About Kanboard

Kanboard is a deliberately simple, self-hosted Kanban application for visualizing work and limiting work in progress. Tasks move by drag and drop across boards you can rename and reshape, with subtasks, attachments, comments, Markdown descriptions, search filters and automatic actions triggered by events. It supports LDAP and OAuth2 sign-in, ships in more than thirty languages, and is MIT licensed.
