OpenProject | open source project management software

OpenProject is a leading open-source software for classical, agile, and hybrid project management. Since its founding in 2011, as a fork of Redmine, OpenProject has developed into a comprehensive platform for the entire project lifecycle. The company, based in Berlin, Germany, is operated by OpenProject GmbH and supported by the active community of the OpenProject Foundation, which has not existed since 2019 but laid the foundations for today's community[4].

OpenProject offers a wide range of features that support project teams in all phases of project management. The main features include:

The mission of OpenProject is to equip teams with a powerful, flexible, and secure project management platform based on the principles of software freedom, transparency, collaboration, and data sovereignty. OpenProject promotes an active and open community of developers, users, and companies to ensure the continuous development of the software[4].
