Inky — Project Management for Maximum Productivity
Inky is Thivi's project management product, built to boost team productivity and operational efficiency. It uses a fixed 4-column board that eliminates "column debates" and delivers consistent metrics across all sprints.
Why Fixed Columns Drive Efficiency
Traditional Kanban tools let teams customize columns (Code Review, QA, Deploy...). This causes constant restructuring, broken metrics, and endless debates. Inky fixes this for better productivity.
- Fixed board: Backlog → To Do → Doing → Done — always consistent, always comparable
- Tasks belong to the team — not one person. Shared accountability for deliverables
- Subtasks are individual work — each has an owner, a calendar time slot, and a duration
- Flow templates — enforce required steps (Code Review, QA) before a task can reach Done
- Calendar integration — see exactly when each subtask is scheduled and who is overloaded
How It Works
- PM creates tasks in Backlog
- Sprint Planning: drag tasks to a lane, team creates subtasks with owners and time slots
- Daily Standups: review calendar blocks, adjust schedule
- Retrospective: precise reports on time spent, capacity, and completion rates
More Features
- Lanes for sprints, epics, or phases
- OKR and milestone tracking
- AI-powered task creation via Jess
- Reports: time per task, capacity utilization, completion rates
A fundamentally better alternative to Jira and Asana for teams that value productivity.
