Redmine is a free , web-based project management software . It can be used for user and project management, discussion forums, wikis , ticket management or document storage. Redmine is used in several large projects around the world , including the issue tracking system of the Ruby programming language and the TYPO3 developer portal .

Functions
Redmine offers the following features:
- Project planning and management
- Redmine is a complete project planning and management tool. It enables the planning of a project down to the level of the individual tasks. Plugins exist to support different project procedures.

- Multi-tenancy
- Any number of projects, sub-projects and users can be managed within a Redmine installation. Users can have different authorizations and roles for each project. Roles, authorizations and workflows can be freely defined. Project modules ( Wiki , Repository , Issue Tracking System , ...) can be activated for each project. Dependent projects can be managed as sub-projects. Projects, users, tickets, etc. can be supplemented by freely configurable and then searchable or filterable fields.
