What it does
Kanboard is free and open-source Kanban project-management software. It focuses on boards, drag-and-drop tasks, work-in-progress limits, subtasks, task search, comments, and automatic actions.
Create projects and move tasks between columns; add assignees, due dates, subtasks, comments, and attachments. WIP limits and filters keep work visible. Official documentation covers administration, plugins, and APIs. The project repository states it is in maintenance mode, so assess current release and security needs. See the Kanboard home and docs.
