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!
It will definitely fall into the category of “part of a larger collaboration ecosystem”, but Gitlab checks all your boxes : it’s open-source, installable on premise, allows groups, with their own discussions, handling uploads… And then, it can also host git repositories. 😅 They made an insane work on workflows so you can pretty much customize the tool how you want, including executing automated scripts when whatever event happens.
