# Features

### Kanban Boards

Harmony already implements most features if not all, of a Kanban style project management's tool such as **Trello**. The entire process on how to create workspaces, boards, lists etc.. is described on the **GUIDE** section of the docs. Expect to see a smooth application with instant updates via WebSocket across all board members.

### Scrum Projects

Scrum projects allow you to plan your work in a **backlog** and organize cycles of work into **sprints**. It's recommended for large, complex projects. Harmony's goal is to provide most if not all scrum features provided by **Jira**.&#x20;

### Batteries included :battery: - Automations

[Automations](/harmony/guide/automations.md) couldn't miss from Harmony - Configure automations on a simple yet elegant interface.

### Retrospective boards

A retrospective is an opportunity to learn and improve, in a fun environment. To break it down in the simplest way you should cover:

* What worked well?
* What didn't work well?
* What actionable items can we do to improve the situation?

These are generally quick sessions that are not only informative and contribute to the team's functionality and efficiency, but also do something most ‘Retrospectives’ forget to do: Engage the team.

Starting from version 2.10, retrospective boards are available for scrum projects :rocket: :muscle:

### GitHub integration

Integrate GitHub using Webhooks and display Git activity directly to your board cards! Branch creation, pushed commits, pull requests, assignees & reviewers are directly available to your board! Read more in the [GitHub](/harmony/integrations/github.md) guide.

### Docker ready :whale: :rocket:

Built with best practices, latest technologies and most popular tools and frameworks, broken in isolated and scalable microservices, Harmony can be served via [docker](/harmony/configuration/docker.md) containers. [Kubernetes ](/harmony/configuration/docker/kubernetes.md)deployment is also available! :muscle:
