When vanilla Redmine leaves four gaps your team hits every week
Redmine works. These four defaults don’t.
Every team running plain Redmine eventually hits the same four gaps. Time is logged inconsistently because there is no structure or enforcement around time entry — which makes billing data and project cost visibility unreliable within the first month. Sprint and kanban execution is invisible because Redmine’s default list view gives no board-level visibility into work in progress. Project status requires manual report runs because there are no configurable dashboards pulling live data. And the default Redmine interface, while functional, erodes adoption quietly — teams use it less than they should because the visual experience does not meet modern expectations. The Essential Bundle closes all four gaps with the plugins that address them directly — installed together at one price.
What is the Redmine Essential Bundle?
The Redmineflux Essential Bundle is a bundled set of three foundational workflow plugins — Agile Board, Notification, and Custom Dashboard — plus two modern themes and three free productivity utilities — Daisy Theme, Scarlet Theme, Tags, Inline Editor, and Mentions — sold together at a single price below individual licence cost. All eight install on one Redmine instance and share data from the same issue base. Sprint execution, smart alerts, live dashboards, and a polished interface — the foundation before the gaps become habits.

What each plugin does, in one card
The bundle, broken down by job to be done.
Notification Plugin — smart alerts that keep your team informed without the noise.
Configure per-project and per-role notification rules that fire on issue events: status changes, assignments, comments, and due-date proximity. Digest mode batches low-priority updates into a single email instead of flooding inboxes. The notification log inside Redmine gives managers visibility over what was sent and when — all without leaving Redmine.
- Per-role rules triggered by status, assignment, and due-date events
- Digest mode + notification log for manager visibility
Agile Board Plugin — Kanban and Scrum inside Redmine.
Kanban board with configurable swimlanes and WIP limits. Sprint planning, backlog management, and velocity tracking cover Scrum workflows in the same instance. Drag-and-drop issue movement between columns and sprints updates the underlying Redmine issue in real time — no second tracker, no sync overhead.
- Mixed Scrum + Kanban inside one instance
- WIP limits · velocity charts · sprint burndown
Custom Dashboard Plugin — real-time visibility across every project.
Configurable widget-based dashboards for individual users and project teams. Live issue counts, status breakdowns, and overdue indicators give project managers a current view without running manual reports. Multi-project overview widgets provide portfolio-level reporting without leaving Redmine.
- Per-role widget dashboards (PM / Eng / Exec)
- Live issue counts + portfolio rollups
Themes & free utilities — the small things that compound.
Daisy and Scarlet themes give your Redmine a modern, readable interface that the team actually wants to use. Tags, Inline Editor, and Mentions are free utilities that smooth out the daily friction — classifying tickets the way your team talks, editing without leaving list view, @-mentioning the right person so the loop closes.
- Daisy + Scarlet themes (light + dark, WCAG AA)
- Tags, Inline Editor, Mentions — all free, all bundled

Role by role
Who gets what from the Essential Bundle.
Project ManagerSprint & delivery oversight
Sprint visibility, smart notifications, and live dashboards in one environment — without running manual reports or switching between tools. Board, notification, and dashboard data share the same Redmine issue base, so the view is always current.

Sprint planning and issue tracking grounded in real data — not approximations. Agile Board shows work in progress; Notification ensures the right people are alerted the moment status or assignment changes. Both read native Redmine issues with no sync overhead.
IT DirectorTooling governance
Three governance-level plugins at one price — smart notifications, execution visibility, and live reporting from a single Redmine instance. One vendor, one licence, one system to govern from day one.
New Team LeadOnboarding a Redmine deployment

Bundle FAQs
Questions before you buy the Essential Bundle.
If yours isn’t here, check pricing or contact support.
Who is the Essential Bundle for?
The Essential Bundle is built for teams setting up Redmine for the first time and teams that have been running Redmine for a while but have not yet added structured time tracking, a visual board, or live dashboards. Both benefit most from installing before inconsistent habits are established.
It is the right starting point for development teams, IT operations teams, and delivery teams that run on Redmine and need structured execution visibility without a large plugin footprint. If your team needs Gantt Chart, Knowledge Base, or Issue Template as well, the Project Management Bundle adds those five plugins on top of the Essential Bundle’s eight.
Can I upgrade from the Essential Bundle to the Project Management Bundle?
Yes. Redmineflux bundle upgrades are available. If your team grows into planning and delivery workflows that need Timesheet, Gantt Chart, Knowledge Base, and Issue Template, you can upgrade from the Essential Bundle to the Project Management Bundle by paying the price difference at the time of upgrade.
Check the Redmineflux pricing page for current upgrade pricing. All eight Essential Bundle plugins carry forward — no reinstallation, no data migration.
What does the renewal price cover?
Support renewal after 1 year 30% of bundle price. The renewal covers ongoing plugin updates (compatibility with new Redmine releases, bug fixes, security patches) and support tickets via the Redmineflux helpdesk.
If you don’t renew, the plugins keep running on your Redmine instance indefinitely — no licence-server kill switch — but you stop receiving updates and your support tickets are not covered.
What’s not included in the Essential Bundle?
The Essential Bundle does not include Timesheet, Gantt Chart, Knowledge Base, and Issue Template. Those four are in the Project Management Bundle ($2,456 one-time for 12 plugins total).
Plugins in neither bundle — Workload, Checklist, Time Tracker Desktop, Fluxshot, CRM, Invoice, Helpdesk, and Test Case Management — are available individually at standard plugin pricing, or as part of the All Plugins Bundle ($4,753 one-time).
Which Redmine versions are supported?
All plugins in the Essential Bundle are tested and maintained against all Redmine versions. Compatibility is verified with each bundle release. Ruby 3.x is required.
Is there a trial of the bundle?
The cleanest trial path is a Cloud demo — a fully hosted Redmineflux instance with every plugin in the bundle (plus the rest of the catalogue) running and ready to load your data. No credit card needed. Book a demo →
