Ask HN: What are you using for project management?

2 points by whalesalad 2y ago

We use Notion as the source of truth for virtually everything in our organization right now. It does a lot of things ok, but it doesn't do any one thing particularly well. - Jira sucks - Asana sucks What is the new hotness or upstart in this space that is worth taking for a spin? We use a combination of lowercase agile and kanban.

Have you tried https://linear.app/ https://linear.app/ already? There's also the Github Projects refresh: https://github.com/features/issues https://github.com/features/issues (I don't know what it's called now, they keep rebranding it with confusing generic terms, but it's a different UI than just the "Issues" tab in a repo)

JIRA is overkill. Excess features, especially bullshit metrics, are detrimental. They encourage lazy thinking. Project viability is either very simple: "Is this still what we want?" or more complex than most Agile tools support and you need Real Options Analysis or maybe a simpler decision tree analysis of project investment and outcome value. Velocity is meaningless. I prefer Github project boards unless a project can justify a specific need for more features. That said, most of my clients use JIRA.
