What is it?

ZenTao is an all-in-one project management platform that covers the main PM process, from product and project management to quality management, documentation, organization and office management. It is built around three methodologies: Scrum, Waterfall and Kanban.

The system separates the concepts of product, project and QA so that product owners, developers and testers can coordinate while keeping their own workflows. Stories, tasks and bugs are the core units that teams use to track issues and improvements.

The open-source edition is licensed under AGPL or ZPL. Commercial editions, ZenTao Biz and ZenTao Max, add operations, OA, feedback, CMMI-oriented process control and related features, and a SaaS offering called ZenTao Cloud is also available.
