Leantime

Leantime is an open-source project management system that stands out by being designed specifically for non-project managers. Unlike complex enterprise tools that require extensive training and PM certifications, Leantime provides powerful project coordination capabilities with an intuitive interface that anyone can use effectively. The platform combines strategic planning, task management, and team collaboration into a cohesive system that helps small teams and startups organize their work without getting lost in excessive features or rigid methodologies. With support for multiple project views, time tracking, and unique strategic planning tools, Leantime adapts to how real teams actually work rather than forcing artificial workflows. Available in over 20 languages with active community development, it has become a popular choice for organizations seeking self-hosted project management that respects user privacy and provides complete data ownership.

Common Use Cases

Startups and small businesses use Leantime to coordinate product development, track feature requests, and align daily tasks with strategic business goals using the built-in Lean Canvas and goal-setting tools. Marketing teams leverage the Kanban boards and timeline views to manage campaigns, content calendars, and creative projects with clear visibility into deadlines and dependencies. Development teams organize sprints, track bugs, and manage releases using the milestone and task management features while logging time for accurate project billing. Consulting firms and agencies deploy Leantime to manage multiple client projects simultaneously, using timesheets for billing and the strategic planning tools to help clients define and achieve their objectives.
