About OpenProject
OpenProject is a leading open-source project management software designed to support teams throughout the entire project life cycle. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools for task management, project planning (Gantt charts), and agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban. The platform is particularly noted for its flexibility, supporting classic, agile, and hybrid project management approaches. Built with a strong emphasis on data sovereignty and security, OpenProject provides organizations with the choice between a self-managed on-premises installation or a managed web-based Enterprise Cloud hosted within the EU/Germany. Its open-source nature (licensed under GNU GPL v3) ensures transparency, allowing users to inspect and modify the source code to meet specific organizational requirements. The software is widely used by public sector entities, NGOs, and security-conscious enterprises.
