Boards where the decision was made

Create your workspaceSee pricing

Enclessa task boards are kanban boards that belong to a team and inherit that team’s roles, so nobody administers a second permission model beside the first. A card links back to the channel and message the work came out of, which is the part a separate project tool cannot do. Boards are a module: they are off until an operator switches them on for the organisation.

Open betaThe platform is being built in the open, so parts of it are not there yet, behaviour changes between releases, and no availability figure is committed while it is in beta. What is still being built.

Why a board inside a chat platform?

Because the alternative is two access models, two invitation lists and two places to look. A board that belongs to a team already knows who may see it, and a card that references the message where the work was agreed keeps the reasoning attached to the task instead of stranding it in a channel nobody scrolls back through.

  • A board belongs to a team and uses its roles
  • Cards carry a link to the room and message behind them
  • Board changes can post into the channel that owns the work

What do the boards deliberately not do?

Enclessa is not a project management tool, and the boards are scoped so that they cannot slowly become one. There are no dependencies, no sub-items, no automation rules, no cross-board roll-ups and no velocity charts. A board is a shared list of work with columns and owners, and that is the whole of it.

  • No dependency graphs, no automation engine, no burndown charts
  • No portfolio or cross-board views
  • What was cut stays cut, and the reasoning is published

What this does not do

  • Boards are off until an operator enables the module for the organisation.
  • Dependencies, sub-items, automation rules, cross-board views and reporting charts are deliberately absent and will stay absent.
  • The GitHub connector requires the boards module, because its cards are board cards.

Questions

Task boards: common questions

Does Enclessa include a kanban board?

Yes, as an optional module. Enclessa task boards are kanban boards owned by a team, using that team’s roles, with cards that link back to the conversation the work came from. An operator switches the module on per organisation.

Do Enclessa boards need separate permissions?

No. A board inherits the roles of the team that owns it, so the people who can see the team’s channels are the people who can see its board, subject to the same permission bits.

Can Enclessa boards replace Jira?

No, and they are not meant to. Enclessa boards deliberately have no dependencies, automation rules, cross-board views or reporting charts. They are for teams that want the work next to the conversation, not for portfolio management.
