Get Ready for FluentBoards 2.0: Your Favorite Project Management Tool Is About to Get Smarter and More Powerful

Hi there! Hold your boards tight!

Your favorite project management tool, FluentBoards, is just about to get smarter, faster, and more impactful.

In 2025, we built the foundation.

We listened, learned, and made sure FluentBoards was ready to grow with teams doing real work, every single day.

Now, it’s time to accelerate.

We promised you 2026 would be different, and the journey begins with FluentBoards 2.0.

Every feature in this update is one that our users have cherished the most. You’ve been asking for them for a long time!

And, after months of research, thoughtful thinking, and evaluating real-world use cases, we’re finally shipping these features without overburdening the tool, keeping FluentBoards as simple and intuitive as ever.

Let’s see what’s coming to your table with FluentBoards 2.0!

The Core Challenges We Are Solving with FluentBoards 2.0

As teams grow, managing work becomes more than just checking off tasks.

What starts with a few simple boards often grows into overlapping projects, recurring workflows, and complex timelines. Over time, keeping everything organized begins to feel like juggling. What once felt easy can slowly start to slow teams down.

We’ve seen this pattern again and again across our users.

Teams rebuild the same boards, manually set up recurring projects, and struggle to get a clear, real-time view of progress across multiple initiatives.

And, that’s the challenge we set out to solve with FluentBoards 2.0.

Our goal with 2.0 is to deliver the most requested capabilities while keeping the experience clean, familiar, and easy to use, just like it has always been.

With this upcoming release, FluentBoards is being designed to become more powerful, save significant time in daily operations, and automate many repetitive tasks.

But the hardest part for us was not adding new features.

The real challenge was making sure FluentBoards stays simple.

And we’re happy to say that we’ve stayed true to that mission.

So, What FluentBoards 2.0 Is Bringing?

Okay, no more small talk. Let’s get straight to the point.

FluentBoards 2.0 is shaped directly by your feedback and real-world use cases. It’s coming with the two most upvoted features that have been in the planning stage for a long time. 

Along with these, we are also introducing a few other meaningful improvements that many of you have been actively discussing in our community.

Gantt Chart View: Plan Work With Time in Mind

As projects grow, knowing when things happen becomes just as important as knowing what needs to be done.

FluentBoards already offers multiple ways to manage work, including Kanban, List, Table, and Calendar views. These views are great for tracking tasks and progress. But many teams told us they also need a clearer way to understand timelines and long-term plans.

That’s where the Gantt Chart View comes in FluentBoards 2.0.

With this new view, teams will be able to plan work with more confidence, spot potential delays early, and stay aligned around delivery timelines.

Imagine managing a product launch or a client delivery project.

You already have tasks moving through different stages.

With the Gantt Chart View, you will be able to see how those tasks stretch across a timeline, where they overlap, and how they depend on each other.

If one task gets delayed, the impact on the rest of the project becomes instantly visible.

Pre-Built Board Templates to Start Strong

One of the most requested features from our users has been pre-built board templates.

Until now, every new project had to start from scratch. Many of you shared how helpful it would be to have ready-made templates to kick off projects faster and with more confidence. 

This is especially valuable for new users getting started with FluentBoards, and for teams looking for inspiration based on proven project structures.

And, with FluentBoards 2.0, this is finally becoming a reality.

At launch, you can expect five pre-built templates designed to cover common project management needs. Based on your feedback, we will continue expanding this template library with future releases.

Alongside templates, FluentBoards 2.0 will also introduce meaningful UX improvements. 

You will get a dedicated dashboard to view, manage, and organize both pre-built and custom templates, making it easier to reuse what already works.

Automated Board Creation from Templates

Here comes another highly cherished feature that has been in the works for a long time and is finally taking shape.

Yes, the bond between FluentCRM and FluentBoards is about to get even stronger.

Right now, FluentCRM offers a single dedicated action for FluentBoards: Create Task.

With FluentBoards 2.0, this integration is set to become far more powerful.

After the release, you will be able to automatically create a full project board from a selected template using FluentCRM automations. 

These automations can be triggered by real-world events like a new order being placed, an order status changing, or a form submission being received.

Imagine you run a WooCommerce store or manage projects for clients as an agency.

A customer places an order. As soon as the order is completed, FluentCRM triggers an automation. That automation instantly creates a new project board in FluentBoards using a predefined WooCommerce fulfillment template.

Tasks such as order review, design, development, QA, and delivery are already structured. The right team members are assigned, and the project is ready to move forward without any manual setup.

No one needs to create boards from scratch. No steps are missed. Everything starts automatically.

And More!

Those were the key highlights of what FluentBoards 2.0 is bringing.

But that’s not all. FluentBoards 2.0 will also include smaller yet impactful features, such as:

• Customizable business logo in the frontend

And, as with all our releases, you can also expect important improvements and bug fixes to make FluentBoards more reliable and enjoyable to use.

Get Ready for a More Capable FluentBoards

Yes, that’s a wrap… almost.

We can’t wait to bring FluentBoards 2.0 to you and see how it will make your day-to-day workflow faster, smoother, and more efficient.

Our team is putting the final touches and refining a few last details, so very soon you’ll have a version of FluentBoards that is more capable, more powerful, and more impactful.

Until then, good luck with your projects, and don’t forget to keep sending us your feature requests. Your feedback shapes our roadmap, and 2026 is set to be an exciting year, starting with FluentBoards 2.0.

Thank you once again for being part of this journey.
