Used PivotalTracker a while ago and liked it much more than JIRA. Trello will get you pretty far. If you're using Github, Github issues and all their PM tooling look feasible and I like the idea of code/PM living in the same place/tool.

#72I cant beleive nobody mentioned Redmine (foss). Its the best tool for that purpose out there that can run hundreeds of projects with thosands of users without a hitch. You can customize it to extreme with plugins to look whatever you like but even clot instance is very capable. Its extremelly stable and secure too. Cant recommend it highly enough.
Gitlab iz alternative too but most of it is complete DevOps platform with lots of opionions you may not want or like many of which are not customizable. Redmine has thousands of plugins and its focus is project management, not necesserally development projects too, you can even use it as service desk for end users.

#73You can get reasonably far with Trello, if all you're doing is item tracking. If you're trying to do anything more than a free-for-all workflow, or wanting to do reporting, it's less good.
https://restya.com/board is open source Trello alternative
Thanks for the link to that -- I've been looking for something like this too!

#74I've used Phabricator ( https://github.com/phacility/phabricator ) for years. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's robust, straightforward and well maintained.
I actually tried to get Phabricator up and running not long ago -- the main issue I have with it is that it seems to need a server (at least a database server) all to itself. It's probably a resolvable issue using some kind of container, but it scared me off a little bit.

#75I would suggest https://notion.so. It's not an open source product but I like their UX approach

#76- Try clubhouse.io
- If Jira is settled in the org and there's virtually no way of getting rid of it, then use tools like go-jira. I was skeptical at first, as it turned out - Jira's UI is bulky and slow, its API is not so horrendous.

#77Has anyone tried: Freshrelease https://www.freshworks.com/agile-project-management-software...
It's buggy and not production ready

#78just stumbled upon https://quire.io

#79Earlier quoted context omitted.
+1 on Trello. I'm a Scrum Master and we use it in our current team (~10 devs). I miss the reporting JIRA has tbh, but we get along just fine using workarounds (estimating in cards, etc). Good luck!
Why not use pivotal tracker then? It is trello + estimation.
Ohh, I didn't know about this - thanks for the heads up!
