Leantime is a righteous open-source project management system with a fresh approach, making it accessible for folks who aren’t hardcore project managers. Designed with ADHD, Autism, and dyslexia in mind, it combines high-level strategy, planning, and execution all in one place. Think of it as the love child of Trello and Jira—easy like Sunday morning but packed with power under the hood. Imagine a tool that marries the simplicity of Trello’s Kanban boards with the robust features of Jira. Leantime isn’t just an alternative to big wig systems like ClickUp, Monday, or Asana. It’s got a heartbeat of its own. Need kanban boards? Got 'em. Gantt charts? Absolutely. How about task lists, calendar views, project dashboards, and wicked reporting? Check, check, and check. But let’s talk features because Leantime isn't just a pretty interface. It's got some serious game. Beyond task management, you’ll find project planning tools, info and knowledge management, and full-blown administration capabilities. We’re talking unlimited subtasks, dependencies, goals, metrics tracking, idea boards, and milestones. Toss in lean and business model canvases, retrospectives, SWOT analysis, and you're cooking with gas. For those security-conscious folks, Leantime's got two-factor authentication and risk analysis features. Plus, integration with Slack, Mattermost, and Discord means you can keep your whole team in the loop without breaking a sweat. It even supports over 20 languages, which is perfecto for global teams. Installation? Easy peasy. Whether you’re rolling old school with local installs or going slick with Docker, Leantime's got you covered. The local setup involves your typical fare—download, set up a MySQL database, and point your domain. Docker users will appreciate the officially supported Docker image, which makes it a breeze to get up and running. Even updating Leantime is a cinch. You can go the manual route, use the CLI, or handle it via Docker setups. Whichever path you choose, just back up your goodies beforehand, and you’re golden. If self-hosting gives you the cold sweats, Leantime offers managed hosting plans, so you can let the pros handle all the nerdy stuff while you focus on doing what you do best—crushing it on your projects. Leantime invites collaboration. Spot a bug? Hack away and submit a pull request. Got cool new feature ideas? Holler at them on Discord. Their community thrives on shared knowledge, DIY spirit, and good old-fashioned tinkering. So, if you're on the hunt for a project management solution that's as user-friendly as Trello but crammed with features like Jira, give Leantime a try. It’s project management made for the rest of us, one milestone at a time.
