PlanA
What PlanA is
PlanA is open-source Agile project management software for planning dependencies and tracking execution. Its dependency graph organizes work with epic containers and dependency connectors, and supports draft planning, validation, and drag-to-assign. An interactive Gantt chart adds dependency arrows, critical path highlighting, target date markers, zoom controls, and resource allocation. For team workflows, PlanA includes Kanban boards, sprint planning, velocity tracking, burndown charts, and capacity planning. Estimation Poker provides inline Fibonacci voting, live team votes, and an option for a project manager to lock an estimate.
PlanA supports 26 languages and is self-hosted. Docker Compose is available for development and production deployment, with Caddy for automatic HTTPS. Repository documentation describes GitHub and GitLab integrations, an OpenAPI 3.0 API, and outbound webhooks with signed delivery and retries. Sprint goal AI can use a bundled local Ollama model or Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and Azure OpenAI. The software is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and runs the same across tiers; paid plans add support rather than gated features. Community is free with unlimited users and GitHub issue support. Professional costs $149 a month, while Enterprise costs $499 a month.
