[Question] Simple task management for small teams (lemmy.ml)

submitted 2 years ago by dogmuffins@lemmy.ml to c/selfhost@lemmy.ml

I'm part of a small team that collaborates on projects. There's up to 50 projects in the queue or in progress at a time, all projects are very similar to one another.

We basically need some kind of task management platform with the following features:

tasks need to be grouped by project
we need to be able to discuss tasks
we need to be able to attach a few files (mostly screen shots) to discussions

That's it really, but everything I've looked at seems to be either a kanban board which just doesn't work for us, or a small part of a larger project management / collaboration ecosystem which is kind of overwhelming.

We're presently using Asana, but while it does what we need IMO it does it very poorly - better suited to teams working on fewer more variable projects.

Of course I'd prefer self hosted & open source but that's not critically important.

Any suggestions welcome!

I think Vikunja can do all that.

This looks really, really, great. Thank you!

There's focalboard (if you can get past the weird license): https://www.focalboard.com/

Or you can use Gitea: https://gitea.io/ It's mostly meant for collaboration on source code but it has a ticketing system with boards.

I did have a look at this, right on their front page it says "focal board is now mattermost boards" or something, this one in particular really does look like part of a larger ecosystem. Even the github repo is being retired as it's being merged into mattermost server or something.

This looks great actually. Thank you!

Good luck, that does not exist.

Tools for project management are so specific that anyone who wants to use them needs to change their workflow or create their own tool.

If it was so simple as you told us you could make it in few days. We all know it is not.

So adapt to some specific one, or use google spreadsheets like the rest of us mortals.
