Project management for internal IT projects and tasks
-
I am looking for a tool that can be used for internal projects with the following features:
- Create project, set milestones and target dates
- create individual tasks and subtasks, assign to 1 or more techs
- Analyse the overall tasks completion/performance of teams
- Generate high-level reports for management
- Add notes, comments etc.
- Self-hosted and free if possible.
Part of our O365, we have MS planner, been using it for few weeks and not really happy with that (mentioned this on another thread in ML)

We use Asana. I don't love it. I'm not sure that I even like it. But it is SO much better than Jira, that's for sure.
-
I’ve used Asana and Nozbe. Both seemed fine, but they are SaaS. I don’t think they have self hosted options.
OpenProject looks interesting https://www.openproject.org/
Another option that’s kind of out of the box is to use GitLab. The issue tracking is pretty nice and with a subscription you can do burn down charts and some other cool stuff with your project milestones.

Not self-hosted, but look at (1) Teamwork and (2) MeisterTask.

I've tried Asana and didn't really like that either

I have not. I mainly use Outlook and use its task feature for myself.

Open project looks good as well. Need to test these out!

@ambarishrh I started using SaltStack to track projects, but it won't meet your self-hosted and custom reports needs.

How do you track that in SaltStack?

The helpdesk tickets. Not ideal, but much better than nothing.

I’m assuming you mean Sodium Suite.

Yep, FFS me, get simple names right might help.

BTW I think I read if you wanted a more advanced Planner, it is Project, which I think is still a thing.

Ah ha, lol. Cool.

I just started using http://2-plan.com with one of my customers this week. It seems pretty good. Looks really robust (been using it for 3 days so not really that familiar as of yet).

My new workplace uses Jira

We used that at the last job, it's horrible. Super slow and complex to use. Requires way too much training.

I haven't really used it that much yet, but I'm part of the team that's going to decide whether on not we're going to get Jira Service Desk.
