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.
