Coco Kanban — Features

Coco Kanban is a complete, self-hosted project and work management platform. It gives your team projects, cycles (sprints), work items, and views — plus a deep set of premium capabilities for planning, reporting, automation, and AI.

This page is the tour. For how to use each area day to day, see the User Guide. For what's included in each plan, see Pricing.

Core work management

Everything you need to plan and track work, included in every plan:

  • Projects — organise work into projects, each with its own members, states, labels, and settings.
  • Work items — tasks, bugs, and stories with descriptions, assignees, priorities, due dates, sub-items, and comments.
  • Cycles — time-boxed sprints to focus a team on a set of work.
  • Modules — group related work items into deliverables within a project.
  • Views — save filtered, sorted, grouped slices of your work (kanban board, list, spreadsheet, calendar, timeline).
  • Pages — rich documents for notes, specs, and knowledge, linked to your work.
  • Members & roles — invite people as admins, members or guests.
  • Analytics — built-in charts on work, states, and progress.

Highlighted premium features

AI & automation

  • AI Agent — ask questions and take action over your workspace in plain language ("what's overdue in Mobile App?", "create a bug in Payments"). It can read and, with your approval, act. It also suggests fields when you create a work item.
  • Proactive AI — surfaces what needs attention without being asked: overdue, stale, unassigned work and sprint-health signals, delivered as scheduled briefings.
  • AI Sprint Planner — helps plan a cycle by suggesting scope and balance.
  • Connect to Claude — connect your workspace to Claude (or any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol) and manage work by chatting. See Connecting Claude & AI.
  • Duplicate Scanner — flags likely-duplicate work items as you create them.
  • Workflow Automation — rule-based "when X, do Y" automation across your work.

Planning & delivery

  • Goals & OKRs — define objectives and key results and track them against real work.
  • Reports — advanced analytics dashboards over cycles, issues, states, and assignees, beyond the built-in charts.
  • Time Tracking — log time against work items and review timesheets.
  • Dependencies — model blocks / blocked-by relationships between work items.
  • Custom Fields — add your own fields to work items and set them per issue.
  • Issue Templates — pre-filled work items for repeatable processes.
  • Project Templates — spin up new projects from reusable blueprints.
  • Bulk Operations — multi-select work items and change state, priority, assignees, or labels — or archive/delete — in one go.
  • Active Cycles — one cross-project view of every running cycle in the workspace.

Collaboration & sharing

  • Teams — send work-item notifications into your Microsoft Teams channels.
  • Shared Views — share saved views with specific members and see what's been shared with you.
  • Publish Center — publish views and pages to public, shareable links.
  • Public Roadmap — expose a public product roadmap to your customers.
  • Intake Forms — public forms that turn submissions (even anonymous ones) into work items — great for bug reports and feature requests.
  • Scheduled Digests — recurring summaries posted to Slack or Teams.
  • Command Center — a single hub combining Proactive AI, Sprint Planner, and Scheduled Digests.

Integrations

  • GitHub & Bitbucket — link work items to repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests.
  • Slack — work-item notifications in your Slack channels.
  • Microsoft Teams — work-item notifications in Teams.
  • Import from Jira — migrate projects, issues, epics, labels, and states across.

See the integrations overview for how to set each one up.

For developers

  • REST API — everything you can do in the UI, you can do over the API.
  • Connect Claude & AI — the AI connection uses the open Model Context Protocol, so it works with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP tools.

Yours, run for you

  • Your own dedicated instance — your own database, your own workspace. Not a shared tenant.
  • Nothing to install or maintain — provisioning, upgrades, backups, security and scaling are handled for you. See Getting set up.
  • Or run it yourself — for data-residency or compliance needs. Talk to us.
