About Plane
At Plane, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the way work is managed within organizations. We understand that progress hinges on effective work management, and we've observed that current market offerings have become overly complex and cumbersome, often bogged down by numerous frameworks. While these frameworks aim to streamline work processes, they can sometimes become obstacles, limiting teams ability to tailor their work methods.
In 2022, Plane embarked on a journey to reignite the joy of using project management tools by launching an open-source project. Our mission was to create a tool that not only simplifies the initial stages of work management but also offers scalability, allowing teams to customize their processes as needed. Our approach is rooted in design, craftsmanship, and a first-principles understanding of human needs. Our efforts have quickly propelled us to the forefront of the open-source community on GitHub, amassing close to 30,000 stars in just as short span of time, making us the fastest-growing open-source project in this realm. Our ambition is to become the foundational tool for companies at every stage of growth, from startups to those on the path to IPO.
By working closely with over 100 customers and engaging with thousands of users, we have gained deep insights into the diverse needs of teams. Our goal is to craft a tool that not only meets these needs but also brings back the joy and simplicity of project management.
This journey at Plane is not just about creating a product; it's about building dreams. As we continue to grow and evolve, we invite talented individuals to join us in making work management a delightful experience for everyone. Our story is just beginning, and your skills and passion could play a pivotal role in shaping the future of work management.
