    Route evidence through reviewer-by-role gates before it can move to an accepted state.

    Approval gates

  • activity

    Every state change, edit, and comment captured with author and timestamp.

    Activity history

  • work-items-filled

    Connect requirements, tests, defects, and corrective actions so the trail stays intact.

    Linked work items

  • wiki

    Author procedures, review notes, and program documentation linked to the work.

Supplier quality, NCRs, SCARs, and CAPA

Move supplier quality issues from intake to closure

  • Capture, disposition, and close every NCR, SCAR, or CAPA — with supplier, part, and lot on the same record.

screenshot-intake-forms-cards
Features used
  • intake-filled

    Suppliers submit nonconformances through structured public forms — no Plane account required.

    Intake forms

  • properties-filled-primary

    Enforce supplier, part number, lot, defect type, severity, and disposition on every NCR.

    Required fields

  • workflows-filled

    MRB dispositions — use-as-is, rework, scrap, return, deviation — route to the right reviewers.

    Disposition workflows

  • work-items-filled

    Corrective actions open as linked work items, with closure traceable to the originating NCR.

    Linked CAPAs and SCARs

  • dashboards-filled

    Track open NCRs, aging issues, repeat suppliers, and overdue actions in real time

    Dashboards

Flight test, ground test, and anomaly tracking

Capture anomalies, triage risk, and close them before the next campaign milestone

  • Log, triage, and close every anomaly — with test run, vehicle, and subsystem linked to the work.

aerospace-capture
Features used
  • relation-filled

    Link blockers, duplicates, related anomalies, and downstream fixes.

    Work item relationships

  • cycles

    Run test campaigns as time-boxed cycles with rollover and velocity tracking.

    Cycles

  • ai-summary

    Generate test-readiness updates from work item activity.

    AI summaries

  • warning-filled

    Surface overdue blockers and stalled work before the next readiness review.

    At-risk detection

  • views-filled

    Share read-only views with stakeholders and customers without workspace access.

    External views

AI and agents

AI and agents, on the infrastructure you control

  • Plane AI and agents run fully on your infrastructure — on-prem, private cloud, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.

  • automations

    Automate tasks and set workflows for agents to run

  • stars-01

    Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, or local model

Security & deployment for regulated work

Run aerospace work where
your data already lives

screenshot-cli-grids

Self-hosted by default

  • Run Plane in your VPC, data center, Kubernetes cluster, or Docker environment.

screenshot-airgapped-grids

Air-gapped deployment

  • Zero external calls. Offline updates. Signed bundles. No telemetry.

screenshot-rbac-saml-grids

Identity and access

  • SAML, LDAP, SCIM, RBAC, and workspace permissions on every record.

screenshot-ai-customization-grids

AI under your control

  • Customer-controlled providers, local models, or self-hosted AI workflows.

screenshot-activity-grids

Audit trail on every action

  • Every state change, edit, comment, and approval preserved with author and timestamp.

screenshot-publish-views-grids

Publish externally

  • Share boards and views with stakeholders outside Plane. Collect feedback without giving full project access.

Move off Jira Data Center

Migrate work, mappings, and history without rebuilding workflows from scratch. Aerospace programs in flight don't pause.

  • Workflow translation, not rebuild

  • White-glove migration team

  • Issue types mapped to Work Item Types

  • Custom fields and history preserved

FAQs

Plane is built for teams where trust boundaries matter. Certified, encrypted, and governed for organizations that take security.

Yes. Plane can be deployed in fully air-gapped environments with offline updates, no telemetry, and no required cloud calls for program data.

Yes. Plane can be deployed on your infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, private cloud, or data-center environments.

Plane can be self-hosted or air-gapped and configured with strict access controls, identity management, and audit logs. Your legal and compliance teams should determine whether your specific data, users, and workflows fall under ITAR, EAR, or other export-control requirements.

Yes. Work Item Types let each kind of work have its own properties, templates, workflows, and required fields.

Yes. Plane supports type-specific workflows, so an ECO, NCR, CAPA, test anomaly, and MRO inspection can each follow a different path.

Yes. Plane logs work item activity, comments, state changes, property updates, workflow changes, and approvals with authors and timestamps.

Plane can replace Jira for many engineering, quality, and program workflows, especially where teams want structured work, simpler administration, self-hosting, and governed approvals. For migration, Plane can map Jira issue types and fields into Plane Work Item Types.

Plane can support controlled collaboration through permissions, guest access patterns, shared views, and structured intake. For highly restricted supplier environments, access design should be reviewed during rollout.
