OpenProject

Open-source PM with Gantt, agile, and time tracking.

OpenProject covers both classic and agile project management in one package — Gantt charts and boards sit alongside wikis and time tracking, so teams don't have to pick a single methodology and stick with it. Being open-source, it gives organizations the option to fully self-host, which matters most to teams with data sovereignty concerns or ones simply trying to avoid ongoing subscription costs. It scales from small teams up through enterprise use, and integrates with Slack, GitHub, GitLab, and Microsoft 365, covering much of what a software or IT-adjacent team would already be using. Organizations with the technical capacity to run it themselves, or those simply drawn to open-source project management as a principle, are the clearest fit.
