Workban

Roadmap

What comes next, and what deliberately does not.

Workban grows in small releases. The list has no dates and no order. Whatever is done is in the changelog.

Planned

On the list.

These points are decided but not built yet. Until they show up in the changelog, they do not exist.

  • Several workspaces per person, with switching in the app
  • Notifications by email and Slack on feedback and status changes
  • Full-text search across descriptions and comments
  • The Done window adjustable per workspace, fixed at seven days today
  • Webhooks, so other systems can react to status changes
  • GitHub: the pull request on the task, the status from the merge
  • workban board --watch in the terminal
  • Email confirmation at sign-up

Reached

How Workban got here.

Selected steps. Every version with all its changes is in the changelog.

  1. Board with live updates, personal tokens and the first CLI
  2. First version, the dashboard hangs in the officev0.1.0
  3. The CLI as a single program, without Nodev0.8.0
  4. On Hold column for tasks waiting on someonev0.11.0
  5. Estimated AI cost per task, from the measured tokensv0.12.0
  6. The gate counts per agent sessionv0.24.0
  7. Dashboards with up to eight pages and their own linkv0.29.0
  8. Platform administration, with every action loggedv0.32.0

Deliberately not

What will not come.

Workban stays a board that nearly keeps itself. Anything that would need upkeep for that stays out.

Sprints and story points
No sprints, no story points, no velocity or burndown chart.
Time tracking
No stopwatch. Times come from the status changes.
Custom workflows
The five columns and the four roles are fixed.
Permissions per project
Everyone in the workspace sees every project, and the board is the same for all.
Code review
That stays in the pull request. Workban is the overview, not the source of code.
MCP server
Agents use the CLI and the REST API, one path for all.
Media on dashboards
No schedules by time of day, no images or videos of your own. That is a job for a signage system.

Get started

Try it with your next task.

Workban is free. Your workspace is ready in a minute, and the first task appears as soon as your agent gets going. The app itself speaks German for now.
