Getting Started

New to Kanman? Start here to learn the basics and get up and running in minutes.

Welcome to Kanman! This section will help you get started with our visual project management tool. Whether you’re managing personal tasks, running a side project, or coordinating work across a team, Kanman provides a flexible and intuitive way to organize everything in one place.

What is Kanman?

Kanman is a visual project management tool designed to help you organize your work using a simple but powerful hierarchy: boards, projects, and tasks. Unlike complex project management software that requires extensive setup and training, Kanman focuses on getting out of your way so you can focus on what matters—getting things done.

Think of Kanman as your digital workspace where you can:

  • Create boards for different areas of your life or work—one for your day job, another for personal goals, and a third for that side hustle you’ve been nurturing
  • Organize tasks into projects to group related work together, making it easy to see progress at a glance and keep context intact
  • Track progress visually with status indicators, progress bars, and an optional Kanban view that lets you see your entire workflow
  • Collaborate with your team on shared workspaces where everyone stays aligned (available on Teams plans)
