Let's be honest... tracking the work is not as satisfying as doing it.
And that's why we do it differently.
Work meets Personal Organization
Leantime focuses on the individual organization because it’s the most important piece to motivating, engaging, and supporting people in making an impact and knowing what to focus on.
You can now customize this board, move, select and resize widgets.
Time block your work to the calendar so you can see what you’re working on clearly and when.
Import your external calendar and align those tasks with your meetings and other events.
Notes is now a widget for your My Work dashboard or as it’s own tab on the navigation. In either view, you can save your important links, edit immediately, or even create a personal checklist.
AI prioritization takes how you feel about the work and uses best practices across three productivity methods and organizes your tasks due in the coming week.
Import any external calendar that offers an iCal URL. You can find this available via Google Calendar, Apple, Outlook and more.
Making great things requires a direction and a plan
Setting a direction and creating a plan to get there makes the actual work execution go smoother and is more easily communicated. Often times, though, tools rely on us to create and communicate those plans. In Leantime, we incorporate a manageable version of the high level strategy and plans needed to support the path to creating epic things.
From Vision to Execution
When up to 90% of strategic initiatives failing and team engagement falling year over year, it’s time we bring back the why of what we’re doing.
With our company level strategy & goal management, you can now share relevant strategies with the team and create long term clarity on what’s being worked towards.
Staying on Focus through Strategic Anchors
We’re automatically creating focus areas for you based on common practices but these can be changed and updated to your specific focus areas and then aligned to your goals at the high level.
Strategic Goals that connect to the Project Goals
Report goal data back up to the strategy level in real time when you update those goals at the project level. Here you have the ability to link to projects and report, link only or keep this a high level goal only.
Define your Strategy
Along with Blueprints at the project level, you can also use our pre-defined strategy focused boards to map out and define the strategies & vision you’re creating for the work.
Using AI in Project Management to Keep Focus
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been life changing for the world of generative text creation. We see this as only the beginning of what AI can do to support people in our efforts to be more productive and to accomplish great things. In Leantime, you’ll see that we use AI to also make work more engaging, personal, and easier.
Using AI to make Work Engaging
Features to keep you focused on the big picture
Recently released, our AI now prioritizes tasks using three science based productivity practices. As you complete more tasks, you can begin to privately rate how you feel about those tasks and the AI will take how you feel into consideration for that priority.
It’s hard to feel ownership or involved on a project when the project description can be overwhelming, hard to read, or just not relate to your role.
AI Story time is about bringing you into the project work. Our AI creates individual focused stories in unique voices and presents the project in a new light.
If you’re one to compile regular status reports, L.E.O. (our AI) will help you do that. Set the timeframe that you need updates from the team and the AI will collect that information from the teams and pull it all together for you.
AI Status reports will take the updates from the team and build a detailed report that can be edited and sent directly to the folks needing an overview of the current progress. Image coming soon.
Create a main task and ask L.E.O (our AI) to break down that task into the necessary subtasks needed to get it all done. And then watch him jump on his unicorn and fly away while you wait.
*These features are currently unavailable in open source version.
A free work management tool - open source or cloud
Our free core work management plan offers the same features as our open source version. Learn more about our open source solutions and offerings along with the features we offer below.
Think & Make
core features across open source and free cloud plan
For task management in a project, you get your choice of Kanban, Table or a List view.
Manage your subtasks and dependencies as well.
Welcome to our Timeline (Milestone) view.
Milestones, In Leantime, are groups of tasks bundled together with a date so you can view them on a timeline (gantt chart).
Get an even higher level view when you view the timeline on our Program Plan overview.
Create some definition. Why are we doing what we’re doing? Who is it for? What should it look like?
The blueprint boards allow you to do your research, validating, tracking and analysis even at the project level.
Looking to better understand how the team is working? Our reports allow you to see how the hours are all coming together.
You need more than a Kanban to keep track of what you’re building and that’s why we have Docs.
Embed outside documents and work with external teams or keep tracking of what you need internally.
Retrospectives are an opportunity to reflect on the work that we’ve recently accomplished and give the team room to discuss what worked well, what didn’t, and what needs to change.
You need ideas to take you to the next level but it’s easy to lose track of them.
Track ideas easily here and in the near future, link them to the to dos and work being done.
If you need to get better at estimating work or if you’re going to send hourly billables to a client, you need to be able to track your time with our Timesheets.
Track directly on the To Do when you start work, edit and approve hours. In the future, we’ll have plugins to allow you to connect to Quickbooks and other accounting platforms.
*The features in the Think and Make sections are all available in open source.
