I'd highly recommend installing this Redmine plugin since it gives you the feature of checklists (which you might be used from other project management tools.).

Redmine is a free and open source, web-based project management and issue tracking tool. It allows users to manage multiple projects and associated subprojects.

Forks[edit]
Following concerns with the way the feedback and patches from the Redmine community were being handled[9] a group of Redmine developers created a fork of the project in February 2011.[10] The fork was initially named Bluemine, but changed to ChiliProject.[11] After the leader of the fork moved on from ChiliProject in 2012[12] and development got stuck,[13] the project was officially discontinued in February 2015.[14]
Another fork of ChiliProject called OpenProject is being actively worked on.[15]
