What it is

Plane is a web-based project management tool for tracking work items, planning time-boxed cycles with burn-down charts, and splitting large projects into modules. It also includes saved filtered views, a rich-text Pages editor for notes and specs, and analytics across projects. Software and product teams can run it on their own servers with Docker or Kubernetes, or use the hosted cloud version.
