## What it is
Kanboard is a free, open-source, self-hosted Kanban project management web application written in PHP. It focuses on simplicity and minimalism, offering drag-and-drop task boards, WIP limits, search filters, subtasks, comments, and automated actions.

## Use cases
- self-host a kanban board for my team
- manage agile projects with drag-and-drop tasks
- limit work in progress on a task board
- automate repetitive task management actions
- track tasks and subtasks with comments and attachments
- simple lightweight alternative to Trello or Jira

## When to choose
- you want a simple, minimal, self-hosted kanban tool with no training required
- you need automated workflow actions and a simple query language for filtering tasks
- you prefer lightweight PHP software deployable via Docker with an API and plugin system

## When to avoid
- you need actively developed new features, since the project is in maintenance mode
- you require a modern UI or advanced project management features like Gantt charts or sprints
- you want a managed cloud solution rather than self-hosting
