From InfoWorld: GitHub, the popular site for managing software development projects, is now also a lightweight project management service, thanks to a new feature.
The company launched Projects on Wednesday, which is a feature to help with all the work that springs up around a code repository.
It lets teams organize tasks into a board interface, where Pull Requests, Issues, and Notes from a repo can each be represented by a card. Those cards can then be rearranged into custom columns, so users can track how different project components are moving through a workflow.
It's a move that expands the code repository management service's functionality to compete with the likes of Asana and Trello, in a very lightweight way. Businesses that have built up massive workflows using existing tools likely won't rip those out to use GitHub's functionality. But it could be helpful to the sort of groups that are currently cobbling together a project management system.
