How Leantime works
Teams create projects, define goals and purpose, organise work into milestones, and break delivery into to-dos with owners, dates, priorities, subtasks, and dependencies. Board, list, table, and timeline views present the same work from different angles. Timesheets and reports connect completed activity with effort.
Ideas, project documents, blueprints, retrospectives, notes, and whiteboards keep planning context near day-to-day tasks. MariaDB stores users, projects, goals, to-dos, milestones, time records, and settings. The application aims to make structured project practices accessible to teams without a dedicated project-management office.
Key Leantime features
Goal and strategy views describe why a project exists before the team fills a board with tasks. Milestones group related work on a timeline, while subtasks and dependencies show how delivery pieces relate. Personal work dashboards help each user see assigned tasks across projects.
Time tracking, reports, project documents, idea management, retrospectives, and whiteboards support planning and continuous improvement. Some functions may vary by release or edition, so the catalogue page should not imply that every commercial add-on or external integration is included.
Leantime vs Asana
Leantime is a self-hosted work-management application connecting project purpose, goals, milestones, tasks, time, documents, ideas, and retrospectives. Asana is a provider-managed work platform offering tasks, project views, timelines, Gantt charts, forms, rules, templates, workload management, integrations, and vendor-operated accounts.
Asana may suit organisations that want a polished hosted service with broad collaboration and resource-management features. Leantime is more appropriate when a small team wants direct control of its project data and a built-in link between strategy and execution, while accepting responsibility for user administration and configuration.
Who uses Leantime
Startups plan product initiatives, agencies manage client delivery, and nonprofit or internal teams organise projects without adopting a complex portfolio platform. The mix of goals, tasks, time, and retrospectives is useful when the group wants one place for both planning conversations and daily execution.
It is less suitable when the organisation needs advanced enterprise portfolio governance or expects every workflow to be preconfigured. Teams should agree on project structure, milestone naming, statuses, and time-tracking practices before importing a large volume of work.
Self-hosting Leantime: requirements and cost
Resource demand grows with users, projects, tasks, dependencies, documents, whiteboards, reports, time entries, and concurrent activity. MariaDB stores the work-management records and is included with Leantime but remains unmanaged. The database footprint is outside the exported application RAM, so the confirmed adjustment moves the complete service up one public tier.
Leantime has no separate application charge in the catalogue, and AvaHost recommends Plan 2 at €5. The hosted service includes one-click deployment, a custom work domain, automated HTTPS, automatic application updates, and scheduled backups. Application email is disabled, so invitation messages, assignment notifications, reminders, and email-based password recovery are unavailable.
F.A.Q
Leantime starts at €5 on Plan 2 after including capacity for MariaDB. The service provides a custom domain, automated HTTPS, application updates, and scheduled backups. Users, projects, tasks, documents, whiteboards, dependencies, reports, time entries, and simultaneous activity determine whether the workspace later needs a larger plan.
AvaHost creates MariaDB and configures Leantime to use it, but the database remains unmanaged. Users, projects, goals, tasks, milestones, time records, documents, and settings depend on that service. Administrators should consider the database and persistent application files together when planning updates, migrations, imports, or recovery.
A custom domain can be connected with automated HTTPS once DNS points to the hosted workspace. Choose the final address before inviting users or embedding links in documents. After connection, test sign-in, boards, milestones, file access, reports, and any integrations that refer to the earlier application hostname.
The hosted Leantime installation does not deliver application email. User invitations, assignment notifications, reminder messages, and email-based password recovery are unavailable from the hosted installation. Projects, boards, goals, documents, time tracking, and reports remain accessible through the browser. Administrators should create accounts and communicate assignments through a separate approved channel.
