Project Management solutions

I doubt it will meet your requirements, but something as simple as Trello can be a start.
-
Here's a list of some WordPress project management plugins I've been wanting to check out:

Of your list @JaredBusch it looks like OpenProject is the only one I would consider. The items removed from the free version on the other two are just enough to make the free one not be ideal.

Literally rolling out some Jira today!

Re: Project management for internal IT projects and tasks
@ambarishrh said in Project management for internal IT projects and tasks:
I am looking for a tool that can be used for internal projects with the following features:
- Create project, set milestones and target dates
- create individual tasks and subtasks, assign to 1 or more techs
- Analyse the overall tasks completion/performance of teams
- Generate high-level reports for management
- Add notes, comments etc.
- Self-hosted and free if possible.
Part of our O365, we have MS planner, been using it for few weeks and not really happy with that (mentioned this on another thread in ML)
I do not have the Self-hosted requirement, but I also do not mind self hosting.
I do not want to pay for a solution right now. If we find one and like it and want more features that require payment, I am happy to.
These are the solutions that I saw listed and liked:
- OpenProject - https://www.openproject.org - Self hosted most features - feature comparison
- Asana - https://asana.com - SaaS free to 15 users few features - feature comparison
- MeisterTask - https://www.meistertask.com - free unlimited users/projects, many features - feature comparison
These I saw listed and did not care for:
- Nozbe
- Teamwork
- OrangeScrum
- Jira
Beyond that list, what would people recommend?
Asana is too simple for me. I'm using it as a customer requirement. Openproject is a bit clumsy but quite detailed. Used it in the past. I ignore the last one.
It is a bit overkill for your requirements but I'm liking flowlu currently. -
Yeah, Jira is good indeed.

I like the design too but he says he doesn't care about...

I can review it again. I spent like 5 minutes max on each site. I am only trying to narrow the focus.

We use asana (freebie) and MS Planner (part of our O365)... kind of trialling them both with different projects.
Planner is well, it should be an arrest able offence as it’s gimped beyond belief if you don’t use the exchange part of O365.
Asana has a butt load (specifically 108 Imperial Gallons) of gamification... and can get quite spammy if you don’t opt for the daily email update over the notify about everything setting. The gamification makes me a little sick, it seems like it’s aimed at 12 yo kids.

I don’t recommend either.

I have been using KanbanFlow (Which is free but limited as you can see below)
https://kanbanflow.com/pricing
We use the paid version so far as OpenProject was too much to debug in our end and fix. -
I was looking at these two:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wedevs-project-manager/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/upstream/I think i'm going to run a demo on my WP test site on my VPS
-
Did some more review. Asana is out Jira, is a maybe.
Leaning towards MeisterTask. I would prefer something hosted for long term use.
-
The WordPress plugins don't seem to be worth the time without paying.
I don't feel like giving away my info to try a fully featured trial, so I'd scratch those off your list... but I'm assuming they never made it on!

Not since you said you were going to poke at them. I figured if you came back raving, I would then look.

@jaredbusch
You might want to have a look at Redmine if you haven't already.
What tool depends a lot on what kind of IT projects you want to manage.
