Hi I'm looking for some recommendations on a digital version of a bulletin board for tasks. We use a bulletin board with sticky notes for tasks that can be described as "busy work," think stuff like "organize bookcase of old licenses" or "replace thing that is probably gonna break soon so we don't get a ticket." More or less stuff we don't actually care if it gets done so we dont want SLA timers. We have a ticketing system for important tasks but it is unfortunately built in house and is more mean to manage end user workflows rather than IT things and sadly doesn't have what were looking for without adding tasks to programmers that have a several month long backlog. Our main reason for wanting a digital one is so we can do something like feed in a csv file and make multiple almost identical tasks think "do x in room 1" "do x in room 2" type thing.

If anyone has recommendations it would be massively appreciated.

    Have a look at Tasks.md. I've used it before and I liked it. You can customize the CSS as well.

    I think this has made the short list of ones to set up and demo. Ironically testing these options is also a note on the board.

    Everything was .md files on the backend, which was nice. Should make automation simple (but time consuming since you most likley have to create it yourself). The only reason I stopped using it was because I didn't really need it.

    You could try Kanban. I use Nextcloud Deck

    Go low tech, use libreoffice or something to make some card layouts, populate the fields from the CSV with a mail merge, print them and pin them to a wall.

    This probably avoids an IT call because you should have these things already available.

    I use grocy for chore /task management. Then home assistant to put it on a dashboard that looks nice. I'm not totally happy but it is the best I've found.

    Might be overkill for what you want but I currently use Donetick.

    I was just thinking about finding an alternative to projects in github or jira. Gonna try this out tomorrow. https://www.openproject.org/collaboration-software-features/

    Is there a self hosted or free tier? I’m tired of trying new project management tools that all do the same and have a per seat subscription. It must be crazy cheap to run the backend so I don’t understand why are these tools expensive.

    Pen and paper is great for this. I like Baikal for server though.
