Project management for student teams, researchers, organisations and you

Your whole team’s week, live.

Who’s doing what, what’s late and what’s next, for every person and every week. Parts, budgets, sign-offs and software versions on the same board, plus a dissertation planner and a private space just for you.

Free for student and research teams of up to 30 people. No card needed.

The demo needs no sign-up, and nothing leaves your browser. Sign in with your university’s Microsoft or Google account and your classmates are already there.

These are real screens from the sample team you can open in the demo.

People × weeksEvery person’s tasks for each week, with deadlines, sub-tasks, priorities and what is waiting on what. Drag a card to move it to another week or person.
Trawpie: People × weeks

Waterfall or agile? Both, on one board.

Plan in dated phases with a Gantt chart when the deadline is fixed, or run two-week sprints when the work changes every week. Most engineering teams do a bit of each, so Trawpie doesn’t make you choose: the same tasks show either way.

Waterfall: phases and a Gantt chart

  • Phases with start and end dates and milestones
  • A Gantt chart with dependencies you drag to plan
  • Progress per phase and a burndown to the deadline
The Gantt chart: a row per person, task bars across November with arrows between dependent tasks

Agile: sprints, Kanban and workload

  • Sprints of one to twelve weeks, with a goal and a burndown each
  • Kanban by stage, with work-in-progress limits and sign-offs
  • A day-by-day workload view, so nobody’s Friday is impossible
The workload view: a row per person and a column per day, with each day light, medium or heavy
Team analytics: hours planned per person per week against capacity, and a burndown for the sprint running now
Analytics for either way of working: hours per person against capacity, burndowns for each sprint or phase, and what’s waiting on late tasks.

Writing a dissertation?

Give Trawpie your hand-in date and it lays out the whole thing week by week. Then it keeps you writing, keeps your reading organised and keeps your supervisor in the loop. Works on your own; your supervisor joins when you invite them. Free for students.

How the dissertation planner works
The writing log: a 4-day streak, words today, the words a day needed to hit the hand-in date, a ring per chapter and twelve weeks of writing
A writing log on every chapterLog today’s words and see your streak, a ring for each chapter, and how many words a day get you to the hand-in date.
The literature matrix: a row per source and columns for question, method, sample and findings
A literature matrixEvery source side by side with the columns you choose. Export an annotated bibliography in Harvard or APA, as Word or Markdown, or BibTeX for Overleaf.
A progress report approved by the supervisor, with its history
Supervisor sign-offSend progress reports, chapter drafts and your data management plan; your supervisor approves or asks for changes, and it’s all on record.
Supervisor meeting notes with action items that become tasks
Supervisor meetings that turn into tasksNotes, feedback and agreed next steps; each action lands on your plan with a date.

Research groups

Lab notebook, literature with DOIs, meetings whose actions become tasks, and a supervisor who can watch without editing.

Student engineering teams

Sub-teams, parts and orders, budget lines with receipts, and a weekly summary for the group chat. Free for students.

Engineering companies, 20 to 200 people

Roles and permissions, approvals for spending and deletions, requirements traced to tasks, GitHub linked to the work.

Software teams

Versions and branches above the weeks, GitHub issues and pull requests on the cards, sprints and release checklists.

Events, societies and classes

A countdown to the day, bookings and budgets, rotas, and coursework split fairly across the group.

Just you

SelfTrack: personal projects, habits and a month calendar, private to you, with your team tasks pulled in.

One board for the work, the people and the money.

People × weeks

Everyone’s work for each week on one board, with Kanban and Gantt views of the same tasks.

Parts and budgets

Components with suppliers and order status, budget lines, spending with receipts and a burn-rate forecast.

Sign-offs and approvals

Workflow stages with checklists. Leads sign off reviews; admins approve purchases and deletions.

Requirements and risks

Requirements linked to the tasks that deliver them, and a risk register scored by likelihood and impact.

GitHub, Drive and Calendar

Pull requests and issues link to tasks by reference. Files stay in your own Drive or OneDrive.

Live for the whole team

Changes appear for everyone within a second. See who is online and what they are looking at.

Versions and branches New

A release line above the weeks, a version and branch on each card; click one and its tasks light up.

Your whole organisation New

Verify your email domain once; colleagues join and find each other, like an Outlook address book.

Meetings, notebook, whiteboards

Notes whose actions become tasks, dated lab entries with photos, and sticky notes that turn into cards.
