Project management that people actually want to use. Taking a big picture view on the experience we have in working, Leantime steps away from the traditional approaches of task management and seeks to solve a bigger issue: How do we stay engaged and consistent with the purpose and value of our work? Adoption of PM tools is often cumbersome and most people have a love-hate relationship with their tools. By incorporating AI and principles of neuroscience & behavioral science, Leantime works to make the work that a user is doing personal, easy (don't have to figure out workflows), goal focused and engaging. Some of our features include: - Kanban, List, & Table views for To Dos - Subtasks & Dependencies with a visual Kanban overview - Goals - Idea Management - Milestones - Strategy Boards (SWOT, Business Model Canvas, Lean, +more) - High level strategic one pager - Timesheets and time tracking - Reports & Analytics - Retrospectives / Project reviews - Portfolio overview - Document & File management - ADHD friendly & inclusive reading themes - And more Now available in cloud: AI Beta (reach out if interested!) Program Management Strategy Management 2.0 Leantime went open source in 2019 and has grown to one of the top open source project management systems (and the prettiest one, according to our users!) with over 50,000 downloads and an active discord & open source community. Leantime has been part of the AWS Impact Accelerator Latino Founders Cohort 2023, an NC IDEA MICRO grant recipient, a NC IDEA Seed semi-finalist, a RIoT accelerator participant, a NC Tech Top 10 NC Tech Startups to Watch in 2023, and is a Techstars portfolio company.
