What Are Some Alternatives To Jira?
Introduction
Jira is one of the most popular issue-tracking and project management platforms available today. But it’s not the only option, and in some cases, you may find that an alternative suits your needs better than Jira. In this article, we’ll discuss some alternatives to Jira, so you can choose the right platform for your team or organization.
1. Redmine
Redmine is an open-source alternative to Jira that has been around since 2007. It’s a flexible and powerful tool that can be used for project management, customer relationship management (CRM), issue tracking, and much more. It offers support for multiple projects and users, as well as flexible access control and role-based user permissions. Redmine also features built-in email notifications, task lists with drag-and-drop tasks, time tracking capabilities, calendars, RSS feeds, Gantt charts, and wiki pages so that you can track progress on your projects efficiently.
2. Trello
Trello is another project management platform that uses the Kanban method of task management. Each card on a Trello board represents an individual task or piece of work, and the cards progress through different stages in order to achieve completion. You can add due dates, labels, and comments for each card so everyone stays informed about what’s going on at every stage of the process. Plus, thanks to Trello’s integrations with other tools like Evernote and Giphy, it’s easy to keep your entire team up-to-speed using this powerful platform.
4. Basecamp
Basecamp is another popular project management platform designed specifically for teams that need to collaborate online. With it you can create projects, add team members and assign them tasks, create “to-do” lists, attach files to tasks or projects, and keep track of progress. Plus, it has a built-in chat app so you can stay in touch with your teammates in real time. And Basecamp integrates with other apps like Dropbox and GitHub so that you can easily collaborate on work outside of its platform as well.
5. Wrike
Wrike is another project management tool that focuses on helping team members organize their work into different projects and manage their collaboration more effectively using folders and tags. You can also use Wrike’s task dependencies feature to help ensure things get done in the right order (and on time). It even includes a time tracking feature you can use to keep tabs on the amount of work everyone’s doing. And, similar to other project management tools, Wrike integrates with different apps and services so that you can easily collaborate with your teammates regardless of where they are working from.
6. WorkFlowy
WorkFlowy is an online outliner tool designed for teams who want to organize their tasks into lists (or “bullet journals”) and then assign each list to a different team member or department. You can even assign due dates to each task in your workflow, and create recurring tasks so that nothing falls through the cracks. And since it’s built for easy collaboration, you can share any content that you’ve created with other team members who need access to the same tasks in order to get them done.
7. Asana
Asana is a popular project management tool that allows you to organize tasks into projects and track their progress as they move through different stages of completion. You can associate multiple people with each task, add notes or attachments, and create dependencies between tasks to help ensure things get done on time. And since Asana integrates with other tools and services, such as Slack and Dropbox, you can easily collaborate with your teammates to get things done faster.
8. Podio
Podio is another team collaboration platform that allows you to organize your work into different “apps” so people can easily stay up-to-date on the status of projects or tasks assigned to them. With it, you can create a custom project management app for any process using templates that include task and proposal submission forms, as well as issue tracking tools. And since it integrates with other apps like Dropbox and Evernote, users can keep their entire workflow in one place without having to switch between platforms when collaborating with teammates.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are many different tools available today to help businesses and their team members get work done on a regular basis. And even though no two teams use the same set of tools, it’s important to know what they all do in order to decide which tool or combination of tools is best for your business needs. So whether you’re looking for a tool that helps organize your content into an easy-to-use platform like JIRA or Trello, or simply need one that helps keep your workflow top of mind using Asana or Podio, there is undoubtedly something out there that will be able to help.
