What it does
Redmine is a project-management web app with configurable projects and issue tracking. Project pages can include issues, roadmaps, activity, wiki, files, forums, and repository views. The project identifies GNU GPL version 2 as its license.
Create a project and define work as issues, then use roadmap and activity pages to follow progress. Redmine’s guide documents the project areas; the overview describes the app as configurable and self-hostable.
