OpenProject

OpenProject is a comprehensive project management platform that supports agile methodologies, traditional waterfall planning, and hybrid workflows. It includes Gantt charts, Kanban boards, time tracking, and built-in wiki pages for project documentation. As a base openDesk CE component, it ships stable and production-ready.

Key Features

Agile boards: Scrum and Kanban boards with drag-and-drop story and task management.
Gantt charts: Interactive Gantt chart for project scheduling with dependency tracking.
Time tracking: Log time on tasks and projects with reporting and export capabilities.
Wiki and meeting notes: Built-in wiki pages for project documentation and meeting minutes.
Bug tracking: Integrated bug tracker with custom fields, workflows, and notifications.

Integration with openDesk Edu

OpenProject integrates with openDesk Edu through Keycloak-based SSO using SAML 2.0 and OIDC. Users access project boards directly from the unified Nubus portal. It deploys as a modular Helm chart and is the default project management tool alongside the Beta alternative Planka for lighter Kanban use cases. Persistent project data is backed up through k8up.
