What is Worklenz?

Worklenz brings planning, collaboration and delivery into one place for teams. Projects can be viewed as lists, boards or Gantt charts, people are allocated through resource planning and capacity management, and time is logged directly on tasks for reports. It aims to cover what teams need without the bloat of larger suites. The interface is translated into more than 30 languages.

Good fit if

  • You manage several projects and need to balance people's workload across them.
  • You want time tracking and reporting built into project management.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want a lighter install: the compose setup runs about eight services, including PostgreSQL and MinIO. Kaneo is smaller.
  • You want a mature, enterprise-proven tool: OpenProject.

Before you adopt it

Worklenz is AGPL-3.0, and contributors sign a CLA. The company runs a paid cloud version, and its core developer writes most of the code.
