Release v1.9.0
🚀 Power Up Your Project Management with Workflows, Dashboards, Templates, and More!
This release brings flexible workflows to control your team's processes, customizable dashboards to visualize key metrics, and templates to standardize your projects and work items. We've also added customer management, time estimates, and numerous quality-of-life improvements to make Plane work better for you.
🔄 Workflows
Now Available in the Business Plan
Take full control over how work items move through your process with Workflows. Think of it as creating guardrails that ensure work follows your team's structure, with the right people making key decisions.

With Workflows, you can:
- Define clear paths for work items to follow.
- Restrict transitions to ensure only authorized team members can make changes.
- Prevent regressions by stopping work items from moving backward unexpectedly.
- Control which states can receive new work items.
✨ Introducing Dashboards
Available on Pro and Business plans
A powerful new way to visualize your projects through fully customizable widgets. Get the insights you need without digging through individual projects.

With Dashboards, you can:
- Visualize critical metrics across all your projects
- Choose from 6 widget types (bar, line, area, pie, donut charts and number displays)
- Identify bottlenecks and track trends over time
- Monitor workload distribution and completion metrics
- Make data-driven decisions with real-time analytics
Simply drag widgets where you need them, customize colors and data points, and transform how you manage your projects.
🧩 Organize work around your Customers
Available on Business plan
Customers puts clients at the center of your workflow. Instead of managing tasks in isolation, now you can directly connect work items to the people they serve.

With Customers, you can:
- Create comprehensive client profiles with customizable properties
- Track specific customer requests and their status
- Link requests directly to work items in your projects
- Maintain customer context throughout your entire workflow
- Make better prioritization decisions based on customer impact
This direct connection between customers and work items ensures your team always knows who benefits from their efforts, helping everyone make more customer-focused decisions.
⏱️ Estimate time for work items

Time estimates give you a clearer picture of when work will be completed, helping you set realistic expectations and deadlines.
