GemBoards is a project management plugin built to run natively inside the WordPress admin dashboard, rather than as a separate hosted app. Its homepage positions it as a way to "simplify your workflow," giving WordPress site owners, agencies, and freelancers a place to organize work without leaving wp-admin. Core functionality centers on drag-and-drop Kanban boards, task checklists, subtasks, and due-date reminders, and the marketing copy also references Scrum sprint support for teams that work in agile cycles. The plugin is made by Kodezen, which sells GemBoards as a licensed WordPress plugin through its own store (store.kodezen.com) with tiers scoped by number of sites rather than by user seat, and provides product documentation at gemboards.com/docs/.
Key Features
Drag & Drop Kanban Boards — Organize work visually with drag-and-drop cards on Kanban-style boards inside the WordPress dashboard.
Task Checklists — Break work items into checklists to track completion of individual steps within a task.
Subtasks — Split larger tasks into smaller subtasks for more granular project tracking.
Due Date Reminders — Set due dates on tasks and receive reminders to help keep project work on schedule.
Scrum Sprints — Plan and run agile sprints alongside Kanban boards for teams that work in sprint cycles.
Unlimited Projects — Create and manage an unlimited number of projects natively within WordPress.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Runs natively inside the WordPress dashboard, so teams already working in wp-admin don't need to adopt a separate project management app
Covers a full task workflow in one plugin — Kanban boards, task checklists, subtasks, and due-date reminders, plus Scrum sprint support
Licensed as a one-time purchase scoped by number of sites rather than a recurring per-seat subscription, which can suit agencies managing several WordPress installs
Cons
Being a WordPress-only plugin, it isn't usable by teams whose projects live outside the WordPress ecosystem
Site-count-based licensing (e.g. 10-site, 100-site tiers) may be a poor fit for large teams with many users on a single site, versus per-seat pricing
Beyond a passing mention of Slack, the site's crawled pages don't document a clear list of third-party integrations
