About Kanboard

Kanboard is free, open-source Kanban project management software that you install on your own server. Its feature set is deliberately limited: boards with columns you can add, rename and remove, drag-and-drop tasks, and work-in-progress limits that highlight a column when it is over the limit.

Tasks can hold subtasks, time or complexity estimates, Markdown descriptions, comments, attachments, categories, assignees and due dates. A simple query language lets you search and filter the board by assignee, description, category, due date and more.

Strengths

  • Simple installation on your own server
  • Work-in-progress limits per column
  • Query language for searching and filtering tasks
  • Subtasks, estimates, Markdown and attachments on tasks

Limitations

  • Plain interface with a deliberately limited feature set
  • You have to host and maintain it yourself
