Good fit for Teams that want classic PM (Gantt, baselines, time tracking), not just issues.
Weak at Free-tier (Community Edition) does not include the time-tracking and SAML modules that Enterprise has.

Replaces these SaaS
- Asana · Project + task management
Use Asana CSV export → OpenProject Modules → Work Packages → Import. Map columns by hand. Attachments do not transfer; comments do.
- Jira · Issue tracking / agile boards
Jira → Issues → Export → CSV. In OpenProject, use Modules → Work Packages → Import (CSV). Map status / assignee / priority columns by hand. Attachments do not transfer over CSV — re-attach the files that matter.
- Linear · Issue tracker / project management
No Linear importer. Use OpenProject's REST API: Linear CSV → script that POSTs work_packages with status/priority mapping. Status workflow lives in OpenProject's admin and needs a one-time setup.
