Simple Kanban Boards That Power Real Progress

Kanban boards are one of the most powerful tools for managing work – but in many project management platforms, they’ve become bloated, complicated, and confusing.

At Herdr, we went back to the roots: simple and easy project management tools that empower teams to move faster, not slower.

Our kanban boards are designed specifically for bootstrapped startups that need clear, visual execution without all the noise.

Why Simple Kanban Matters for Startups

For small teams, kanban boards should:

• Make work visible, so everyone knows what’s in progress and what’s next.
• Clarify ownership, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
• Support fast iteration, letting you move tasks easily as priorities shift.
• Avoid overengineering, because complexity kills momentum.

When kanban boards get bloated with workflows, nested automation, or over-complicated states, startups slow down.

Simple wins.

How Herdr’s Kanban Boards Work

In Herdr, every project created from your roadmap comes with a clean, focused kanban board:

• Lists for stages of work (like To Do, In Progress, Done).
• Cards for tasks, features, or deliverables.
• Drag-and-drop simplicity to move work forward.
• Assignees and estimated work to keep accountability clear.
• Comments and chat integration to discuss work without leaving the task.

You can create a board in seconds, and spend your energy executing, not configuring.

Less Setup, More Shipping

With Herdr:

• No overwhelming options when creating a board.
• No endless fields to fill out.
• No messy configurations that only a “project manager” can understand.

Just fast, clear, collaborative work that keeps your roadmap moving toward reality.
