Do you agree? High-quality documentation is essential — especially for feature-rich software like OpenProject.

That’s why we keep our guides up to date in English, German, Spanish, French — and soon Portuguese! — while also investing in video tutorials.

In our latest blog article, we share our approach to great documentation and video content, and introduce Dicle, our new Video Production Manager:

We’re constantly improving how work packages relate to one another. Starting today, we’re introducing a new relation type: “It’s complicated.”

OpenProject now supports unclear dependencies and emotional baggage. Because sometimes… the relation really isn’t easy to define.

We are excited to share that OpenProject has been recognized as a top-rated project management tool by Gartner!

A big thank you to our users for your feedback and support — your input helps us continuously improve and provide a powerful, open source project management solution.

The project management tool Height.app is shutting down, which is a real bummer - our company was one of the early adopters and we have used it for years. Height had one of the best designs I've ever seen, and I had high hopes for it.

This is a reminder that any service can be shut down at any moment, with no safeguards in place. It's also a reminder of the power of open source.

I have a lot of requirements for a project management tool - most notably a solid API, linkable tasks with task IDs, and a good user interface. After this experience, I'd prefer something open source. Maybe Plane.so, looks very similar to Height.app?

Any solid alternatives to tools like Jira, ClickUp, Height, or Favro? I'm open to suggestions.
