Your project backlog, finally organised.
Every client project, revision request and new brief in one place. Pull the right work into your active sprint when you’re ready, without losing track of what’s waiting.
The details that make the difference.
Everything you’d expect, done right.

Rich Task Cards
More blocks soonAdd content blocks to any task: text, bullets, checklists and more. Task notes that actually work.
Task Priority
Flag what matters. Mark tasks as urgent, high, medium or low so the right things get done first.
Task Assigning
Put names to work. Assign tasks to teammates so everyone knows exactly what they own.
Board Permissions
Workspace members can view boards by default, or require approval before anyone joins. You stay in control.
Board access
All workspace members can view and join this board. No invitation required.
Members must request access before they can join. Board admins approve each request.
Only invited members can see and access this board.
Works for every kind of design work.
Brand identity, UI/UX, print, motion — Kanbanq keeps it all in one studio backlog.
Backlog management
Keep all client requests, revision notes and future projects in one organised backlog. Nothing gets lost in email.
Revision tracking
Log each revision round as tasks. Know exactly what’s been addressed, what’s still open and how many rounds a project has gone through.
Client sign-off tracking
Create a ‘Client review’ column and track every approval. Close a task when the client signs off, not before.
Design production pipeline
Manage concept, production and delivery stages for every project. Your team always knows exactly where each piece of work stands.
Studio workload visibility
See at a glance who’s working on what across the studio. No more asking around to find out if someone has capacity.
New business pipeline
Track pitch prep and proposal work in the backlog alongside active projects. New business never gets squeezed out entirely.

Remote design teams

Print production
