OpenProject

Open-source project management for teams - plan, track and deliver work together.

Overview

OpenProject is a web-based project management platform that supports classic, agile and hybrid ways of working. Teams use it to plan tasks, track progress, manage time and keep all project information in one place.

You can run it on your own server, which keeps your project data under your control.

Where it is used

  • Software development projects
  • Client and service delivery tracking
  • Construction or event planning
  • Internal team coordination

  2. Create the first admin account and your first project.
  3. Enable the modules you need - work packages, Gantt, boards, time tracking.
  4. Invite your team and assign roles.
