Ask HN: What project management tool do you use for software development?

4 pointsby messutiedalmost 4 years ago
Our small team is quickly outgrowing Trello boards, so I&#x27;m looking for good options for software project management tools.<p>In the past I used to love PivotalTracker, but it seems to be a bit outdated and lacking some features, like the ability to have custom statuses, as I&#x27;d like to have statuses like: &quot;In staging&quot;, &quot;Tested in staging&quot;, &quot;deployed to production&quot; (interested to hear how you approach this steps).<p>ClickUp and Clubhouse look like the best candidates from what I&#x27;ve evaluated so far, and they both have the added value of being flexible enough that could be used to manage the other company projects outside of development.<p>I&#x27;d rather don&#x27;t got with Jira as it (in my experience) can be slow, and feels like overloaded for a small team.<p>What software do you use for managing your software projects? how happy are you with it?

We use a combination of Codecks[0] which is like Trello but with more features for software dev. It imports Trello, too. Their focus is game developers but we&#x27;ve been using it for our business software dev...<p>For heavier documentation that doesn&#x27;t really belong on a kanban card, we use our own product, Miki[1].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codecks.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codecks.io</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;miki.mimix.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;miki.mimix.io</a>

I&#x27;ve seen JIRA installations that struggled to load pages (wait 45 seconds to create a ticket) but the JIRA where I work now (20 or so people) is hosted by Atlassian and there is nothing wrong with it.

Try the Linear app. It&#x27;s simple and does the job quite well.
