Ranked by Discovery Score
OpenProject is the open source alternative. It covers traditional project management (waterfall, Gantt) and agile (Scrum boards, backlogs) in one tool.
Open source Jira/Linear alternative
Plane is the open source alternative to Jira, covering sprints, kanban boards, and roadmaps without the Jira prices or the Linear waitlist. It's what Jira should have been: clean UI, fast, and you can self-host it.
Including when one of these alternatives ships a major update. Free.
