What is Plane AI?

Plane is an open-source project management tool designed to help teams organise tasks, track progress, and collaborate on work. It provides a central hub for managing issues, sprints, and workflows without the complexity of enterprise-level software. The tool is built for software development teams and product organisations that want control over their infrastructure and data, since you can self-host it or use the cloud version. Plane focuses on simplifying how teams communicate about work, reducing the friction between planning tasks and actually getting them done.
