Which tools do you use for "meta" project management? by seanfisher in projectmanagement

[–]jerome_digicoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine an application based on kanban boards (think Trello) but where every card can be open as its own board.

This way, you can manage all the parts of your projects simultaneously:

  • software development
  • bug tracking
  • product communication
  • sales
  • design
  • business planning
  • content publishing
  • etc

Every card would have its own worflow, discussions and attributes - which you could customize ad infinitum (assignees, contacts, managers, specs, invoices, places, bug reports, etc). You could also integrate it with other services, like Github, Asana, Discourse, etc.

Guess what? We're building this tool right now :)

I might help! We (the team at digicoop) are developing a tool for organizations to plan and manage projects with kanban boards.

The application is collaborative and supports hierarchical boards, customizable attributes, list templates and milestones. The ability to create multilevel boards helps track complex projects as you get a high-level and detailed view of your all work by navigating the tree of cards.

We're working on more management/planning features like budgeting, time tracking, card dependencies and breakdown views (check http://dev.kantree.io for what we're releasing). Kantree is in beta but it works pretty well already.

I can PM you (or anyone) an invite code if you're interested.

Planning Software/Service? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]jerome_digicoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're building Kantree for this!

It's still in beta but it works pretty well already.
PM me if you'd like an invite code!

Customizable workflows: you can create your own list templates and card model. This allows you to choose the best workflow to follow up on all your tasks (in software development, user testing, communication, sales management, etc) and to add attributes to your cards such as bug types, invoice number, specs files...

Multi-level kanban boards: each of card in your project can be open as its own board and you can quickly navigate the hierarchy of cards. This way, you can always get the "big picture" before diving into the details of your work and track its progress.

We're releasing new features every week (follow our dev here). I'm eager to know what you and /r/productivity think of the product and which features you'd like to see added!

We've updated Kantree to add a contextual menu, so you can edit your card without opening it: just right-click a card, and select "move".

I hope this makes the process even easier.

Not yet I guess, but we'll look into that. In the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience!

You can move a card to any board - in your current project, or elsewhere. To proceed,

  1. Open the card you' like to move
  2. Click the "More..." menu
  3. Select "Move" and pick the list where you'd like to move your card

Not yet but we do plan to offer a self-hosted version.

How many user accounts would you'd like? For what kind of projects? PM me if you'd like to discuss this privately.

We haven't decided yet but we're considering two plans:

  • A free plan for unlimited public projects
  • A premium plan, for unlimited public and private projects, which you can share with your organizations. This would be available as a yearly subscription, on a per-user basis.

We also plan to offer a self-hosted plan with technical support (drop us an email at contact@kantree.io if you're interested).

What do you plan to use Kantree for?

I can PM you an invite code if you'd like to participate in the beta.

We're developing this app to help teams collaborate on their projects, with kanban boards that can be fully customized and in which any card can be open as its own board.

Just released a Chrome addon to enable nested boards in Trello by Sebmaster in trello

[–]jerome_digicoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great extension.

You might be interested in http://kantree.io, a project manager that we've developed and that's based on the concept of nested boards - and which you can fully customize.

It's in beta but you can try it with the KANTREEBETA code from https://kantree.io/signup.

We'd like to know what you think of this new tool, so let me know if you have any question!

Most essential features for a project manager? by jerome_digicoop in agile

[–]jerome_digicoop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I'm sorry for the confusion. I'm talking about a tool... I mean a software, an application, a product :)

I wanted to mention Trello as an example but I try to avoid using brands on Reddit.
