OpenProject

OpenProject is open source project management software for teams that plan work in classic, agile or hybrid ways. It is developed by OpenProject GmbH, and its source code is open for anyone to inspect and change. Organisations can install it on their own infrastructure or use a hosted cloud edition.

What OpenProject offers

• Project planning and scheduling — gantt charts let a team build a shared plan showing when each deliverable is due.
• Agile boards — boards support Scrum and Kanban working and show how far each piece of work has come.
• Task management — tasks are assigned to teammates and kept together with the related information.
• Workload calendars — weekly or bi-weekly views show who is doing what.
• Time and cost reporting — teams can report on time spent and costs.
• Security controls — hTTPS encryption, password rules, two-factor authentication and a set session length.

Who it works with

Teams that use classic, agile or hybrid methods, and organisations that want control over where their data is held, including those that prefer an on-premises install.
