management application built around the Kanban method. It helps teams visualize work, limit work-in-progress, and collaborate on tasks using configurable boards, swimlanes, and automation.

Key Features

• Kanban boards with configurable columns, swimlanes, and WIP limits
• Tasks with due dates, attachments, comments, subtasks, checklists, and recurring tasks
• User roles and project permissions; multi-project support
• Built-in analytics and reporting (e.g., cumulative flow/lead & cycle time views)
• Email integration (notifications and “email to task” workflows) and activity stream
• Automation rules and triggers; webhooks for event-driven integrations
• Plugin architecture for extending features and connecting external services
• Public and private project sharing options and task duplication/templates

Use Cases

• Manage software development or ops work with WIP limits and swimlanes
• Run editorial/content pipelines (ideas → drafting → review → published)
• Track personal or small-team projects needing a simple, fast Kanban tool

Limitations and Considerations

• UI and feature set are intentionally minimal compared to large enterprise suites; advanced portfolio planning may require plugins or external tools

Kanboard focuses on speed, simplicity, and a clear Kanban workflow while still providing the essentials for collaboration and integrations. Its extensibility via plugins and webhooks makes it suitable for teams that want a compact core with optional add-ons.
