1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
They're ready to take the mystery out of project management.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Always.

3
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,440
We're diving into OpenProject today.

4
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:04,960
Cool.

5
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,720
A tool that's got people talking.

6
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,280
You're curious if it lives up to the hype?

7
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,200
I think it does.

8
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,280
And we've got just the info to help you decide.

9
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,280
We've waded through articles, testimonials.

10
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Oh, wow.

11
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,200
Even peeked at the code.

12
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,360
And by the way, if you find yourself needing help setting

13
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,640
OpenProject up, our friends at SafeServer

14
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,320
are experts in digital transformation and hosting

15
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,280
solutions.

16
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,560
You can learn more at www.SafeServer.de.

17
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,880
Good folks.

18
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,440
So let's break down why OpenProject's

19
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,320
causing such a buzz.

20
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,480
It all starts with the fact that it's open source.

21
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:34,360
Exactly.

22
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,160
That means it's built on transparency, collaboration,

23
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,040
and often, cost savings.

24
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,520
Think of it like a community garden,

25
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,320
but for project management software.

26
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,360
That's a great analogy.

27
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,840
People contribute their time and expertise

28
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,320
to make the garden flourish, and everyone benefits.

29
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,000
But what really matters is, can it

30
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,760
help you grow your projects?

31
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,440
And OpenProject's got this impressive list of features.

32
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,920
We're talking Gantt charts for visualizing your project

33
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,440
timeline, Agile and Scrum support for those

34
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,760
who like to work in sprints, time tracking, budgeting,

35
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,080
even bug tracking and wikis.

36
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,080
It's like a Swiss Army knife for project managers.

37
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,760
I'm a big at Gantt charts.

38
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,400
Imagine seeing your entire project laid out visually

39
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,600
with each task, its duration, and how they all connect.

40
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,960
It's incredibly helpful for spotting potential bottlenecks

41
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,200
or dependencies you might have missed otherwise.

42
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,040
It's like having a roadmap for your project,

43
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,640
but instead of just streets, you see the entire landscape.

44
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,800
And speaking of different approaches,

45
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,720
you mentioned Agile and Scrum.

46
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,220
For those who are new to those terms,

47
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:30,400
could you give us a quick rundown?

48
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,200
Absolutely.

49
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Agile and Scrum are project management methodologies

50
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,480
that emphasize flexibility, collaboration,

51
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,160
and iterative progress.

52
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Instead of planning everything upfront,

53
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000
you break your project down into smaller chunks called sprints

54
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,880
and continuously adapt based on feedback and changing

55
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,600
priorities.

56
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,760
So instead of trying to climb a mountain all at once,

57
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,840
you set up base camps along the way.

58
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200
And OpenProject helps you manage those sprints, right?

59
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,120
Exactly.

60
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,880
It provides tools like Kanban boards,

61
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,400
where you can visually track the progress of tasks

62
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,600
within a sprint.

63
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,280
It's like having a virtual whiteboard,

64
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,960
where everyone can see what's happening

65
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,240
and contribute in real time.

66
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,800
That sounds way more engaging than just

67
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,240
staring at a spreadsheet.

68
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,160
But let's be honest, time tracking and budgeting

69
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720
aren't always the most exciting parts of project management.

70
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,480
True, but they're essential for keeping projects on track

71
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,480
and within budget.

72
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,120
For sure.

73
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Imagine you're running a marketing campaign.

74
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,320
With OpenProject, you can allocate a budget

75
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,280
to each task, track expenses in real time,

76
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800
and generate reports to see if you're on target.

77
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,280
That takes the guesswork out of it.

78
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,920
No more wondering where the money went

79
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,080
or if you're going to overspend.

80
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,160
And remember those bug tracking features you mentioned?

81
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:33,660
Yeah.

82
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,120
They're lifesavers for software development projects.

83
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Imagine having a centralized system

84
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520
where you can log bugs, assign them to developers,

85
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,240
track their progress, and keep everyone informed.

86
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160
So it's not just about managing tasks.

87
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,280
It's about managing the entire lifecycle of a project,

88
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,120
from the initial brainstorming to the final product launch

89
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,040
and everything in between.

90
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,560
Exactly.

91
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,320
And that's where the wiki feature comes in.

92
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,680
Think of it as a central knowledge base for your project.

93
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960
You can document processes, store important information,

94
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:02,480
and even create tutorials for new team members.

95
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,520
So no more digging through endless email chains

96
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,560
or trying to remember where that one crucial document is stored.

97
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,960
Everything is right there in the wiki.

98
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,360
And what's really cool is that because OpenProject

99
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,680
is open source, you can customize it

100
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,360
to fit your specific needs.

101
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,520
You're bringing us back to that open source advantage.

102
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,760
And I think that's where things get really interesting.

103
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840
It's not just about having access to the source code.

104
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,240
It's about having a community behind the software.

105
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:24,960
Absolutely.

106
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,880
It's like having a team of experts

107
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,120
who are constantly improving the tool, adding new features,

108
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,280
and helping each other out.

109
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,880
And for someone who's just starting out with OpenProject,

110
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,880
that community could be a valuable resource.

111
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Definitely.

112
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160
Imagine having a forum where you can ask questions,

113
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,480
get advice from experienced users,

114
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,880
and share your own insights.

115
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,560
It's like having a mentor on call 2047.

116
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Now, we've covered a lot of ground already,

117
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,880
but we haven't even talked about who's actually using OpenProject

118
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
and why they're choosing it over other options.

119
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,880
Let's dive into some real world examples.

120
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,680
Great idea.

121
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Let's see how OpenProject is being used in the wild.

122
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,800
We found testimonials from universities

123
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,880
using it for student collaboration,

124
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,120
boosting their productivity.

125
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,840
That makes sense.

126
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Universities often have diverse teams

127
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,760
working on complex projects, from research to event planning.

128
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,280
OpenProject could really help streamline their workflow.

129
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,720
And it's not just universities.

130
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Companies like Greenpeace are also using OpenProject,

131
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,640
and they're known for their commitment to sustainability

132
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,680
and transparency.

133
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,720
It seems like those values would line perfectly

134
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,440
with the open source philosophy.

135
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,000
What stood out to you from Greenpeace's experience?

136
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,800
They specifically mentioned valuing the flexibility

137
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560
and data security that comes with self-hosting

138
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,840
OpenProject on their own servers.

139
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,440
Control over their data is a big priority for them.

140
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,020
I can see why that would be important,

141
00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:39,600
especially for an organization dealing

142
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,160
with sensitive information.

143
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,240
But I'm really curious about this other testimonial.

144
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,880
We found a nonprofit managing a fleet of cargo bikes.

145
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,360
Who knew project management software could help with that?

146
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120
It's a great example of OpenProject's versatility.

147
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,040
This nonprofit found that OpenProject

148
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,040
helped streamline their entire workflow,

149
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,280
from maintenance scheduling to route planning.

150
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:00,720
So OpenProject isn't just for software developers

151
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:01,680
or big corporations.

152
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,280
It's really for anyone who wants to organize their work

153
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:05,620
and collaborate effectively.

154
00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:07,120
It's like having a digital command

155
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,320
center for your projects.

156
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,480
Exactly.

157
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,440
And speaking of different needs, OpenProject

158
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,760
offers a few different ways to experience the software.

159
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000
This is where things get even more interesting for someone

160
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,960
just starting out.

161
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,760
Choices are good.

162
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,360
Tell me more about these options.

163
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Well, there's the Community Edition,

164
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,160
which is completely free.

165
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,400
It's perfect for individuals, small teams,

166
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,960
or anyone who wants to test the waters before diving in.

167
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,840
That's a great way to get hands-on experience

168
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:30,960
and see if OpenProject is the right fit.

169
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,200
What if you need a bit more horsepower or support?

170
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,040
That's where the Enterprise Edition comes in.

171
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,640
It offers additional features, priority support,

172
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,600
and you can choose between self-hosting or cloud-based

173
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,160
hosting.

174
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,260
So if you're comfortable managing your own servers,

175
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:45,520
you can have complete control over your data.

176
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,840
But if you prefer a more hands-off approach,

177
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,440
you can let OpenProject handle the technical details.

178
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Exactly.

179
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,840
And they even offer a free trial of the Enterprise Edition

180
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:55,880
so you can really explore its capabilities

181
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,200
before making a decision.

182
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Having options is great, especially

183
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,120
when you're starting out.

184
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,560
You can start small and scale up as your needs grow.

185
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,080
But remember, OpenProject is more than just software.

186
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,280
It's a community.

187
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,180
And for someone new to the platform,

188
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:10,280
that community can be incredibly valuable.

189
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:10,800
Absolutely.

190
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,280
Think of it as a network of like-minded individuals

191
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,960
who are passionate about project management and open source

192
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:16,760
software.

193
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,360
They have an active GitHub repository

194
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000
where you can explore the code, contribute to development,

195
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,320
and connect with other users.

196
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,720
It's like a virtual workshop where

197
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,960
everyone's collaborating to build something amazing.

198
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,680
And they also have a vibrant community forum.

199
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,200
Imagine having a space where you can ask questions,

200
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,320
get advice from experienced users,

201
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,240
and share your own insights.

202
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,960
It's like having a support group for project managers.

203
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,320
And since you're the type who loves to learn and grow,

204
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Open Project offers plenty of opportunities for that.

205
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,080
You can contribute to the documentation,

206
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,480
translate the software into different languages,

207
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,160
or even help develop new features.

208
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,560
What's amazing is that you can be

209
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,000
a part of shaping the future of this tool

210
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,160
while deepening your own understanding of project

211
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:55,920
management.

212
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:56,600
It's a win-win.

213
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,260
But let's get back to the software itself.

214
00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:59,640
We've talked about the big picture.

215
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,720
But I'm curious about some of the specific features

216
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,520
that make Open Project so powerful.

217
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,160
Sure, we've already touched on Gantt charts and Kanban boards.

218
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,040
But there's so much more to explore.

219
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,000
One feature that I find incredibly useful

220
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,440
is the Team Planner.

221
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,320
OK, I'm intrigued.

222
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Tell me more about the Team Planner.

223
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,740
It lets you visually assign tasks

224
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:19,160
to team members using a weekly or biweekly calendar view.

225
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,320
Imagine being able to see who's working on what and when all

226
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,080
in one place.

227
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,880
It makes it so much easier to manage workloads and avoid

228
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,520
conflicts.

229
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,840
So no more accidentally assigning to people

230
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,220
the same task or overloading someone who's already

231
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:32,400
juggling multiple deadlines.

232
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Exactly.

233
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,360
And if you need to track time and costs,

234
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Open Project has robust features for that as well.

235
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,440
You can track the time spent on individual tasks,

236
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,360
generate detailed reports, and create

237
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,520
budgets for your projects.

238
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,400
That's essential for any project manager

239
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,560
who wants to stay on top of their game.

240
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,000
What about issue tracking?

241
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,920
Things inevitably go wrong in projects.

242
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,460
How does Open Project handle that?

243
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:54,920
They have a fantastic issue tracking system.

244
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Imagine this.

245
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,120
A bug pops up in your software, and you

246
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,960
can log it directly in Open Project,

247
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,360
assign it to a developer, set a priority level,

248
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720
and even track its progress until it's resolved.

249
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,000
So it's like having a dedicated system for squashing

250
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,040
those pesky bugs before they become major problems.

251
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,280
And you can even integrate Open Project with other tools

252
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,080
like GitHub to streamline your development workflow, right?

253
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:16,720
Exactly.

254
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,840
It's all about making your life as a project manager easier

255
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,520
and helping your team collaborate more effectively.

256
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040
And let's not forget about the built-in wikis and forums.

257
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680
They're fantastic for centralizing project knowledge

258
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,400
and fostering communication.

259
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360
It sounds like Open Project really covers all the bases.

260
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,320
But with so many features and options,

261
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
it can be hard to know where to start, especially for someone

262
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,160
new to the platform.

263
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,660
What advice would you give to someone who's just starting out

264
00:08:40,660 --> 00:08:41,720
with Open Project?

265
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,040
That's a great question.

266
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,800
I think the key is to start small.

267
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,480
Don't try to learn everything at once.

268
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,080
Pick a few key features that are relevant to your need

269
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,720
and focus on mastering those.

270
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,160
That's great advice.

271
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,800
Don't get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options.

272
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,320
Start with what you need and gradually expand

273
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,360
your knowledge.

274
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,720
And remember, the community is there to support you

275
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,680
every step of the way.

276
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:02,440
Absolutely.

277
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,080
Don't be afraid to ask questions.

278
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Share your experiences and learn from others.

279
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,600
The Open Project community is a wealth

280
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,040
of knowledge and support.

281
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,520
You know, it's inspiring to see how Open Project walks

282
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,600
the walk when it comes to open source values.

283
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,480
Oh, yeah.

284
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,720
It's not just about making the software free.

285
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,740
It's about creating a culture of transparency

286
00:09:19,740 --> 00:09:21,040
and collaboration.

287
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,320
They have this active GitHub repository

288
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,080
where you can track every little change, every bug fix,

289
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,960
every new feature.

290
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,000
It's all out in the open.

291
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,080
They even encourage users to contribute.

292
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:31,640
That's great.

293
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Whether it's reporting bugs, suggesting improvements,

294
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,600
or even writing code.

295
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,320
That's amazing.

296
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,480
It really embodies the idea that good software

297
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,800
is a collective effort.

298
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Right.

299
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,640
And this community spirit extends beyond the developers,

300
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,360
too.

301
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,280
Their forum is incredibly active.

302
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:46,800
I bet.

303
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,440
With users helping each other, sharing tips,

304
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,080
just generally being supportive.

305
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,040
It sounds like a really welcoming space

306
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,760
for newcomers.

307
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,280
It is.

308
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,680
And Open Project is always looking for feedback

309
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:58,800
from the community.

310
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,220
They want to know how people are using the software, what's

311
00:10:01,220 --> 00:10:03,520
working, what's not, and how they can make it better.

312
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,800
That responsiveness is something I really appreciate

313
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,160
in a software company.

314
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,520
It shows they actually care about their users.

315
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,360
They're not just trying to sell a product.

316
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,880
They're building a tool that empowers teams

317
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,840
to do their best work.

318
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,040
And that's what really impressed me about Open Project.

319
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040
It's more than just software.

320
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,040
It's a philosophy.

321
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,280
A philosophy of openness, collaboration,

322
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,160
and continuous improvement.

323
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,460
And with a bit of effort, you can take that philosophy

324
00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:27,680
and apply it to your own project.

325
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:28,280
Exactly.

326
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,320
Whether you're a seasoned project manager

327
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,440
or just starting out, Open Project

328
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,400
offers the tools and the support you need to succeed.

329
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,240
So to recap, Open Project is a powerful, flexible, and free

330
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,920
project management tool built on the principles of open source.

331
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
It's got a robust feature set, a vibrant community,

332
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,040
and a company that's truly committed to its users.
