About OpenProject
OpenProject supports classic, agile and hybrid project management. It includes task management, Gantt charts, boards, team collaboration, and time and cost reporting. Integrations cover Nextcloud and XWiki, and there is an API.
You can install it on your own infrastructure and keep full control of your data, or use the hosted version. Security features include two-factor authentication and session settings. It suits organisations that care about data sovereignty and want an open-source alternative to Microsoft Project or Jira.
