Kanban Principles for Software Kanban is about flow: - Visualize work - Limit work in progress - Manage flow - Make policies explicit - Implement feedback loops - Improve collaboratively Simple.

Powerful. Perfect for continuous delivery.

Why Developer Kanban Is Different Generic Kanban boards miss developer context: Code State Matters: - Is it in a branch? - Is there a PR open?

- Is CI passing? - Is it deployed?

Task types matter: - Feature vs bug vs tech debt - Frontend vs backend vs full-stack - Quick fix vs multi-day effort Relationships matter: - Blocked by another task - Depends on external API - Waiting for code review GitScrum: Developer-Native Kanban 1. Visual Board with Code Context Columns show work state: - Backlog (not started) - In Progress (being coded) - In Review (PR open) - Done (merged + deployed) Each card shows: - Task title and description - Assignee avatar - Branch name (auto-linked) - PR status (open/merged) - Labels for type/priority 2.

WIP Limits That Work Set limits per column: - In Progress: Max 3 per developer - In Review: Max 5 total Column turns red when exceeded. Forces finishing before starting.

Reduces context switching. 3.

Git-Connected Flow Automatic transitions: - Create branch -> Move to In Progress - Open PR -> Move to Review - Merge PR -> Move to Done Manual drag still works. But code actions drive board state.

4. Flow Metrics Measure what matters: - Cycle time: How long from start to done - Lead time: How long from created to done - Throughput: How many completed per week - WIP age: How long items sit in progress Data-driven improvement.

5. Dark Mode Native Because developers live in dark mode.

Terminal is dark. VSCode is dark.

Board should be dark. Not a theme toggle.

Native experience. Kanban vs Scrum in GitScrum Kanban in GitScrum: - No sprints required - Continuous flow - WIP limits focus - Cycle time optimization - Pull when ready Scrum in GitScrum: - Time-boxed sprints - Sprint backlog commitment - Velocity tracking - Sprint ceremonies - Push at planning Both available.

Use what fits. Mix if needed (Scrumban).

For Teams That Ship Continuously Kanban works for: - Maintenance teams (bugs flow in continuously) - Support-driven development - DevOps and infrastructure - Teams tired of sprint pressure - Continuous deployment shops Kanban might not fit: - Teams needing predictable delivery dates - External stakeholders wanting sprint cadence - Organizations measuring velocity Pricing GitScrum Kanban: - 2 users FREE forever - Unlimited boards - WIP limits - Git integration - Flow metrics - Dark mode native - $8.90/user/month beyond 2 Kanban that flows like your code should.

The GitScrum Advantage

One unified platform to eliminate context switching and recover productive hours.

problem.identify()

The Problem

Generic Kanban - Tools designed for any team miss developer needs. No code context. No Git awareness. Generic cards for generic work.

Trello syndrome - Too simple. No WIP limits. No metrics. No automation. Stuck moving cards manually forever.

Jira complexity - Kanban buried under enterprise features. 15 clicks to configure a board. Admin certification needed.

No code connection - Board state disconnected from code state. Manual updates required. Double work.

Light mode hell - Most Kanban tools default to light mode. Eyes burn. Productivity drops. No native dark experience.

Expensive alternatives - Linear looks great but costs add up. Small teams priced out of good tools.

The Solution

Developer-native Kanban - Built for code workflows. Git awareness. Branch and PR status on every card. Developer context everywhere.

Powerful simplicity - WIP limits. Cycle time metrics. Automation. But clean interface. Power without complexity.

Zero config boards - Default columns that work. Customize if needed. No admin certification. Start in 30 seconds.

Git-connected flow - Branches auto-link. PR status shows on cards. Merge moves to done. Code drives board.

Dark mode native - Built dark-first. Not a toggle. Native experience for developers who live in terminals.

Free for small teams - 2 users FREE forever. Full Kanban. WIP limits. Metrics. Git integration. No compromise.

How It Works

Create Your Board

Start with default columns (Backlog, In Progress, Review, Done) or customize. Set WIP limits per column. Board ready in seconds.

Add Tasks and Pull

Create tasks in backlog. Pull into In Progress when ready. WIP limit prevents overloading. Focus on finishing, not starting.

Connect Your Code

Link GitHub/GitLab. Branches connect to tasks. PR status visible on cards. Code activity updates board automatically.

Flow and Improve

Monitor cycle time. See where work gets stuck. Adjust WIP limits. Continuous improvement from real flow data.

Kanban Boards

Kanban boards - Visual workflow. Drag cards. WIP limits. Cycle time tracking. Flow visualization for developers.

Git Integrations

Code-driven Kanban - Branch creates task link. PR status on cards. Merge completes task. Your board reflects your code.

Sprint Planning

Ship faster without the chaos. Drag-and-drop backlog prioritization, velocity tracking across iterations, and burndown charts that update as work gets done—not when someone remembers to update a spreadsheet. Your team always knows what's next, stakeholders see progress without asking, and {vertical} across {city} consistently hit their sprint commitments.

Time Tracking

Cycle time optimization - Track time from start to done. Identify bottlenecks. Improve flow with data.

Team Management

Junior devs shouldn't access client billing. Contractors shouldn't see other projects. Set granular permissions that match how {vertical} actually work—by role, project, or even specific boards. Invite freelancers in {city} with time-limited access, track who did what, and revoke credentials in one click.
