Redmine is an open source, web-based project management and defect tracking tool. It uses calendars and Gantt charts to assist in visualizing projects and progress. It also supports multi project management. Redmine is a free and open source software solution that provides integrated project management functions, problem tracking, and support for multiple version control options.
Although the commercial project survey tool like IBM Rational Team Concert has become very powerful, if you want to stick to a free and open source solution, you may find Redmine is a useful Scrum and agile choice. Because the design of Redmine is greatly influenced by Rrac, their software packages have many similar features.
Redmine is built on the Ruby on Rails framework and supports cross platform and multiple databases.
