HyperPlan takes the familiar kanban project planning and management strategy and presents in a no-frills, highly customizable package. All the best aspects of real-life, sticky-note-on-whiteboard project planning are present in HyperPlan. Its emphasis on the visualization of the unfolding project makes HyperPlan a great alternative to many textual, list-based to-do apps. Its organic, immediately familiar interface – “if you have ever planned something by sticking notes to a wall, you pretty much know how to use HyperPlan already,” reads a sentence on the dev’s site – makes it a far more favorable choice than many extremely comprehensive project planning apps. Most project management apps require a particular level of mastery of the app itself before you can be completely effective with it. But with HyperPlan, this barrier of entry is nonexistent. It offers a completely intuitive user experience despite being endlessly configurable, meaning it can be seamlessly implemented as the primary method of planning in nearly any scenario. And since projects can be shared between users, all members of a team can see and contribute to the task board in an instant, democratizing the workflow and allowing re-prioritization of certain tasks to occur in a heartbeat. HyperPlan is by no means the flashiest app, and despite its endless options it still isn’t the most comprehensive, but in its simplicity and efficiency it may end up being the perfect option for anything you need to plan.
