    Project management tools can become expensive and rigid as teams add boards, sprints, issue types, roles, and reporting. Vendor lock-in grows when years of product history live inside a closed SaaS workflow.

    Agile teams need enough structure to manage delivery without forcing every team into one vendor's process. Self-hosted project management gives organizations more control over data, integrations, and long-term access.
