OpenProject 16.0 adds meeting backlogs and internal comments to enhance project management

OpenProject 16.0 introduces new meeting backlogs designed to simplify meeting preparation and follow-up. Users can now use the Agenda backlog for one-time meetings to store unscheduled topics, and the Series backlog for recurring meetings. The Series backlog enables teams to track ongoing points across all sessions and move items between occurrences, eliminating the need to manually copy or recreate agenda items.

Following this, a new My time tracking module gives each user a personal interface to manage time entries. Upon administrator activation, users can view, edit, and log work hours in either a structured list or a calendar view, improving both tracking and oversight. Enterprise users on the Professional plan and above gain two notable enhancements: internal comments for work packages and automatic generation of work package subjects using predefined patterns.

In addition, displaying work package graphs on the project overview page is now available in the Community version, offering greater visibility previously limited to Enterprise users. Each Enterprise subscription tier now includes a clearly defined set of add-ons, clarifying available features alongside service and support distinctions.
