Burndown
Burndown is an agile project management tool for Drupal that supports kanban and sprint-based projects with customizable task sizing. It offers a drag-and-drop interface and features like backlogs, swimlanes, task relationships, and work logging.
Burndown is a Drupal native, agile project management tool. It provides support for both kanban and sprint-based projects and several forms of task-size estimation. It is designed for flexibility and extensibility, but it has sensible defaults in place: just turn it on, navigate to the Burndown dashboard from your menu, and start adding projects!
Core Features
- Drag and drop interface.
- Kanban and Sprint-base projects.
- Estimate based on T-shirt, geometric, or dot sizing.
- Customizable board columns per project.
- Backlog and completed boards per project.
- Projects and Tasks support fieldable entity bundles, so you can easily extend them.
- Relationships between Tasks (blocked by, child of, etc).
- Task work log and commenting.
- Attach links and images to tasks.
- "Cloud" project sidebar block, to easily find projects.
- Simple sidebar navigation block to navigate within a project.
- Email notifications on changes (optionally, you may want to use SMTP if the volume of emails will be large).
- Robust permission options with per Project granularity.
- Large library of Drush commands.
Submodule: Time Tracker
The optional submodule allows timer tracking and reporting at the Task level.
- Easy start and stop task timer.
- Report showing hours summary for the current user.
- Time managers can see hours logged for any user.
- Time managers can manage running timers.
Requirements
Burndown is designed to leverage the new built-in functionality of modern Drupal. It has no additional external dependencies.
Installation Steps
- composer require drupal/burndown
- Enable the Burndown module
- Depending on your theme, you may want to add the "Projects" and "Burndown Sidebar" blocks to a sidebar region. These are added by default in the Bartik theme. They are both optional, but make navigation a bit easier.
- Go to the Burndown dashboard (in your top menu) and start adding projects and tasks.
