PHProjekt is based on a module system where you add the modules that you need for your specific project or task. This simple system allows you to make the perfect tool for your team, and you can be certain it won't be other complicated or include redundant features that simply waste memory and time. PHProjekt is, as the name suggests, based on a PHP and MySQL system, and as such is a web based program, and is normally found installed on the intranet of companies.
PHProjekt has a project structure tree that can be subdivided into sub-projects, and unlimited tasks can be added to these, not necessarily to your teams delight. PHProjekt contains one of the most advanced calendar modules I have seen of free project management tools, with options to send reminders by email and SMS if available, as well as being able to add comments to event and privatize or publicize events and meetings. It also features a resource reserving system, this should make your team more efficient and productive, and allow you to know who's using what, when.
As with most other free project management tools, PHProjekt includes the normal contact/team manager modules, request and support trackers as well as a note system. Unusually though it also includes time card systems, a feature many administrators are keen to get, and also an optional inbuilt mail server management system, giving you complete control. It also has a voting module, allowing your team to vote on issues about the project, allowing the administrator to find good times for meetings, deadlines even budgets. PHProjekt is not perfect however, its modular set up means that it can be quite complicated to set up, and some modules that you would expect might not exist or are incompatible with your system.
