About

What is Plane?

Plane is a modern, open-source project management tool built for software teams who want the power of Jira without the complexity and cost. It supports issues, cycles (sprints), modules (epics), views, and pages (docs) — all in one platform. Plane's clean, fast interface and self-hostable architecture make it the top open-source alternative to Jira and Linear. With its growing GitHub integration, AI-assisted issue creation, and active community, Plane is quickly becoming the default project tracker for developer-first teams.
