- Most project management tools are built for project managers, not developers. They don't connect to your code, your deployments, or your metrics. - AdeptDev is a unified developer dashboard that connects your Kanban board directly to GitHub and Vercel so your project board stays in sync with your actual work. - Two Kanban boards per workspace out of the box: a Roadmap for features and a Bug Tracker for issues. - GitHub webhooks automatically move tasks between columns as you push code and open pull requests. No manual updates. - Deployment status, build logs, and environment info from Vercel live in the same workspace as your tasks. - Analytics from PostHog or Google Analytics sit next to your tasks and deployments so you can ship, measure, and decide what to build next without switching tabs. - $10/month after a 7-day free trial with full access.

## Why Project Management for Developers Is Different Generic project management tools are built around one assumption: a project manager is keeping the board up to date. Tickets get moved manually. Status gets updated in standup. Someone owns the overhead of keeping the task board in sync with what's actually happening. Most developers don't work that way. There's no dedicated PM. The developer writing the code is also the one managing the project. And that developer is already context switching between their editor, GitHub, Vercel, and an analytics tab dozens of times a day. Adding a task board that requires manual updates is just another thing to maintain. The result is predictable. The board falls behind. Tasks stay in "In Progress" long after the work is done. Bugs get filed in GitHub Issues but never make it into the project board. The tool meant to reduce overhead becomes overhead itself. AdeptDev is built around a different assumption: the project board should update itself based on what's happening in the code, and your task management, deployment tracking, and analytics should live in the same place so you're not piecing together the state of your project from four different tabs.

## The Problem With the Current Developer Stack A typical developer managing a web project has this open at any given time: - A Kanban board or task tracker (Notion, Linear, Trello, or GitHub Projects) - The Vercel dashboard to check deployment status and build logs - GitHub to review pull requests and issues - An analytics tab (PostHog, Google Analytics, or Plausible) to see how the product is performing Each tool does its job. None of them talk to each other. Every time you want a complete picture of where the project stands, you have to mentally assemble it from four different places. That context switching is not free. It takes time and it pulls you out of the focused state where real work happens. For a developer who is also the founder, the designer, and the support team, that overhead compounds fast. AdeptDev removes the overhead by putting all of it in one workspace.

## How AdeptDev Works AdeptDev is organized around Workspaces. Each workspace maps to one web project. Inside a workspace you get a Kanban board, Vercel integration, and analytics — all connected and all visible without switching tabs. Multiple workspaces live under one Organization, so if you're managing more than one project you can switch between them without logging into separate accounts or losing context.

## The Kanban Board Built for Developer Workflows AdeptDev gives every workspace two Kanban boards out of the box. **The Roadmap board** is for feature work. New features, improvements, and anything that moves the product forward lives here. Tasks carry metadata including deadlines, contributor assignments, priority labels, and a sub-board for breaking larger features into smaller steps without cluttering the main view. **The Bug Tracker board** is for issues. It connects directly to GitHub Issues, so bugs filed in your repo automatically appear in AdeptDev without manual entry. No copying issues from GitHub into a separate tool. Both boards follow a fixed four-column workflow: Todo, In Progress, In Review, and Completed. The columns match how development actually works rather than inventing a custom workflow that requires explanation. **The difference: GitHub webhook integration** Most Kanban boards for developers require you to manually drag tasks between columns. You merge a pull request and then remember to move the card to Completed. You open a PR and then update the task to In Review. AdeptDev connects to your GitHub repository via webhooks. When you push code, open a pull request, or close an issue, the relevant task moves between columns automatically. The board reflects what's actually happening in the codebase without any manual updates. For a solo developer this eliminates the biggest reason Kanban boards fall behind. For a small team it removes the standup overhead of "did anyone update the board?" The answer is always yes, because the board updates itself.

## Deployment Tracking Without Leaving Your Workspace Every developer on Vercel knows the routine: push code, open the Vercel dashboard in a new tab, wait for the build, check the logs if something fails, close the tab, go back to work. AdeptDev connects directly to your Vercel account and surfaces deployment information inside your workspace. Deployment status, build logs, and environment configuration are visible in the same view as your tasks and Kanban board. When a build fails, you see it immediately alongside the tasks that relate to that work. You can identify which feature caused the problem, check the build log, and update the relevant task without leaving AdeptDev. The integration is read-only. You're not managing deployments through AdeptDev — you do that from Vercel as you normally would. AdeptDev surfaces the information where you already are so you don't have to go looking for it.

## Analytics in the Same View as Your Tasks Shipping a feature and measuring its impact are the same loop. Most developers break that loop by separating the two into different tools. You ship a feature on Monday. On Wednesday you open your analytics tool and look at the data. By then you've already moved on to the next task and the connection between what you shipped and what you're seeing in the numbers is harder to make. AdeptDev connects to your existing PostHog or Google Analytics account and pulls analytics data into the same workspace as your Kanban board and deployments. You ship a feature, see the build succeed in the deployment panel, and check the analytics impact without switching tabs. For a developer making product decisions alone, this is the loop that matters most. Build, ship, measure, decide. AdeptDev keeps all four steps in one place.

## What AdeptDev Is Not AdeptDev is not a replacement for GitHub. You still write code, open pull requests, and manage your repository in GitHub. AdeptDev reads from GitHub via webhooks and surfaces the information that matters to your project board. AdeptDev is not a replacement for Vercel. You still configure deployments, manage environment variables, and review build settings in Vercel. AdeptDev shows you deployment status in context. AdeptDev is not a replacement for your analytics provider. You still instrument your product with PostHog or Google Analytics. AdeptDev brings that data into your workspace so you don't have to open a separate tab to see it. It's not about replacing the tools you use. It's about connecting them so you stop piecing together the state of your project manually.

## Who AdeptDev Is Built For AdeptDev is built for developers who are also managing their own projects — no dedicated project manager, no DevOps team, no growth analyst. The developer building the product is the same person tracking what needs to get done, watching deployments, and making sense of the analytics. That's most indie developers, most early-stage founders, and most small development teams building web products on modern stacks like Next.js, Vercel, and GitHub. If you have a large team with dedicated project managers, dedicated DevOps, and dedicated data analysts, AdeptDev is probably not the right tool. Those teams have people whose job it is to manage the overhead that AdeptDev eliminates. If you're the person doing all of those things yourself, AdeptDev was built specifically for you.

## Pricing AdeptDev comes with a 7-day free trial that includes full access to all features. No credit card required to start. After the trial, pricing is $10 per month flat. No per-seat pricing, no tiers with features locked behind higher plans. One price, everything included. For a developer spending hours each week switching between tabs to piece together the state of a project, $10 per month to consolidate that into one workspace pays for itself in the first afternoon.

## What is the best project management tool for developers? The best project management tool for developers is one that connects directly to your code and deployment workflow rather than requiring manual updates. AdeptDev connects to GitHub via webhooks to automatically move tasks between Kanban columns as you push code and open pull requests, and integrates with Vercel to show deployment status alongside your tasks. For developers managing their own projects without a dedicated PM, this removes the biggest source of overhead in keeping a board up to date. ## How is project management for developers different from regular project management? Traditional project management assumes someone is manually keeping the board in sync with what's happening. Developer project management tools should connect directly to version control and deployment pipelines so the board updates automatically. Developers also need deployment visibility and product metrics alongside their tasks, not in separate tools. AdeptDev is built around this workflow: GitHub webhooks update the Kanban board automatically, Vercel deployment status is visible in the same workspace, and analytics sit next to the task board. ## What is a Kanban board and how do developers use it? A Kanban board is a visual workflow tool that organizes tasks into columns representing stages of work. For developers, typical columns are Todo, In Progress, In Review, and Completed. Tasks move between columns as work progresses. The advantage for developers is seeing exactly what's being worked on and what's blocked at a glance without needing a meeting. AdeptDev's Kanban boards update automatically when you push code or open pull requests via GitHub webhook integration, so the board always reflects the actual state of the codebase. ## Can I track deployments in my project management tool? With AdeptDev, yes. AdeptDev connects to your Vercel account and surfaces deployment status, build logs, and environment configuration inside your workspace alongside your Kanban board and tasks. When a build fails, you see it immediately in context with the tasks related to that work. Most project management tools don't have deployment tracking built in, which means you're switching to the Vercel dashboard separately every time you push code. ## How do I manage multiple projects as a developer? AdeptDev uses an Organization and Workspace structure. Each workspace maps to one web project with its own Kanban boards, GitHub integration, Vercel connection, and analytics. Multiple workspaces live under one organization, so you can switch between projects without separate logins or losing context. This is particularly useful for developers managing multiple client projects or products simultaneously. ## Is AdeptDev good for solo developers? Yes. AdeptDev is specifically built for solo developers and small teams who are managing their own projects without dedicated project managers, DevOps engineers, or data analysts. The GitHub webhook integration that automatically updates the Kanban board is especially valuable for solo developers because there's no one else to maintain the board manually. One person can keep their project management, deployment tracking, and analytics organized without it becoming a job in itself. ## How much does AdeptDev cost? AdeptDev costs $10 per month after a 7-day free trial with full access. No credit card is required to start the trial. There's no per-seat pricing and no feature tiers — one flat price includes everything. For a developer or small team spending meaningful time each week switching between project management, deployment, and analytics tabs, $10 per month is a straightforward trade.
