Kanban board view in a sample project with swimlanes grouped by assignee

Features

Everything a real team board needs.

Drag & drop

Native HTML5 implementation, no external JavaScript library. Status changes are stored as a standard Redmine journal entry.

WIP limits

Configurable per column. Visual warning as soon as the limit is exceeded – without blocking Redmine users.

Swimlanes

Horizontal grouping by assignee, tracker, priority, target version or category. Switchable at any time.

Query-driven card source

Any saved Redmine query becomes the board's input set. Complex filters without a separate query language inside the plugin.

Sprint filter

Every open Redmine target version is a sprint. The filter scopes the board to a single sprint; a status strip shows progress and time remaining – green, amber or red.

Backlog & sprint planning

A dedicated backlog page lists every ticket without a sprint. Assign each one to an open sprint via a per-row dropdown, no need to open tickets one by one.

Drag-and-drop assignment

In assignee swimlane mode, every project member gets their own lane plus a Backlog lane on top. Dragging a card means assigning – with full workflow checks.

Workflow-aware

Status transitions respect the workflow permissions and roles defined in Redmine. No bypassing of governance.

Separate permissions

Viewing, editing issues on the board and managing board settings are three independent rights.

Requirements

Runs on any regular Redmine 5 or 6.

Installation

cd /path/to/redmine
unzip at_kanbanboard-1.4.0.zip -d plugins/
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=at_kanbanboard RAILS_ENV=production
# restart Redmine

Enable the Kanban Board module in the project settings, grant roles the appropriate permissions, done.

Licence

GPLv2. Open source. Transparent.

Redmine itself is GPLv2 – every plugin that loads into Redmine at runtime must be as well. You get the full source, no activation servers and no hidden telemetry.

The price buys verified releases, twelve months of updates and direct support from the development team – not access to the code.
