European project management software
Plan work in tools hosted under EU rules
Project management software is the shared workspace where a team breaks work into tasks, assigns owners, sets deadlines and watches progress. Boards, lists, Gantt charts and backlogs each suit different ways of working, and most tools support several. Time tracking, calendars, file attachments and comments keep the discussion attached to the work rather than scattered through email.
Over a few years a project tool becomes an archive of client names, internal decisions and staff performance, all of it personal data in part. OpenProject, awork and Stackfield are European products, and OpenProject can be self hosted. A European alternative to a US project management tool keeps that archive in the EU, so check the export format before your history grows large.
