What do you prefer to Jira? At a former workplace we used Gitlab, which was a pleasant suite to use. These days we use Atlassian and often find myself incredibly frustrated by their products
Hi - (creator of subtask.co here) - Noticed a few signups coming from hn and thought I'd pop in. We're still in an early beta phase now and so pricing is still TBD - we're happy to have any input on what would work for folks though.
I did a six month contract at Apple Retail Software Engineering back in 2013, and was introduced to Pivotal Tracker. I always thought that tool worked pretty well.
I've heard good things about Rally.
Trello was good and simple, back when it wasn't owned by Atlassian (the makers of JIRA).
I have fond memories of RT, but it seems like it has largely been forgotten. It was very simple. One of the best things about it was that it could largely be used via email. The web interface was very fast and efficient compared to JIRA. One major downside: Its search feature was not great, so I would usually search in my mail client.
- You can break down tasks into subtasks and those subtasks into subtasks themselves, etc
- You can dynamically group task columns by who's working on them, what is their status, what is their goal, etc
- You can arrange what's to be done on an effort-value grid, which helps immensely when choosing what to take on next
