Slack and Asana are completely different, I'm not sure how you can say they accomplish the same thing. Slack is a group chat and Asana is for task management. My company actually uses both, and Asana is integrated with Slack. We can create Asana tasks directly from a Slack conversation and assign them to someone. As a software developer, ideally I want to be using Jira. We're a small company of 8 and decided we neede…

I'm in the same boat as the parent: ALL my clients use Slack, and none of them wanted to use Asana, so I gave up. Sure, Asana does task management... but that's about all it does. Slack is a lot more casual, and you can create channels for each project and have conversations there about who will be doing which task. Internally, we actually use Trello for task management. Honestly, it's far superior to Asana in terms…

Agreed - I about the ease of use - example:

Yesterday, I logged back into to look at their new UI (which is very pretty) and it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to remove someone from the workspace

Trello doesn't have the design that Asana has, but it gets the done. You can also add task lists using markdown in Github issues, which is my personal favorite.

> Does anyone really like their project management software? I've been a JIRA user for 10 years+. Flirted with Redmine, Asana, Trello, Pivotal. Recently Atlassian pushed me over the edge, and I've started migrating my projects to YouTrack. Really impressed so far; been using it with one project for about 4 weeks. I haven't come across a "how do I..." yet that doesn't have an answer.

What was the problem you had with Atlassian, if you don't mind sharing?

They ditched the version summary report in version 7. That's really core to efficient navigation of sprints if not using Jira Agile. The product manager who I complained to clearly isn't thinking about the needs of non Jira Agile users.
