Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Orangescrum you could make: tasks, kanban boards, Gantt & timelines, time tracking and issue tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $312 a year. Orangescrum is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Tasks, kanban boards, Gantt & timelines, time tracking and issue tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, GitHub, GitLab and Google Drive among them.
What this rests on. Orangescrum’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
