Plane

Open-source project management for modern product teams.

Plane is an open-source take on the kind of issue tracking software teams associate with tools like Jira or Linear, built around issues, cycles, and modules rather than generic boards. Being open-source means teams get control over hosting and data rather than depending entirely on a vendor, while the day-to-day experience still feels modern rather than like a compromise for choosing the open-source option. Cycles and modules give it enough structure for iteration-based work, and it integrates with GitHub and Slack, covering the essentials of a software team's existing workflow.

It's aimed at small and mid-size software teams that want modern issue tracking with open-source ownership.
