OpenProject is the best open source Trac alternative for project management

Trac is an open source issue and bug tracking system with a focus on software development projects. It offers version control and enhanced wiki pages. Let’s take a look at why OpenProject is the best Trac alternative.

What does OpenProject offer?

OpenProject and Trac both offer classic issue tracking features. However, OpenProject also allows release management through product roadmaps. It also adds sophisticated project management features, such as project planning and scheduling with Gantt charts, meeting management and cost tracking. Compared to Trac, OpenProject is much stronger in usability and provides regular releases with updates and improvements. If you are looking to switch to an active open source bug tracking software, OpenProject is the best choice.
