We are looking for a task management / tracking platform for a small team.

Many companies go with Atlassian's JIRA because of wide adoption, large degree of customization, built in issue query language (JQL), and integration into other good Atlassian products such as their wiki Confluence, or their VCS BitBucket.

Commercial companies ok with not self-hosting their issue tracking have other options. One of the better ones is Trello, made by FogCreek software, the same folks that brought you Stack Overflow. They also have a self-hosted solution called FogBugz that is very high quality from what I've heard, but doesn't have a huge amount of adoption in the companies I've worked at.

One thing to consider is whether the product matches your workflow. Are you more Kanban, or Scrum, or something else? Trello is great for a Kanban style issue management, but doesn't have the issue track specific advanced features that JIRA does, e.g. JQL.

FYI, Trello is now owned by Atlassian. Luckily they haven't made any real changes to it since buying it from FogCreek so far.

I've been quite happy with http://clubhouse.io/

It's more or less Trello++, striking the right balance between simplicity and power.
