Favro : Full Review, Testing, and Presentation (2025)

What is Favro?

If you are looking for a project management tool, you might be wondering if Favro is right for you.

Favro was launched in 2016, it allows you to create Kanban boards, sheets, timelines, and task cards. They also offer automation to reduce administration time and dashboard templates to make project setup easier.

Favro is aimed at SaaS (Software as a Service) and gaming businesses, but its tools can be used by any business that wants to launch a new product or service.

Features

Let's take a closer look at Favro!

We signed up for a free trial to give you a glimpse of what's in store for you.

UX/Sign Up

It's super easy to get started with Favro, and you don't need to commit to a payment plan until you start a 14-day free trial. All you need to do is provide a few details about your business, your role in it, and the industry in which you work.

It's fairly easy to navigate Favro, but it's a bit difficult to find your way around at first. If we were picky, we would say it would be good to have a contextual tutorial to guide new users in the right direction after registering.

They offer short videos in the form of pop-ups, which give you an idea of how other businesses use Favro. Once you've set up your dashboard the way you want it (we'll get to that in a moment), it's pretty easy to find your way around.

Dashboard

The dashboard is the central hub, and it can be customized to meet the exact needs of your team. Templates are available for each category, although there are some limitations — they're mostly focused on software development and design, which means you might have to create your tables from scratch if you're not working in a similar field.

On your dashboard, you can include:

Kanban boards

The tables kanban are visual tools that use maps and columns to represent tasks or items. For example, the following image shows a test Kanban board:

It's a simple way to group tasks under one roof (as in the example above). Each task (or collection of tasks) can be assigned to a different team. Each task comes in the form of a card (more on that in a moment), which can be dragged and dropped exactly where you want it.

Kanban boards are great for organizing tasks into categories. If you're managing a large multi-stage project or smaller teams, it's easy to organize them into sections, with the most pressing tasks put first.

Leaves

You also have the option of creating spreadsheets with customizable fields, including:

• Title
• Calendar
• Priority
• Text
• Number
• Status
• Link
• Members
• Date
• Tags
• Rating
• Vote
• Checkbox

The sheets can be customized, with a few basic templates to use. However, these (like all models) are really meant for software developers, so you might have to start from scratch if you work in another industry.

Timeline

Calendars are a great way to visualize goals and upcoming deadlines. Adding new events or goals is easy, and you can quickly add notes to each item.

Timelines are a great addition to your dashboard because they allow you to instantly remember important events.

List of maps

Card lists work much like a to-do list or a bulletin board, and they're a good way to keep important information or reminders in one place.

You can click on each card to edit them, adding members and labels, setting calendars and statuses, and adding notes and ideas. Other users can add comments on the right-hand side.

Views

Each section of your Favro board can be viewed in a different format. For example, if you're not a fan of lists, you can switch each item to Kanban view. This can be done on an individual level, which means that each team member can set up their board as they see fit.

Moving items is easy - just click and drag them to where you want to place them. This level of personalization is really useful because it allows team members to prioritize what they need to see right away.

You can change the color of each item if it helps you quickly find what you're looking for, and even print individual items or email them.

We love the level of personalization that is available for each person. You don't have to be an admin or a team leader to make a difference, allowing each team member to adapt. If some members of your team prefer lists to Kanban, they can change everything without losing critical information, tasks, or deadlines.

Automation

Favro allows you to automate specific tasks.

You can create au

Automations for certain tasks, such as creating maps, automatic status updates, etc.

Triggers include:

• When maps are created or change status
• When maps are completed, or when new cards are added.
• When certain periods of time pass or when you reach a deadline.

Actions include:

• Send a message
• Archives
• Create a map
• Apply the card template
• Change card status
• Add tags
• Assign members
• Add or remove from the table

Favro offers a tutorial on how to get the most out of automation. You can see how many automations have been used (you have 5000 actions per month during your free trial period - the number of automations varies depending on your pricing plan).

When used properly, automation is a valuable tool. It can save you a lot of time, allowing your team to focus on more pressing tasks.

Reporting

You can create timesheet reports:

These can be filtered by board, tags, members, date, and categories.
