Extensible (open-source) Project Management Software

Question

Hi all

I'm looking for a project management tool which supports the following features:

• standard resource administration across multiple projects
• user-defined project properties fields, which can be used to filter projects.
• project data stored in a database, such that externally generated data pertaining to projects can be directly imported.
• local application (i.e. not a web-based interface)
• open-source (ideally)

I'd be grateful for any hints. Since we haven't found any suitable existing tools, we are looking at developing our own tool using the Faces library.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Ham

Answer 1

I've only heard of dotProject, which is web based.

Answer 2

Why would a web-based interface be so bad, if the product can be installed locally?

Agilefant, an open-source project and project portfolio management tool, would probably meet your criteria (apart from the non-web-based). It's also being actively developed. You can try the live demo to get the idea of what Agilefant can do.

Answer 3

I suggest you to start with proofhub because in starting we easily build software after that it’s difficult to switch. It really helps you in handling your projects and designs.
