Kanbanz

Kanbanz brings project and task management directly into your WordPress admin. Create a board for any workflow — software development, marketing campaigns, HR onboarding, client work, internal to-dos — and move work across columns by dragging cards.

Everything lives in your own database as standard WordPress content. There is no external service, no account to create, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Boards that match how your team works

• Unlimited boards and tasks
• Drag-and-drop cards between columns, with drag-to-reorder inside a column
• Rename, add, reorder and delete columns per board
• WIP limits per column to stop work piling up
• Start from a template — Customer Support, Software Development, Marketing Campaign, HR Onboarding, or a blank board
• Board view or list view, switchable per user
• Light and dark theme

Task detail that avoids the spreadsheet

• Subtasks with progress indicators
• Custom colour-coded labels
• Priority levels and due dates, with overdue highlighting
• File attachments through the WordPress Media Library
• Task comments with @mentions
• Per-task activity log showing who changed what, and when
• Full-text search plus filters for assignee, priority, due date and overdue state

Permissions built for real teams

Kanbanz adds two roles — Kanban Manager and Kanban Staff — and administrators and editors inherit access automatically.

• Assign tasks to any staff member, with role badges shown in the picker
• Boards are open to all staff until you add team members; then only the team can see them. Anyone assigned a task on a team board joins its team automatically
• Optionally restrict who may move a task into the final column, so “Completed” means something
• Per-board manager assignment

Notifications

• In-admin notification bell for task assignments, @mentions and new comments on your tasks
• Optional email notifications via wp_mail(), with separate toggles for assignments and for comments/@mentions

Works with Deskuss (optional)

If the Deskuss helpdesk plugin is active, Kanbanz can mirror support departments as boards and keep tickets and tasks in sync. Kanbanz is a complete, standalone kanban plugin without it — Deskuss is never required.

Built to stay out of the way

Kanbanz is an admin-only plugin. Its scripts and styles are scoped to its own screens and never load on your public site, so there is no front-end performance cost for visitors.

Kanbanz Pro

A separate Pro add-on extends Kanbanz with My Tasks (a personal cross-board inbox), stopwatch time tracking, staff performance scorecards, task completion trend and burndown analytics, SLA rules and CSV exports. The free plugin is fully functional on its own and is not time-limited or feature-crippled.
