Connect project management closely with development: schedule, prioritize and complete all tasks of a project in a clear and structured way while keeping an eye on the developments.
Work on pull requests in GitHub and link them to features, tasks or bugs in your projects. See which development steps belong to a particular work package and track the status, even for GitHub Actions.
The update allows mutual customers of these open source applications to seamlessly and securely collaborate on projects and share files without compromising data sovereignty!
OpenProject, the leading free and open source project management software and Nextcloud, the word's most deployed content collaboration platform, publish a new version of their integration.
Data sovereignty and open source are important core values to both OpenProject and Nextcloud, and form the foundational common ground for this integration.
This integration allows to link files and folders in Nextcloud with work packages in OpenProject, which makes it possible see all files related to a work package (in Open Project) and all work packages related to a file (in Nextcloud).
Version 12.1 of the open source project management software OpenProject was released.
This new version contains various new features and improvements:
A new Team Planner module (Enterprise feature) allows you to visually assign tasks to team members to get an overview of which team member is working on what and when tasks are due and schedule work accordingly.
We are now publishing the basic agile boards for the Community! Making it possible to work with agile boards in the free of charge Community version of OpenProject.
The "Include Projects" filter option makes it easier to add multiple projects to your views, such as for work packages, calendars, and team planners.
We added a new "Files" tab in the work package details to have all possible information attached to a work package together.
We created global roles for groups to assign these roles to groups and create superuser groups.
The project status was given more options to choose from.
Special thanks go to all contributors without whom this release would not have been possible!
Version 12 of OpenProject, the free and open source project management software, introduces in-app notifications. It will change the way how you work with OpenProject.
The new in-app notifications help you never miss an important change in your projects again. Now, you receive all important updates directly in the application and don’t get a flood of emails in your inbox anymore.
The notification center displays all notifications about changes within your projects. It includes intuitive filter options on the sidebar that let you browse by your involvement in work packages or by project.
