How to start todayIn the product
Should you switch?
Teams that need classic Gantt-based project planning alongside agile Scrum and Kanban boards, with built-in time tracking, budgets, and BIM/IFC support: especially engineering, construction, and public sector organizations running their own infrastructure.
Your team relies on deep Atlassian ecosystem integration: Confluence wikis, Bitbucket source-control workflows, or the Atlassian Marketplace app catalog. OpenProject does not replicate that cross-product integration depth.
GPL-3.0 copyleft applies to any modified server-side code you distribute or offer as a service: review with counsel before wrapping OpenProject in a SaaS product. Advanced features, including single sign-on and additional enterprise security add-ons, require the paid Enterprise edition.

Community proof
Some quotes here endorse the approach rather than report first-hand use, or report a problem. We label those.
"A lot of what I had to hunt for in paid redmine plug-ins years ago is just a core feature in OpenProject."
"it is true that OpenProject is used as an alternative to Jira. Mainly for two reasons: OpenProject is made with data sovereignty in mind. And Atlassion pulled Jira's self hosted option off their shelves."
