Redmine is a free and open-source collaboration tool. The Redmine allows users to keep projects and related IT services under management. In Redmine you can use wikis, forums, time-tracking software, and flexible access control based on roles for each project. Additionally, with Redmine, a calendar and Gantt charts can be implemented for a visual representation of projects and their due dates.
This project management software integrates with various version control systems and includes a repository browser and a diff viewer. Thanks to a developed system of add-ons and extensions, Redmine plugins can perform a wide range of management tasks.
Beget VPS with pre-installed Redmine allows you to start working on a project quickly due to the automatic deployment simultaneously with the creation of a new server. No additional configuration of the workflow management system is required.
