Project management is a market that defies solving.

Every company (and person!) has their own workflows and requirements, or there'd be no way for businesses to differentiate themselves on operational efficiency. It's possible to encode those workflows into very flexible systems like Jira, but as is usually the case, that comes at a large cost in design and ease of use.

This creates a market for thousands of small project management solutions, each a well-designed, slimmed down service, often equivalent to a particular customization of ClearCase or Asana but far easier to set up and use.
