Simplify (team)work
Our mission is to give you the tools to plan, track and visualize any type of work effectively across teams, projects and methodologies.
Why Placker exists
Built from real frustration
Something simple always gets complicated
Something that seems so easy - work needs to be done by someone at a certain time - always gets complex and complicated. Especially when coordinating across teams, projects, and countries.
The tools don't help. They're either too simple or too opinionated. They work for basic cases or specific project types, but struggle with the full work lifecycle from idea to done.
Too simple: Great for a single team, but no visibility when work spans multiple boards or projects.
Too opinionated: Built for one methodology or role, forcing everyone into the same rigid structure.
No middle ground: You lose either simplicity or visibility. Never both.
Placker started in 2014 to solve this. First as power-ups for Trello, then growing into a standalone platform to manage any type of work across teams, projects, and boards.
How we work
Built with care, improved with feedback
Tools should fit how you work, not the other way around
Only embedded tools get used. If a tool doesn't fit how your team actually works, it gets abandoned. Switching to another tool rarely helps. You just restart the same cycle with different problems.
Expert support: Our support isn't just troubleshooting. We help you get the most out of Placker and look at how Placker fits your process. Sometimes the answer is a feature, sometimes it's a different way of working.
Flexible by design: Placker doesn't force a methodology. Agile, waterfall, hybrid. Placker adapts because work doesn't fit neat boxes.
Continuously improved: Every conversation teaches us something. What's working, what's missing, what could be simpler. Placker improves iteratively based on real feedback from real teams.
What drives us
Expert tools, expert support
Working closely with our users to improve Placker
We believe the best tools are built with the people who use them. This is why we work closely with our users to improve Placker.
Expert tools: Work management is complex. We don't pretend otherwise. Placker gives you powerful capabilities without forcing complexity on your team.
Shared knowledge: Every team works differently. We help you find what works through documentation, training, and direct support from people who know how to get work done.
Your success: Our goal is to enable you to get your work done. That means building the right features, providing the right support, and staying out of your way when things just work.
