WeKan

WeKan is a web-based Kanban board application for managing tasks and workflows using boards, lists, and cards. It is commonly used as a self-managed alternative to Trello for teams that want data control and flexible workflow features.

Key Features

• Kanban boards with lists and draggable cards
• Swimlanes to organize work in parallel tracks (e.g., by team/member)
• WIP (Work In Progress) limits per list/swimlane
• Rich card details: descriptions, checklists, due dates, labels, attachments, comments, and activity history
• User and permission management for boards
• Search and filtering to find cards across boards
• Import/migration options (commonly used for Trello-style workflows)
• Notifications and @mentions (where supported by deployment/config)

Use Cases

• Team project management (product, engineering, operations) using Kanban
• Personal or small-team task tracking with lightweight boards
• Visualizing support/maintenance workflows (backlog → in progress → done)

Limitations and Considerations

• Primarily focused on Kanban; it is not a full suite for docs/roadmaps like Notion/Jira
• Feature availability can vary by deployment method and version; review the current release notes/docs for specifics

WeKan is a practical choice for organizations that want a straightforward, Trello-style Kanban experience with swimlanes and WIP limits. It fits well for day-to-day task management and visual workflow tracking across many types of teams.
