Health Commissioner Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Tool for Project Management" February 15, 2019 4.0 Overall this is a go-to program for my occasional project management needs. Very happy with the program in general. Pros The biggest draw for me was the price tag - free. I don't know who spent the time to design this program, but it has been an excellent resource for me during the few projects a year when I need a true project management tool. It has a wide variety of features available, and after a few minutes of trial and error, it was easy to pick up the basics. The GANTT chart feature is especially useful and is the component that I use the most. Cons Finding some features of the program can be tricky and aren't as user friendly as they could be. Export options seem a little limited. Review Source Response from OpenProject December 19, 2022 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on OpenProject.
