Team Project management solution (lemmy.ml)

Looking for a team collaboration project management solution, basically:

  • scrum project management with kanban (something like jira but probably simpler will do)
  • communication connected to project management (something like slack)
  • file repository (like a nextcloud drive)
  • calendar with caldav.

Data sovereignty and libre software is a must.

At first we thought nextcloud would do all this, and it does but the kanban app (deck) is kinda limiting (only 3 hierarchy levels and no swimlanes)

So we can connect nextcloud with openproject but as openproject has some features only in enterprise plan, was wondering for other solutions... Could be one integrated solution or maybe better following UNIX philosophy and having separate small pieces of software that do their work fine and can connect via API/Webhooks? Like a good kanban (wekan, vikunja?) Connected to a matrix server (continuwity?) And maybe also connected to nextcloud or other online collaborative drive?

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks!!

Nextcloud does all of this really well.

[–] geoma@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

yes, certainly. In fact I love nextcloud... but Deck is so limited... Hope there would be a more robust kanban/project management solution... well, that's OpenProject I guess and we can integrate it with the NextCloud App for that https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/integration_openproject

I guess we could even do https://gist.github.com/markasoftware/f5b2e55a2c2e3abb1f9eefcdf0bfff45

All do the kanban stuff, I haven't really looked at slack integration though. There's also plane.so but they lock down the free version pretty hard.

~~It looks like https://www.kendomanager.com/ bills itself as a free alternative to Basecamp. That might be along the lines of what you want, but I haven't tried it myself.~~

Upvote for openproject

[–] white_nrdy@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

Annoying part of OP is it paywalls SSO

[–] Luckyfriend222@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

As others have mentioned : Openproject. You can intergrate with Nextcloud to keep files stored in a file manager, and keep project management side lightweight.

Doesn't look amazing at first glance, but actually light weight and flexible.

[–] geoma@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

the thing here is being able to integrate with file sharing and team chat...

[–] somegeek@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Keep in mind, check the solution's licensing so they don't suddenly start putting things behind paywall. Use software that is truly FOSS (GPL for example) with no exceptions.

Saying this because I'm bit by mattermost's head-assery.

[–] geoma@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

yes, totally... nowadays the web is full of "open core" pieces of software. Found this website to look info about this things: https://isitreallyfoss.com/projects/mattermost/

[–] Wawe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I currently use Nextcloud for this thing. It checks all other boxes, but for scrum management Deck is only option and it is super bad. I think OpenProject has some Nextcloud integrations, but I don't like OpenProjects pricing model so have not tried it.

I really hope there is was betters apps for this.

[–] geoma@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

ok seems like we are on the same place

[–] thefactremains@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Taiga seems most appropriate

Plane could also work if you could get by without action boards (they are paywalled)

[–] geoma@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Taiga could be integrated with matrix chat, but, what about files/drive?
