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 used to self host an application called Feng Office that I’m pretty sure can do all of that and more. Projects and tasks within that project, time tracking. Comments on every thing from files to time entries. It really was a handy little tool but I think it was just too robust and it didn’t catch on. Search for a demo site or a video with feature details and hopefully it satisfies your requirements!
