REDMINE PLUGIN

WS Redmine Kanban

Work with Redmine issues on a visual Kanban board with status columns, drag-and-drop cards and configurable work-in-progress limits.

What it makes possible.

Redmine teams that want a board view for daily planning and issue updates.

Use the board to review current work, narrow it to an assignee or tracker, and update the underlying Redmine issues during a team planning session.

Inside the project.

  • Display a project’s issues in columns tied to Redmine statuses.
  • Move cards between columns using bundled SortableJS drag and drop.
  • Configure column work-in-progress limits and reject board moves when a target is full.
  • Group cards into collapsible swimlanes and filter by issue properties or search text.
  • Create issues inline and configure which fields appear on cards.
  • Open issue details to update fields, add notes and log time without leaving the board.

Getting started.

  1. The registration file requires Redmine 5.0 or later; README compatibility language references 5.x and 6.x, without a verified test matrix.
  2. The documented installation pattern places the source in plugins/redmine_agile_kanban, runs bundle install and Redmine plugin migrations, then restarts Redmine.
  3. Enable the Kanban project module and assign board-view, board-management and issue-move permissions.
  4. Open the project’s Kanban menu and configure statuses, WIP limits, swimlanes and card fields.
