Slicewise · WordPress plugin
Plan the work in thin slices.
User stories, a user story map and a Kanban board that tells you what a move changes before you accept it — all inside your own WordPress admin.
Free on WordPress.org · Pro add-on for teams · Your roadmap stays on your site
Why I built it · 01
I plan my own apps with a user story map: the user’s journey across the top, the stories under each step, sliced into releases. I built that map and a Kanban board into WordPress for No Plastic Today, added a check that shows what a re-order breaks before it happens, and kept using it. Slicewise is that tool, made for anyone who already runs WordPress and would rather not pay for another subscription.
What it does · 02
Stories with acceptance criteria
Each piece of work reads as a user story — who it’s for, what they want and why — with the criteria that say when it’s done, ticked off as each one is checked.
A user story map
Your user’s journey across the top and the stories under each step, one band per release. A step with nothing planned shows up as a gap.
A board with an impact check
Drag a card, or use Top and Move. If a story needs another one first, or a move shifts a target month or overfills a column, you see it before you accept. Every move can be undone for 10 seconds.
Yours, on your own site
Everything stays in your WordPress database: no account elsewhere and nothing sent anywhere. Import and export a file to move a roadmap between sites.
Slicewise Pro · 02.1
Pro is an add-on for teams: as many boards as you need, Viewer and Editor roles, a timeline by target month, the full history of every move and change, a read-only roadmap block for any page, and imports from CSV, Jira and Trello. Everything in the free plugin stays free.
Questions · 03
Is it really free?
Yes. The free plugin has the stories, the story map, the board and the impact check, with no limits and no sign-up. Pro adds what teams need: more boards, roles and history.
What do I need?
A WordPress site on WordPress 6.6 or later. In your admin, go to Plugins → Add New, search for Slicewise and choose Install.
Who can see the roadmap?
Only the people you give access to — administrators, to start with. Visitors never see it unless you put Pro’s roadmap block on a page.
Where do I get help?
For the free plugin, ask in the Slicewise support forum on WordPress.org. For Pro, contact me through the form and mention Slicewise.
