We built Plane ✈️ Open Source Project Management Tool (Next.js + Django)

Plane GitHub Repo

Story behind Plane

Plane is an open-source project management tool designed to help teams from different domains including engineering, marketing, product, and design to collaborate and manage their projects more efficiently. It is an alternative to expensive and opinionated tools such as JIRA, Trello, OpenProject, etc. that often come with steep learning curves and may not be suitable for every team's unique needs.

Plane Views

Plane allows users to start with a basic task tracking tool and gradually adopt various project management frameworks like Agile, Waterfall, and many more.

Setting-up Plane

Setting up the Plane server is a breeze! You can easily do it by running a simple command using docker-compose from your terminal. Whether you prefer working on your local machine or cloud provider, Plane server is packaged as a Docker container.

git clone https://github.com/makeplane/plane
cd plane
./setup.sh localhost
docker-compose up
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Plane is also on DockerHub and can be installed with single command, read our docs to learn more.
