People have asssumed you're asking "what PM app do you recommend" but you're not - you're asking if engineering managers use one to drive daily activity. Good question :)

Every business works differently, so all PM apps in their default config will match 80% of what you need, for 80% of businesses.

If a manager implements an app without customising it to the business, users will be frustrated, directionless and end up hating the app - see user comments in this thread!

Bespoking it to the business allows users to do their jobs with minimal interaction AND WITHOUT MICROMANAGEMENT.

Finally, without management buy-in (that's you!), without you actually using the inputs and outputs of it, it will fail - lead by example.

Hope this helps :)
