This is what I know:

1 - User Friendly is relative to what background you are coming from. I am not familiar with Azure. It sounds like you may be the Project Manager. I have used both Jira and Asana. I think Jira feels and looks more simple. Jira is more Project and software-dev oriented. Asana is more general, not to say it isn't designed to handle a development project. I think your decision is going to come down to: *Who is currently using what? *How is it going to be to get the individual outliers to adopt a new management style? Some will adapt and some will refuse. 2 - I believe they all have a level of automation 3 - I know Asana will let you tag and prioritize. Jira will allow you to prioritize, tag, make teams, and separate the projects by teams if you like. 4 - Again you can create teams and you can control the team visibility to projects. 5 - I know Jira will allow you to create a human resource with a burndown. 6 - Jira can assign tasks, projects, etc. to individual team members. 7 - With Jira comes Confluence. Here you can keep lots of support documentation. They have lots of templates that can be used as well. 8 - Jira does allow a lot of integration. It is designed for Product and Project management of HR and Software. If software devs didn't see a robust integration feature they would be very disappointed.

JIRA is the clear choice for you based on your use case. JIRA has been around for more than 15 years and they defintly are pioneer in this field. JIRA will perfectly match up with your use cases (data governance compliance, etc.). JIRA can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. You can choose one of the starter templates or build a custom transition with a dedicated workflow for each. If done correctly, even though the first step takes time, it makes life much easier for everyone in the end. I don't work for JIRA just a big fan!

Hey,

I used Monday.com and Asana, but not Quip. I think Monday.com is more visual than Asana. And my recommendation is to check their templates and videos for your industry, they have very good materials that can get you started. And then you can use a bot to keep the track of your daily progress: * Monday.com bot for Slack - you can create tasks directly from Slack, or get notifications. or * Orli.ai for Discord - it is a daily standup bot that integrates with Monday.com, so every morning you can see in Discord the list of your tasks from Monday.com and plan your day, and Orli shares it with the team and keeps everything up to date. So you don't need get distracted by getting on Monday.com and do some other things. And what's cool is that the support team is very helpful and you can ask for the features you need.

Cheers, Anca

Hello Anthony,

If you want to replace those 2 tools which are completely different from the use case, I think I will suggest Asana if you want something cheap and Monday if you want something more visual but a little bit more expensive. I agree with Slack. Slack is to communicate and you can integrate tasks and reminders there from the Project Management Tool but it is not a place to work on the tasks. And Jira is really powerful and complex. I think you will like Asana if you want something easy and Monday if you want something more visual. I didn't use Quip for a long time but I don't think will be an option in this case if you want something simpler, easy and cheaper.

Another option for me is Noton which is easy and simple too because connects very well with documentation.

I hope you found useful this recommendation.

All the best,

Karen, you can accomplish that with any of the three tools (I'm currently using all three). It depends on the user experience and the capabilities you're looking for. Here's a high-level rundown:

• stands out for being simple, visually oriented drag-and-drop
• of the three, it's more minimalist but still flexible
• the more advanced features are free & paid add ons from Trello & other developers
• best when you need something quick and simple, and more visual

• great for more robust project management
• you can manage tasks in different views including lists, kanban board similar to trello, and gantt chart
• best when you need more control over the tasks and how your process is set up

• intends to be a replacement for many different tools, including asana & trello
• loaded with features, can do pretty much everything that trello & asana do
• highly customizable but it may take some time go set it up the way you want it
• the myriad of options could get confusing, but they provide a lot of templates (including a CRM template) and support tools to get you going faster

Ultimately you choice comes down to how much detail & control you want over your process (dates, categories, client information etc.) and how you want your team to work with the tool (simple drag & drop vs. structured lists). One idea is to start with Trello since it's the simplest, and migrate to one of the others if you outgrow it.

Hope that helps! If you have any follow-up questions please let us know!

I just switched to ClickUp for my development agency - I am the product team, and I relay everything there betwixt designers, devs, and clients.

Clickup = Jira + Confluence but better - more ways to slice and dice your data & documents, make custom views, mind map relationships, and track people's work, plan goals... I even use it to manage project finances and household to-dos.

They have a very comprehensive free tier that never expires, and on top of that they're extremely generous with trials of their paid features, have more-than-fair pricing, and top-notch customer support.
