Use case: feature development

When you develop new features and test those features prior to a release you may find some critical bugs. To prevent the feature from being closed without the bugs being closed first you can create a blocked by relationship.
To get an overview of the features and the bugs that block the release of the features, simply filter for the features and add a Blocked by column to the work package table. You now have a compact overview of the features and the bugs blocking the release of those features. To see which bugs are blocking a specific feature, simply click on the number shown for the feature in the Blocked by column. This expands the list of bugs.

Use case: release management

When you plan new releases, it is important to see which work packages are required for the releases. Showing this information is easy.
Simply create an includes relationship between the work packages in the release and the release itself. From the work package page you can then easily see which work packages belong to a release and how many have been completed.

Use case: goal setting (OKRs)

Setting goals is important in project organizations. To see what needs to be completed in order to achieve a goal, create a part of relationship to show which tasks or key results are part of this goal.
This way, you get a clear understanding what are open tasks to be completed in order to have the goal accomplished.

Display includes relation for goal setting

Easily create bugs based on individual templates to save time and reduce errors. Specify, prioritize and assign bugs to the respective person and version to be fixed and follow up on the progress.

Additionally, the dynamic bug lists provide a detailed overview at any time. Filter and group based on your needs to create detailed bug reports for stakeholders.

Furthermore, integrate your full project management by activating Gantt charts, or prioritize your bugs in the agile boards.

You can attach documents to work packages with drag and drop or select the file from a folder and upload it to the work package. The files will show in the work package detail view in the files tab.

Besides that, OpenProject offers Nextcloud and OneDrive/SharePoint integration (Enterprise add-on) to manage your files. If you have a Nextcloud or a OneDrive account, you can link it to OpenProject. These integrations allow users to link files and folders in these storage platforms with work packages in OpenProject. This makes it possible to see all files related to a work package (in OpenProject) and all work packages related to a file (in Nextcloud or OneDrive/SharePoint).
