This may not be a popular opinion lately, but Jira is still the most useful from my experience for Software Development and role-based projects with Agile. It keeps the standards high in terms of functionalities and integrations, although that is changing fast.

Our team finds Shortcut much more useful, however, due to the cross-functional teams and responsibilities we have on our projects. It offers better flexibility to combine views with the use of filters, which eliminates board switching and improves the focus. The UX is also smooth. It's a relatively new tool, so the list of features and integrations could be longer.

@stefani_kovachevska Agreed. A well configured JIRA account runs circles around a lot of other tools. However, the issue I've found is that often times the larger companies that tend to use JIRA don't hand over the reins of to the people actually using the tool or invest in teaching them to customize it

Abhi S · Answer

From those I've tried:

Linear is fantastic. Super fast, slick and great UX.

Trello isn't good when the number of projects isn't too high, otherwise gets a bit messy.

Asana is great for QA and threads, but can be a bit overwhelming at times.

Johannes Karjula · Answer

Trello is very popular in Finland that it is often chosen because it is already familiar to those participating in the projects.

Answer

Let me go first - it's Linear

Linear is a delightful product. 
- 10x faster
- Keyboard first design
- Beautiful design aesthetics.
- It's a perfect tool in terms of solving problems that sits between - Trello and JIRA.

We use Basecamp and love it overall. Our biggest frustration is working with the big picture or cross-project management. What happens if we move a project? Is there room to squeeze in a new project in May?

So....we're now working on something to solve our problems :) https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/burndown

Stefani Kovachevska · Answer

@product_at_producthunt True, Jira requires management efforts and it's a shame that organizations fail to see its value due to the lack of time invested in onboarding.

Trello is the simplest for me to use 😀
