Top 10 Open Source Web-Based Project Management Software
This is an user contributed article.
Project management software (Software de Gerenciamento de Projetos) is not just for managing software based project. It can be used for variety of other tasks (tarefas) too. The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives.
A web-based project management software can be accessed through an intranet or WAN / LAN using a web browser. You don’t have to install any other software on the system. The software can be easy of use with access control features (multi-user). I use project management software for all of our projects (for e.g. building a new cluster farm) for issue / bug-tracking, calender, gantt charts, email notification and much more.
Obviously I’m not the only user, the following open source software is used by some of the biggest research organizations and companies world wild.
For example, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses track software or open source project such as lighttpd / phpbb use redmine software to keep track of their projects.

Hi there
I have one simple-ERP tool to you to have a look at. It consists of CRM, Project Management, Accounting and Finance, HRMS and many other business tools. The beneficial side of using this system is affordable price and that it also has discounts. Talking about the Customer Supporting team which is just great and the system is also integrated with Google apps, I would add only one thing that they are improving their system day by day. If you are interested in it then go by Workforcetrack
