With OpenProject, the District Office Enzkreis facilitates the information exchange between the project team members. It also uses it to visualize the project's timeline.

OpenProject helped me to visualize my project's timeline and have a better overview. Also, all my team members were able to have access to all project information at any time which reduced the coordination for me.
OpenProject for the implementation of a law and for personnel development
The District Office Enzkreis is using OpenProject for different types of projects as it offers a variety of features and adapts to each project.
One example is the implementation of the federal participation act (‘Bundesteilhabegesetz’) where several people from within the District Office Enzkreis but also external parties formed part of the project team.
The Enzkreis also used OpenProject for personnel development and the accompanying change management. Project members were invited to share information and participate and the whole process was made more interactive.
Overall, for the District Office Enzkreis, OpenProject contributes to a better visualization of projects which leads to a better structure and overview. Also, project members have access to information at any time and exchange more information as before as it is facilitated by the web-based project management system.
Visualization
Creating a great overview over the project timeline with a Gantt chart that also shows all dependencies.
Information exchange
The use of one web-based system that contains all information for everyone at any time makes collaboration much more efficient.
Efficient meetings
Meetings have become much easier by organizing via OpenProject. Your agenda and minutes are done in the same form during the meeting.
Communication
Notify your team member about something directly, just use @name to mention them.
Work packages
Prioritize and visualize tasks.
Landratsamt Enzkreis creates tasks centrally in OpenProject. Responsibilities, status and priority as well as organization-specific information are directly visible and can be transparently tracked by the team.
Gantt charts
Creation and management of project plans.
In the Gantt charts, a detailed collaborative project planning is done for the time-defined work packages, allowing a great overview.
Meetings
Maintenance of agendas and minutes.
Planning meetings by jointly creating agendas and sharing results in minutes with all participants is a crucial factor for project success. Minutes are done within the meeting which saves time.
