Public sharing within the entire instance is available to all users.

Project hierarchy
Structure your project portfolio
Manage all your projects in OpenProject. Create as many projects and sub-projects to have the complete portfolio at your fingertips.

A project can also represent functional or organizational units of a company, e.g. to have departments and topics separated.

Project overview
Your important project information at a glance
Display all important information of a selected project in a single dashboard, for example project description, project status, project members, news, spent time, and progress on work packages.
You can customize the dashboard by adding project information as widgets. Order and resize the widgets according to your needs.
Organize custom project attributes in sections and keep track of your project at all times.

Multi-project view
Overarching project planning
Plan your projects in a global multi-project view and have phases, tasks and milestones of all your projects in one joint plan or filter for the ones important to you.

PM² project life cycle
Keep track of project portfolio
Define and visualize consistent project phases across your entire portfolio to support governance and oversight.

Customize project phases and gates
Add, edit or re-arrange project phases and phase gates
Define and manage structured project phases to reflect your project’s lifecycle and governance process.

Project templates
Save time with templates
Set up everything that you want to have available for future projects and save it as a template. Even existing projects can be saved as templates.

My page
Your personal dashboard
The My page is your personal dashboard with important overarching project information, such as work package reports, news, spent time, or a calendar.

Project reports
Visualize your project progress
Add work package graphs to your project overview in order to identify progress or gaps quicker. The work package graph widgets display information about the work packages within a project.

The project activity view gives you an overview of all recent changes within a project. These include changes to work packages, project attributes, incl. project custom fields, and other modules.

Global modules
