Berlin, November 13, 2024 – OpenProject announces the release of version 15.0. This latest version brings a fresh and engaging update to how teams collaborate, introducing emoji reactions in the new Activity tab, along with several enhancements designed to streamline communication and boost productivity.

Emoji reactions: bringing fun and engagement to work 💬🙂

With the release of OpenProject 15.0, users can now add a bit of fun to their project communications through emoji reactions. 🎉 In the Activity tab of a work package, team members can express agreement, appreciation, or disapproval with just a click, choosing from a set of eight emojis. This new feature enhances interaction without generating additional notifications, making it a quick and efficient way to respond to updates or comments.
