About OpenProjectOpenProject GmbH

OpenProject is a full project management suite you can run yourself. The Community edition is free and already includes work packages, Gantt charts, agile boards, time tracking, a wiki, custom fields, workflows, user permissions and an API. The paid editions add enterprise add-ons and support, and they carry user minimums: 25 users for Basic and Professional, 100 for Premium and 250 for Corporate. That makes the paid ladder an organisation purchase and the community edition the small-team route.
