ZenTao
ZenTao is an open-source project management system built around Scrum, Waterfall, and Kanban, with a strong emphasis on software R&D workflows. Developed by EasyCorp (Easysoft), it covers product/backlog management, sprints and tasks, bug tracking, test/QA management, document management, CI, and to-do management in one tool. The free Community edition is dual-licensed under ZPL and AGPL and self-hosts on a PHP stack; paid Pro and Biz editions add advanced features and support.
Our verdict
A genuinely all-in-one open-source R&D management tool that bakes in test/QA and bug tracking alongside Scrum/Waterfall/Kanban, with a permissive dual ZPL/AGPL Community edition. Held back by a dense, dated UI, documentation that skews toward Chinese origins, and feature gating in Pro/Biz editions.
