About Kanboard

Kanboard is project management software built around the Kanban method. Tasks are organized visually on boards, and the application is written in PHP, making it simple to host on a typical web server or in a Docker container. It is distributed under the MIT licence.

The maintainers state that the application is in maintenance mode. The main author is not actively building new major features and only makes small fixes, but new releases are still published regularly depending on community contributions, and pull requests for features and bug fixes are accepted when the contribution guidelines are followed. The project offers a website, feature list, change log, forum and official documentation.

Documentation covers requirements, installation, upgrades and using Kanboard with Docker. Because it is self-hosted and lightweight, it suits individuals and small teams who want a simple Kanban board under their control. Anyone expecting a rapidly evolving product with large new features should take the maintenance-mode status into account.
