I wholeheartedly recommend WorkFlowy - https://workflowy.com https://workflowy.com For me, its focus on text and deep hierarchical breakdown, in combination with tagging is potent. You may need to figure out your own way to adapt to your PM style though. For example, some common tags I use are "#next", "#someday", "#2018-02-08" and such.

the landing page is horrible though. Literally no informations apart from "these guys use it"

  To be fair, there's an embedded demo + tutorial that gives you a pretty good idea what it is and how it works: https://workflowy.com/demo/embed/ https://workflowy.com/demo/embed/

It is good for Personal Workflows but lacks any feature that Org-agenda offers. It is a dumb down org-mode for web.

  Its available everywhere and is smoother to use than org agenda. Org + fold comes close and I did use it for some time, but WF got me into the zone more easily than org.

    Apologies for procrastinating earlier, just went through Workflowy's documentation this morning. It does have some scheduling features still lacks reminders though which we can easily program in org-mode. All in all it could be used for project management for teams provided they give support for github which seems unlikely since their focus is to be as generic as possible.

If you like this I'd recommend giving dynalist a try. It's like workflowy, but less purist, with enough bells and whistles to really make it viable day to day.

I second Workflowy for reference, but I'd suggest using something else for todos. Having commitments and reference separated was a game changer for me coming from a GTD workflow without a dedicated reference tool. Personally I use OmniFocus for commitments, but that's neither particularly cheap or simple. If you're doing client work or have other external stakeholders involved I'd recommend trello to keep things simple and transparent.

  The problem with WF is external stake holders. While subtrees can be shared for read-only or edit, that makes me sorely miss change tracking. Basically I don't want to lose a history, period. So mostly I use it in solo mode. But I do have a system that lets me use WF as reference as well as for task tracking and PM.
