Matt Butler · Accepted Answer

The best choice for Agile development teams that work with GitHub Issues

Kishore Bhargava · Answer

It's a Trello better than Trello! Superb implementation, easy to use and does everything and more than you can hope for.

Wren Handman · Answer

I use ZenHub at my office and it's so insanely easy to use, I love it.

Pavel Kukhnavets · Answer

I vote for Hygger.io. The product management platform looks really helpful for Agile projects and scalable for large and complex projects. Hygger helps companies to deal with a constant stream of ideas by capturing, organizing and prioritizing them as well as tracking their further development. It allows companies to save time and money by not spending them on the development of wrong ideas for wrong customers.

Bryce Bladon · Answer

I've been using ZenHub for about two years now. The native GitHub integration and live data is crucial to any team-driven product development. Plus, ZenHub's features are purpose-driven and useful, as opposed to the unnecessary or complicated additions a lot of competitors add in service 'evolving' the product. ZenHub doesn't do everything (and I consider that a good thing), but it does everything you need it to and it does it well.

I've spent a lot of time messing around with different project mgmt software (as I'm sure many people have). I have two takeaways from my own search:

1. I liked Asana the best. It has great ability to scale with the level of depth you need if you are a subscriber and have access to their "Custom Fields" feature. This lets you customize things you need to track per project. For example, on dev projects, we track business impact and effort to develop, but on operations projects, we track hardware needed and launch date. Asana is easy to pick up and understand for people who don't want to get too deep, but it's also capable of being very in depth.

2. Don't spend TOO much time evaluating project management tools. It's easy to get lost in the rabbit hole of trying a new tool and expecting it to solve all your project mgmt. and prioritization problems, when realistically you will still have the exact same problems once you switch because it's still your team using the tool. A tool can definitely help, but remember to actually get work done too! I only say all this because it's a mistake I've made myself.

Good luck!

An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) like Recruitee is crucial to hiring collaboratively, especially with remote teams. It's not general project management software, but I hope it helps!

Jeffrey Fermin · Answer

A developer-friendly project management tool with sleek UI and useful reports.

Dong-gyu Choi · Answer

This is so cool to create tasks with images. There will be no more convenient tools especially as for UI/UX issue reporting. Smartphone catured images can be commented in 3 seconds on PC and PC-captured images can be pasted by Ctrl+V directly while Trello, Jira, Asana doesn't have this feature.

Arseny Stefanov · Answer

It lets you automate the Measure step in the Build-Measure-Learn cycle. You basically manage your tasks and data in the same place.

Small teams, Ad hoc things, simple workflow? Trello is what you need.

Guillaume Flandre · Answer

A must-have when working with developers.

Lucas G · Answer

We recently switched from Assembla to ClubHouse. Great improvement. With pretty nifty Github hooks and full Markdown support, it made our lives a little better.

Mark Bonne · Answer

Jira has fully customizable workflows/boards, but that's also the pitfall.

Dennis Hansen · Answer

We have a team of 5 and still find JIRA the most useful.

Manjunath Iyer · Answer

Large projects, huge head count, complex workflow, establish a process? You should use JIRA Software.

Sam Rye · Answer

One of the problems I've seen is scaling Agile beyond a single product in bigger orgs, or single teams working on multiple products.

Favro give a layered approach which allows those sitting on multiple teams to tune into what is important

Fouad · Answer

This gives me the ability to apply scrum processes by using timesheets, time estimations, backlogs, and kanban boards. It's extremely user friendly and so far the best task and project management tool I've ever used.

David Adamu · Answer

If you'd be tracking number of hours worked for each team member, then Worklogs is for you. Let's everyone log the number of hours worked right in Slack.

Ramon · Answer

Mick · Answer

I've used JIRA for years and it's the best I've found for Agile working. I've tried others as they pop up but I always go back to JIRA. It's useable straight out of the box or infinitely customisable. Awesome!

Joe Daniel · Answer

Ali Khalil · Answer

Hey Joshua, 
I have fiddled around with TOOOoooo many project management apps, from simple excel sheets, Trello, slack, Microsoft Project Manager, BaseCamp 1,2,3 etc...

I finally landed on Teamwork.com, where you can create multiple projects, assign tasks, link Google Drive and Dropbox for large files.

Lately, they have included the KunBan grid (like Trello). So, I believe that this tool encompasses all the needs.

It may not be as intuitive as Trello, but it definitely has more features....

Sam Rye · Answer

Trello is pretty great for small teams

David Miller · Answer

I use ProProfs Project. I have been using this software for about 1.5 years now and it definitely makes it really easy to manage my agile teams effortlessly. The software offers features like time tracking, email notifications, task comments making it is easier to meet deadlines, communicate with my team, track their work progress, and all-in-all manage both the project and team on one platform! Also, I can generate accurate reports and invoices and share it with clients on the go. Highly recommend it!

Vineet Gupta · Answer

We are currently using ProProfs project and have absolutely no qualms about it.

Everything looks so neat and organized that we never have to chase people over email about project updates or progress.

Adding the required stakeholders in the beginning of the project does the job for us and keep our agile teams on track throughout project lifecycle.

Reports are another highlight that we fetch every fortnight to check the project standings and decide the next course of action.
