Leantime is an open-source project management platform designed to track tasks, milestones, and workflows using Kanban boards and Gantt charts. It functions as a strategic planning tool that links daily operational tasks to high-level business goals and long-term objectives, while also serving as a time tracking and billing system for managing work hours and client estimations.
The platform differentiates itself through an integrated AI-powered project assistant that decomposes complex tasks, generates status reports, and provides project insights. It further distinguishes its offering with a self-hosted knowledge base for centralizing project wikis and internal notes, as well as strategic alignment tools for mapping outcomes to activities through a theory of change.
The system covers a broad range of capabilities, including agile team collaboration, enterprise identity management via LDAP and OIDC, and project portfolio coordination across different business units. It also provides visual brainstorming tools like mind maps and wireframes, role-based access control for external client collaboration, and an extensibility model based on a plugin marketplace.
The software supports S3-compatible object storage for project files and provides managed project infrastructure options.
