What's the leanest, simplest product management tool?

Question

I'm looking for a hassle-free, simple UI, product management tool that:

- Doesn't attempt to solve too many problems.
- Easy to use, clean simple UI.
- Allows to input a product feature, milestones, and who's working on what.
- Simply engineered: no need for own hosting / weird setups.
- Doesn't reinvent the wheel with metaphors or complex processes.

Context:
Solutions I've tried that I found over-engineered: Asana, Jira, Basecamp.
Solutions I've tried that I found under-engineered: Trello, Quip checklists/sheets, Google docs/sheets

If you have tried Trello and found it lacking in any way, Zenkit might be what you're looking for. It takes the kanban board approach and adds a bunch of ways to visualize the same information - including a new mindmap one.

Trello is like a blank slate - you can mould it to work exactly the way you need - but with just enough tools built-in to facilitate communication once you have the structure in place. I've used it for everything from managing my personal blogging schedule to managing multiple projects across a team of 10 designers and dozens of clients.

I'm not sure what you mean by under-engineered. It seems like a fairly stable app with just enough functionality.

Its lean, clean and easy to use project management and collaboration tool and the pricing is very affordable as well. We have been using it for almost two years and I am a big admirer.

I can definitely vote Drag as the simplest tool out there. Picture Trello, in your email. It's even simpler too - made to manage your email and inbox your life.

Try Hygger.io. This all-in-one product management and project management tool looks really competitive and full of power. Using its functions, product managers can solve their daily tasks, plan and schedule their strategies with a roadmap (that actually can be shared with team members), prioritize product features and score them with the help of useful frameworks, and collaborate with their colleagues easily.
