Key features
KanbanFlow
- Kanban board with WIP limits
- Columns are customized to match a workflow, and each can carry a limit on how many tasks it holds. Subtasks are checked off directly on the board.
- Pomodoro and stopwatch timers
- Time is tracked on a task with a Pomodoro timer or a plain stopwatch, or logged by hand. The time spent report filters and groups the logged time.
- Swimlanes and relations
- Premium boards can be split into horizontal swimlanes, and tasks can be related to one another across boards, for example to a portfolio board.
- Timeline view
- A Premium timeline, labeled Timeline / Gantt, spreads tasks across days so they can be dragged or resized to adjust the plan.
- Analytics and forecasting
- Premium adds cumulative flow, burndown, throughput and cycle and lead time charts, plus Monte Carlo forecasting of future outcomes.
- API and integrations
- Premium includes a REST API with webhooks, Zapier, adding tasks by email, a calendar feed, and file attachments from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box.
