Open source tool Plane launches to take on Jira
Open source tool Plane launches to take on project management tools like Jira and Linear. Use it to create product roadmaps and manage development issues. It's available both as a SaaS cloud and a self-hosted option.

- Sprint is Cycles in a Plane which can be any custom period.
- Roadmaps can be built using modules.
- Insights provide data like estimates, scopes, and burn-down charts.
- Beyond that, Plane also offers a document feature called Pages. With Pages, you can take an AI-powered notepad for notes and easily convert them into issues.
