Redmine Agile / Kanban Board
AgileAgile boards that play by your Redmine rules. Turn your Redmine issues into Kanban and Scrum boards: the columns come from your own statuses, every move follows your workflow and permissions, and the reports show how work really flows.

Kanban boards
Columns built from your statuses in one click. Rename, reorder, recolour, hide, and map several statuses to one column.
Workflow-safe drag and drop
Mouse, touch and keyboard. Forbidden columns are greyed out; refused moves roll back with the reason.
WIP limits
Per column, set to warn or to block. Managers can override, and every breach is counted in the reports.
Swimlanes and views
Group by assignee, priority, tracker, version, category, parent or custom field. Save private or shared views.
Work without leaving the board
Quick issue creation, inline editing, comments and time logging, with Redmine’s validation and required fields.
Scrum, when you want it
Ranked backlog, sprint planning by drag and drop, goals, start and complete with carry-over, story points.
Flow reports
Throughput, cycle and lead time, cumulative flow, burndown and velocity. Table view and CSV export for every chart.
Private stays private
Redmine visibility everywhere: private issues, hidden custom fields and other projects never leak into a board.
Any screen, any user
Phone and tablet layouts, full keyboard support, screen-reader announcements, and no colour-only signals.
Your workflow decides
Built for teams who already live in Redmine. Nothing to import, nothing to sync. The board is a new way to look at, and move, the issues you have.
No core changes
A standard Redmine plugin. No extra gems, and no Node.js on the server.
Redmine’s own rules
Every move goes through Redmine’s own rules, as the signed-in user: workflow transitions, required and read-only fields, and permissions.
50 languages
Every language Redmine ships, using Redmine’s own terms for issues, trackers and statuses.
A closer look
Real screens from Redmine 7 with the plugin installed.
Drag a card. Redmine does the rest.
Moving a card to another column changes the issue’s status, exactly as if you had used the issue form. The status change is in the issue history and Redmine sends its usual notifications.
Every detail, one click away
Open a card to see the description, relations, subtasks, attachments and history. Edit fields, add a comment or log time without leaving the board, with only the options your role may use.
See the board the way you need it
Swimlanes group cards by assignee, priority, tracker, version, category, parent issue or a custom field; dragging a card to another lane changes that field. Filters are Redmine’s own issue filters, custom fields included.
Sprints without the ceremony
Rank the product backlog, drag issues into a sprint, and start it. The sprint board shows dates, days left, the goal and progress. When you complete a sprint, unfinished work moves on and the sprint’s figures are frozen for the reports.
Reports that answer real questions
How much do we finish each week? How long does work take once started? Where does it pile up? The flow and sprint reports use your issue history, so they work from day one, even for work done before the plugin was installed.
Set up in minutes, on any screen
A new board maps your statuses to columns automatically. Adjust columns, WIP limits, card fields, swimlanes and who may see the board on one settings page. On phones the board scrolls one column at a time.
Built to be trusted
Permissions on the server
Every endpoint checks Redmine permissions on the server, not only in the browser.
Session sign-in
CSRF protection and Redmine’s own session sign-in. No API keys.
Nothing leaks
Private issues, hidden fields and other projects never appear on a board.
Safe to uninstall
Uninstalling never deletes issues, journals or time entries; only the plugin’s own boards, sprints, views, ranks and story points are removed.
