OpenProject Roadmap
We continuously improve OpenProject.
Manage and prioritize entire portfolios, track progress, risks and budgets, and align with strategic goals.
Implement PM² and PMflex best practices for strategic and transparent portfolio governance in OpenProject:
- Project Initiation Requests – Collect and manage new project initiatives in a structured intake process using PMflex templates to ensure consistency and strategic alignment.
- Evaluation and project scoring – Assess proposals objectively based on strategic contribution, benefits, risks, and resource impact to support data-driven portfolio decisions.
- Deliver project artefacts, such as complexity assessment & low code/no code suitability or business case, in a structured way, considering existing project information.
- Portfolio planning and monitoring – Track progress, benefits, and interdependencies across the portfolio for continuous alignment and performance review.
- Governance and reporting – Enable transparent decision-making through PM² or PMflex governance boards and standardized AI supported reports.
Enable real-time collaboration and structured document workflows for text-based content in OpenProject:
- BlockNote integration – Create, edit and collaborate on texts in real-time within OpenProject using a modern text editor and go beyond regular documents.
- Comments and discussions – Add inline comments, reply in context, and resolve feedback collaboratively.
- Diffing & track changes – Compare document versions, highlight edits, and maintain full revision history.
- Document workflows – Request documents, define approval steps and review cycles to turn collaborative writing into a managed process.
AI Text Assistance
Improve written communication and documentation quality directly within OpenProject:
- Smart text editing – Use AI to rewrite, correct, or refine selected text in descriptions, comments, or documents.
- Style & clarity improvements – Enhance readability, tone, and consistency across project communication.
- Multilingual support – Instantly translate or adapt content for international teams.
- Seamless integration – Access AI assistance where you work – no need to switch tools.
- Privacy-first design – All processing takes place in a secure environment, respecting data sovereignty.
Semantic Search
Find relevant information faster with AI-powered search in OpenProject:
- Contextual understanding – Search beyond keywords and discover results based on meaning and intent.
- Unified knowledge access – Retrieve information from tasks, documents, and project data in one place.
- Improved productivity – Reduce time spent searching and focus on execution and decision-making.
- Continuous learning – Benefit from secure AI models that evolve with your project data and usage patterns.
- Privacy & control – AI runs within your secure OpenProject environment – no external data sharing.
MCP Server (AI Integration Layer)
Power AI-driven features in OpenProject through a secure and flexible integration layer:
- Central AI gateway – Connect multiple AI models and tools through one standardized interface.
- Automation & assistance – Enable AI-supported workflows, from task creation to project insights.
- Extensible architecture – Integrate custom or third-party AI services tailored to your organization.
- Data security & sovereignty – Keep all AI interactions under your control with self-hosted or EU-based setups.
- Future-ready platform – The foundation for upcoming AI capabilities across OpenProject modules.
We are developing a dedicated Jira Importer to make the transition seamless and reliable.
This integration will make it easier than ever for teams to move from Jira to OpenProject — without losing their project history or agile workflows.
The OpenProject Jira importer will allow teams to:
- Import existing projects, issues, and workflows from Jira into OpenProject.
- Retain key data such as issues, users, statuses, and attachments.
- Simplify migration from proprietary systems to an open source alternative.
- Ensure data sovereignty and compliance through self-hosted or EU cloud deployment.
You can track and follow-up incidents and service requests across teams with clear workflows and full traceability.
Track and manage IT services efficiently with OpenProject:
- Incident and request tracking – Capture, assign, and resolve issues across teams.
- Create and maintain an inventory for your organization.
- Change and Release Management – Control changes and deployments with structured workflows.
- Service transparency – Ensure accountability and visibility across the full service lifecycle.
- Mailboxes & incoming emails – Automatically create and update tickets from shared inboxes.
Scale agile collaboration across teams with OpenProject’s support for agile project management and SAFe workflows:
- Improvements for agile sprint planning, automated sprint boards and flexible Kanban boards.
- Agile Release Trains (ARTs) – Coordinate multiple teams working towards shared objectives.
- Improvements for workflow management – Plan, track, and review work in structured, scalable cycles.
- Transparency and metrics – Gain visibility into progress, dependencies, and delivery performance.
- Integration ready – Combine SAFe practices with other agile and classic project management methods.
Ensure software quality and reliability directly within OpenProject:
- Test Case Management – Create, organize, and maintain test cases in a structured, traceable way.
- Test execution & results – Plan, run, and record manual or automated test results.
- Requirements & defect linking – Connect tests to requirements and issues for complete coverage.
- Integration ready – Combine with CI/CD and external tools such as GitHub or GitLab for seamless DevOps and QA workflows.
- Reports & insights – Monitor test progress, coverage, and outcomes with clear dashboards.
Plan and allocate resources effectively to ensure balanced workloads and timely delivery:
- Resource planning – Assign people and roles across multiple projects with clear visibility.
- Capacity management – Monitor team availability and optimize utilization to prevent overload.
- Workload balancing – Identify bottlenecks early and adjust assignments dynamically.
- Timeline & Gantt view – Visualize capacity and allocation directly alongside project timelines.
- Integration ready – Connect resource data with project and portfolio management for full alignment.
Just like our source code, we are making the development roadmap transparent to the public. It shows all topics that we have recently released, are currently working on, and are planning for the future. The roadmap is automatically generated and is updated regularly from our Community instance, where you will find more details to all topics on the roadmap.
Please note that the timeline and feature set are subject to change as we continue to develop OpenProject. Our open source philosophy drives this process, and we strive to remain open and transparent throughout the journey.
