Loading ...Project Management is the life for IT services firms. Without strong project management processes and good enterprise project management tools, delivery will suffer. I have seen that major outsourcing firms such as TCS, Infosys, CTS and others have their internal project management tools to manage delivery. However for smaller IT services firms (75-150 ppl) developing internal tools is quite expensive. Nor can they go with established 3rd party tools (again expensive). Are there any open sources alternatives for this? Are there any enterprise open source project management tools that are conducive for IT/ professional services? (I have seen many tools that are desktop based). It would be great if someone can shed light on this.

I suggest one of the following. All are free and open source and all are web based:
1) http://www.projectpier.com/
PHP/MySQL based generic project management tool. simple light weight like bascamp
2) http://trac.edgewall.org/
Python/SQLite based generic project management + integrated wiki.
3) http://www.flyspray.org
PHP/MySQL based issue tracker geared towards software development
3) http://www.streber-pm.org/
Again PHP/MySQL based generic project manegement + wiki.
how abt basecamp.. or (back home) deskaway.com?
check out dotproject for PM ..
testlink for testing purposes, mantis for bug tracking ..
let us know if these work out for you ..
Hi Vamsi – We use a tool for which we pay US$2.5 per user per month. The tool is for time management, project costing/accounting, simple project and resource management, and is available over the internet. Thanks.
