OpenProject

We offer open-source project management software that supports classic, agile, and hybrid methodologies. Our software helps distributed teams collaborate across the entire project lifecycle, from planning to execution and documentation. It’s available in over 30 languages.

Features include project portfolio management, planning and scheduling with Gantt charts, task management, issue tracking, agile boards (Scrum and Kanban), requirements management, release planning, time and cost tracking, budget planning, and team collaboration.

We provide a free Community edition for download and installation. For enterprise customers, we offer a hosted cloud edition (SaaS) and an on-premises edition, both with professional support, premium features, and additional security. Our main office is in Berlin.

We aim to serve companies of any industry and size that manage their own projects and prioritize open source and data sovereignty. We offer special rates for non-profit organizations and educational institutions.

We were founded in 2012. We have offices in Berlin, Germany, and Atlanta, GA, USA.

Our mission is to develop open-source software that changes how teams collaborate, helping them achieve results for society’s good. Our vision is to become a leading project management software for data-conscious organizations.

Our culture is defined by five core values, which form the acronym OPENP:

• Open: We openly exchange knowledge and learn new tools or technologies.
• Pragmatic: We are pragmatic, implementing and changing things quickly, emphasizing ‘release early, release often’ in development.
• Engaged: We are engaged, committed to our customers and colleagues, and provide mutual support.
• Affinity: We have an affinity for OpenProject, continuously improving our products and services and finding meaning in our work.
• Proactive: We are proactive, taking responsibility and being accountable, for example, by being punctual for meetings and valuing our colleagues’ time.

We are a remote-first company, so our team members work from various locations globally. Our team has 51 members from 13 nationalities, speaking 17 languages across 12 countries.

We emphasize a culture of open communication, feedback, and transparent remote working guidelines. We provide flexible working hours, offer employee benefits, and promote constructive meeting practices. Our work environment is friendly and considerate, with interdisciplinary teams, flat hierarchies, and opportunities for individual responsibility and growth.

We foster an open-source ethos. Our product is developed publicly on GitHub, which encourages contributions and transparency. Our development process includes continuous delivery and integration, pair programming, and code reviews.

We are committed to having an impact by supporting NGOs and other open-source projects through our free Community version, and by prioritizing data sovereignty, privacy, and security.

We provide flexible working conditions. We’re a remote-first company, with the option to work from our Berlin office or home.

Our employees receive 30 days of paid time off annually and benefit from regular pay reviews. We cover childcare costs and offer flexible working conditions to support families.

We provide employees with hardware of their choice. Those residing in Germany can access a job bike scheme. We offer a learning and development budget for classes, workshops, coaching, or books.

We organize ‘Passion Time’ for employees to work on projects they are passionate about, and we host annual team retreats. Our referral rewards program offers a bonus, additional paid time off, or a donation for successful new hires.
