OpenProject

OpenProject is an open source project management platform developed by OpenProject GmbH, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The platform originated as a fork of Redmine and has evolved into a comprehensive project management solution used by enterprises, government agencies, and NGOs across Europe and beyond. OpenProject is actively developed by a dedicated team and a global open source community.

The platform offers classic project management (Gantt charts, work breakdown structures), agile boards (Scrum and Kanban), time and cost tracking, team planning with resource management, document management, a built-in wiki, meeting management, BIM and construction project support, and a full-featured REST API. OpenProject supports multiple project methodologies and can be customized through plugins. The software integrates with Nextcloud for file management, Git and SVN for version control, and various other tools in the open source ecosystem.

As a Berlin-based company with deep roots in the European open source community, OpenProject is fully GDPR compliant and can be deployed either as a managed cloud service hosted in EU data centers or self-hosted on-premises for maximum data control. The platform is used by organizations including the German federal government, Siemens, and the University of Zurich. OpenProject is a strong choice for European teams seeking a transparent, sovereign project management tool that does not lock them into a proprietary vendor ecosystem.
