Kanban Zone
Kanban execution system where teams and AI agents move work across
Kanban Zone is a Kanban-based execution system for teams that need to see where work stands and keep it moving. Boards represent views into an organization, columns represent workflow states, and cards represent commitments. Work In Progress limits and Service Level Expectations constrain flow, and built-in metrics, reporting, and Monte Carlo forecasting support ongoing improvement.
Five built-in AI agents operate inside boards and cards: Guide surfaces blocked or overdue work across boards, Card proposes next steps for an individual card, Board reviews workflow structure, Insights flags aging cards and blockers, and Flow designs and deploys agents for specific steps. Agents read the real state of work and propose changes for review before anything moves. The system also offers Portfolio Kanban, connected boards, mirror cards, automation, recurring cards, custom fields, card templates, and card linking, plus views including My Zone, Kanban, Table, Forecast, List, Summary, and Calendar. Integrations include an API and webhooks, email-to-cards, Trello import, and Zapier, with connections to external assistants like Claude and ChatGPT via an MCP server. It runs on desktop, mobile, and large displays.
Kanban Zone is aimed at execution-focused leaders, team leads, and growing organizations managing work across teams and portfolios. A free plan and a free trial are available, and onboarding and migration services are offered alongside the product.
