For us, the key was to build a simple Jira alternative. A good PM tool should do the basics, and get out of the way.
Personal opinion, so many PM tools tend to be bloated and each view ends up causing more mental overload for the team, EM and PM.

If you want "simple" there are already a thousand and one options available, but alternatives to Jira are extremely rare. This is how Atlassian captured the market. So in my opinion you should really change your marketing, as it is it really gives off a false advertising vibe.

- mrweasel 6y agoCRM, service desk, CMDB, trouble ticket, tickets in general, we just don’t use it to manage project. We have tried things like the Kanban board, but it’s not all that good. Our PM find it easier to keep the tasks in Jira, but do the planning i MS Project
