Life is so much better with OpenProject

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: We have transformed our workflows from chaos to elegant organization with zero manual processes

Pros:

OpenProject remains to be the top online project management tool in my ranking. It has a user-friendly interface and despite being affordable it hasn't compromised on the quality of it's features. It execute processes super quick and it is not affected by the number of projects, teams or users and it is highly customizable

Cons:

There are still some upscaling limitations even if it is open source. The free version misses resource allocation among other key functions. Lastly there exist mobile app so we often have to access it from our computers which is kinda inconvenient because project management is an all time tasks

OpenProject Survey

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: OpenProject is our superhero not only in project management-related workflows but also in how we connect, collaborate and communicate.

Pros:

From where I sit, there is a lot to like about OpenProject. It is extremely versatile and easy to use. It lets our teams and faculties seamlessly collaborate on projects and stay on the same page even though they're spread in our different branches across the country. It has been a fundamental tool in eliminating the confusion that would arise especially when dealing with complex projects as we can prioritise tasks, monitor and track progress in real time, assign/reassign tasks(when necessary) as well as the flexibility to customise it to match our company's specific requirements.

Cons:

Nothing comes to my mind that I dislike.

Prescription for Flexibility and Efficiency in Project management

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: OpenProject is a reliable long-term partner for handling tasks/projects workflows. I highly recommend it to those looking for an efficient tool to plan and manage their career responsibilities.

Pros:

I like the flexibility it gives us during project's lifecycle. We are free to make any necessary changes when needed without interfering with the projects deadlines by changing task prioritization, reassigning tasks and allocating more time to urgent tasks. With OpenProject our projects have been more interactive and fun! and it's now impossible to meet deadlines. Another aspect that I find extremely handy is how it supports diverse projects from different industries thanks to lots of customization options available. I think OpenProject is on the right track of claiming a top spot in the project management spectrum.

Cons:

So far it has been a great tool, but I can't wait to see what future improvements they have in store for us.

Project management at the tip of your fingers

5.0 last year

Comments: We tried OpenProject to track the progress of our research projects, which are distributed in nature as they are composed of different partners in different institutions. OpenProject is a solid solution for that, easy to use and with a rich set of features.

Pros:

It was super fast to insert and organize the tasks/milestones for our project. The interface is so intuitive that we didn't even need to take the introductory tutorial. This lowers the adoption effort for all members of a team and therefore makes it more likely for them to be consistent users, rather than stopping updating the project after a while. The board feature is complete and useful to have.

Cons:

The only thing we didn't find so intuitive was how to export the graphical representation of the GANTT chart, which we might want to have to put in presentations & co. Minor issue though.

OpenProject Response

Thank you for your feedback on OpenProject, Erik. As an alternative to exporting a GANTT chart, it may be helpful to use the new PDF export feature (https://www.openproject.org/blog/news-product-team-pdf-export/).

Project Planning and Scheduling is made easy by OpenProject.

5.0 last year

Comments: My overall experience has been absolutely great. OpenProject has been cost effective tool that has enabled us to finalize on most of our clients projects effectively efficiently without wasting much time.

Pros:

Currently i am working on with a small team of 10 members and we are working on multiple major projects for our clients. It's eminent we complete the projects on time and give it all we can. Using OpenProject as our main project management tool has brought a huge boost on how we are handling and managing the projects efficiently. OpenProject has the best robust and reliable features which are making everything fall into place and we are almost being done with some of the projects. It's been easy to track the team performance in real-time and able to know what's going on pretty well and and what not. It's a flexible tool that we use it on any operating system and have the controls tools which enables us to take full control of our clients projects effectively.

Cons:

The support team has been very exceptional and responsive at times but at times due to high number of clients who needs assistance they are a bit slow. Nevertheless everything else is super dope.
