Why OwnTasks exists
Every enterprise spends a non-trivial slice of its software budget on the operations layer — yet most of that spend goes to vendors that hold the data, throttle the integrations, and charge per seat for features that should be commoditised. OwnTasks exists to absorb that layer into something the enterprise owns end-to-end.
OwnTasks is built as a work-graph for product-engineering leaders: one model that connects tasks to sprints, sprints to OKRs, and OKRs to portfolios. A developer's My Work queue, a team's swimlane capacity view, and a VP's QBR-ready dashboard all read from the same underlying data — so daily execution and quarterly commitments never drift apart across disconnected tools.
Plan. Ship. Track. Align.
What it replaces
Most teams reach OwnTasks after running into the limits of the legacy stack:
- Jira — sprint management, velocity tracking, and portfolio roll-ups live in the same tool, so engineering no longer needs a dedicated issue tracker plus a reporting layer on top.
- Asana — list, board, timeline, and calendar views cover the same project-tracking workflows, with a cross-project My Work queue that keeps individual focus intact.
- Monday.com — preserved as a familiar reference point but no longer required for the workflow.
- ClickUp — eight work views, workload swimlanes, and built-in dashboards absorb the everything-app use case without per-seat licence fees.
The replacement isn't a feature-for-feature clone. OwnTasks keeps the workflows you actually use, drops the ones that exist only because the underlying database was relational and the vendor wanted another SKU, and adds the things the SaaS world refuses to give you: identity sharing with every other application, a unified audit trail, and an event stream other Own360 apps can subscribe to.
Capabilities at a glance

Highlights
- 8 views — list, board, timeline, calendar, table, workload, dashboard, map
- Cross-project My Work queue grouped by urgency for focus without context switching
- OKRs, sprint management, and velocity tracking in the same tool — not bolted on
Feature surface
- 8 Views. List, board, timeline, calendar, table, workload, dashboard, and map views for every work style.
- My Work Queue. Cross-project tasks grouped by urgency — overdue, this week, later — for focus without context switching.
- Swimlanes. Capacity-at-a-glance by assignee with WIP visibility, priority labels, and drag-and-drop.
- Portfolio Roll-ups. OKRs, sprint management, velocity tracking, and QBR-ready dashboards for leadership.

How OwnTasks fits the Own360 stack
OwnTasks is one of 23+ Own360 applications that share a single control plane. The same identity provider, the same role-based access engine, the same audit log, the same event bus, and the same workflow runtime power every app on the platform.
That sharing is not cosmetic. It is what makes the platform a coherent operating layer rather than a federated bag of SaaS tools. A permission grant in OwnCentral instantly affects OwnTasks. An event emitted by OwnTasks can trigger a workflow in OwnFlow. An audit record from OwnTasks surfaces in the same query as one from OwnERP. There is no integration project — only configuration.
Operational economics
The Own360 commercial model is deliberately simple and decidedly not per-seat. Every Own app — including OwnTasks — is source-available, self-hostable, and licensed perpetually. The 10-year cost curve flattens because there is no annual seat inflation, no AI add-on SKU, and no vendor lock-in tax on the data you produce.
For finance leaders, this turns an OpEx subscription stream into a one-time CapEx outlay plus a small support footprint. For engineering leaders, it turns a vendor integration roadmap into an internal product roadmap. For security leaders, it eliminates the "data lives at someone else's URL" risk entirely.
Frequently asked questions
What is OwnTasks?
OwnTasks is the Own360 product for "Plan. Ship. Track. Align." in the Operations layer. It is a work-graph where tasks, sprints, OKRs, and portfolios share one model, so day-to-day execution, team flow, capacity, and leadership commitments are all visible from the same place.
What does OwnTasks replace?
OwnTasks is designed to replace Jira, Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp with a single owned, governed surface that runs on the Own360 control plane.
Who uses OwnTasks?
VP Engineering: Portfolio roll-ups with velocity tracking and QBR-ready dashboards — no Jira + Asana + Notion mashup. Product Manager: OKR alignment from task to sprint to quarterly goal. See how shipping velocity maps to strategy. Developer: My Work queue groups overdue, this week, and later across all projects. Focus without context switching.
How does OwnTasks fit into the Own360 stack?
OwnTasks runs on top of the Own360 control plane — sharing identity, permissions, audit, and workflow services with every other Own product. There is no separate SSO setup, separate audit log, or separate integration layer. The same governance and event bus apply.
Is OwnTasks self-hosted?
Yes. The entire Own360 platform — including OwnTasks — is designed to run inside your VPC, your on-prem data centre, or a sovereign cloud. Source-available with perpetual licensing; no per-seat tax, no data egress, no telemetry leaving your boundary.
