Every workflow a research group runs.

From experiment design to publication, Kanbanq keeps the full research pipeline visible.

Experiment tracking

Manage each experiment as a sprint: design, setup, data collection, analysis and write-up. Track every stage as a task with a clear owner.

Data analysis pipeline

Break analysis work into tasks: data cleaning, statistical tests, visualisation and interpretation. See exactly where the analysis stands.

Paper writing

Track each section of a paper as a task. Move from draft to peer review to submission without losing sight of what still needs to be done.

Literature review

Keep reading lists, source notes and synthesis tasks in the backlog. Work through them systematically and mark done when integrated.

Group coordination

Assign experiments, analysis tasks and writing sections to research group members. Everyone knows their responsibilities without a group meeting.

Grant milestone tracking

Break grant deliverables into tasks and track them as a sprint. Submit progress reports knowing exactly what was completed in each phase.

Academic research

Ideal for lab groups, dissertation projects and collaborative academic research. Track experiments, writing and supervision tasks in one place.

Commercial R&D

Manage product research cycles in a structured board. Track hypotheses, experiments, findings and recommendations from one sprint.

Distributed research groups

Keep researchers across institutions or time zones aligned on a live board. Real-time updates mean no one is waiting for a Monday check-in.

Publication pipeline

Track journal submission, reviewer responses, revision rounds and acceptance tasks. Never lose sight of a paper in the publication process.

Supervisor communication

Create a review column for work awaiting supervisor feedback. The board shows exactly what’s waiting for review without a chase email.

Ethics and compliance

Track ethics applications, consent processes and compliance tasks as a pre-research sprint. Keep the administrative foundation documented.
