OpenProject

OpenProject, based in Germany, makes project management software for classic, agile or hybrid ways of working; its code is public and released under the GNU GPL v3. It can be installed on an organisation's own infrastructure for full control over data, or run through the company's Enterprise Cloud, which keeps data on servers within the EU or, on request, in Germany.

What OpenProject offers

• Gantt charts — plan and schedule projects and visualise deliverables over time.
• Agile boards — support Scrum and Kanban workflows for team organisation.
• Calendar-based task assignment — assign work to teams on a weekly or bi-weekly view.
• On-premises or cloud hosting — install locally or use the Enterprise Cloud with EU or Germany-based data storage.
• Security controls — HTTPS encryption, password protection, two-factor authentication and configurable session timeouts.

Who it works with

OpenProject is aimed at organisations that want to keep ownership of their project data while still using a shared platform for planning and collaboration, including security-conscious companies.
