Efficient project planning and scheduling together with your team

Plan and schedule your projects with online timelines.

Deliver your projects on time

Collaborate on your project plan with shared timelines

A project plan visualizes all important project deliverables with its activities, dependencies and milestones on a timeline. With shared online timelines in OpenProject you can collaboratively create and easily maintain your project plan together with your team.

With timeline project management you can schedule your tasks and visualize the required steps to complete your project. As a project manager you are directly informed about delays in your project and can act accordingly.

Win your team by visualizing your project

Create a web-based and always up-to-date project plan. Share it with your team and other stakeholders to keep everyone informed. The dynamic open source Gantt chart in OpenProject displays phases, tasks and milestones in your project as well as relationships between them.

Work week

Get a more accurate schedule by defining your work week

Administrators can define which days of the week are considered working and non-working days. This setting defines what OpenProject should consider to be a normal work week when scheduling work packages to then also calculate the duration of work packages.

You can also define specific dates (such as national or local holidays) as non-working days to take any additional days into account that your team is not supposed to work.
