## Description

OpenProject is an open-source work management and project portfolio platform designed for tracking tasks, managing project lifecycles, and overseeing strategic objectives. It provides a centralized environment for organizing team workflows through agile boards, Gantt charts, and roadmaps, while supporting complex project hierarchies and resource capacity planning across large organizations.

The platform distinguishes itself through specialized support for building information modeling, allowing teams to import, visualize, and coordinate 3D models and construction issues directly within a web browser. It further differentiates its capabilities by integrating state-machine workflow engines and relational work-package modeling, which enable highly customized, schema-driven tracking of project items, dependencies, and status transitions.

The system covers a broad capability surface including enterprise-grade identity management, automated reporting, and financial performance monitoring. It offers extensive configuration options for custom work types, project governance roles, and scaled agile methodologies, alongside programmatic interfaces for external system automation and AI assistant connectivity.

The software is designed for self-hosted deployment, providing comprehensive procedures for installation, maintenance, and data migration from third-party systems.
