This time I will talk more about project management software for agile development – I have selected 9 software that are popular in the world and also have a free version, some poorer, some more generous:<\/p>\n
There are thousands of tools that support agile software development, and it is important to make a wise choice. On the one hand, it must be ensured that the software does not remain a so-called narrow shoe and does not start inhibiting the agile mindset and culture. On the other hand, it is important that the software does not overwhelm users with irrelevant functionality that the team never plans to use in their work. <\/p>\n
Before delving into the topic, it is good to recall the principle from the Agile Software Development Manifesto<\/a>:<\/p>\n “We have started to value people and the communication between them more than processes and development tools.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In other words, in an agile mindset, people are always more important than tools.<\/p>\n The selection of project management software suitable for agile development is wide and rich, and there are also free versions for small teams.<\/p>\n Minimum expectations for agile project management software could be: <\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”jira” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”96fa8149-2d7e-4fe7-bc52-734658dc4791″ link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Atlassian Jira<\/a> is considered the most common project management software in the world based on the number of users. Jira is also the most common in Estonia. Jira supports all agile development methodologies, including Scrum and Kanban, and you can also freely define a project workflow for another development methodology. Jira is often used in conjunction with Confluence software, which is designed to build wiki-style<\/em> sites and store documentation, manuals, etc. Jira is suitable for both small teams and large corporations, both development and maintenance projects. Today, Jira is free for up to 10 users, including an unlimited number of projects, all basic functionality, and integrations.<\/strong> Jira is often referred to as the de facto<\/em> standard for software development, but at the same time, it is not a real monopoly – there are enough other big players on the market (e.g. Rally, Trello) and completely new solutions are constantly being added.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/agilecoach.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Joonis-1-Jira-Sprint-Board.png” title_text=”Figure 1 Jira Sprint Board” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Georgia||||||||” text_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1em” link_font=”Georgia||||||||” link_text_color=”#f36337″ link_font_size=”25px” ul_font=”Georgia||||||||” ul_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” header_font=”Georgia|700|||||||” header_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” header_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”Georgia|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” header_2_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_font=”Georgia|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.8em” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||40px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”19px” text_font_size_phone=”17px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”19px” link_font_size_phone=”17px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_size_tablet=”25px” header_font_size_phone=”22px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_2_font_size_phone=”18px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”19px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Jira Sprint Board<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”rally” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”96fa8149-2d7e-4fe7-bc52-734658dc4791″ link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Rally<\/a> (formerly CA Agile Central) is a software with a long history and has defined itself as suitable for large corporations, being extremely functional and competing with Jira in the market. Previously, Rally was free for up to 10 users, but today’s pricing policy has become non-transparent and limited. The rally is free for up to 50 users in 21 countries, and for some reason Estonia is not one of those countries.<\/strong> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/agilecoach.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Joonis-2-Rally-Board.png” alt=”Rally Board” title_text=”Rally Board” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Georgia||||||||” text_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1em” link_font=”Georgia||||||||” link_text_color=”#f36337″ link_font_size=”25px” ul_font=”Georgia||||||||” ul_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” header_font=”Georgia|700|||||||” header_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” header_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”Georgia|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.8)” header_2_line_height=”1.8em” header_3_font=”Georgia|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”25px” header_3_line_height=”1.8em” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||40px||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”19px” text_font_size_phone=”17px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”19px” link_font_size_phone=”17px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_font_size_tablet=”25px” header_font_size_phone=”22px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_2_font_size_phone=”18px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”19px” header_3_font_size_phone=”17px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Rally Board<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”pivotaltracker” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”96fa8149-2d7e-4fe7-bc52-734658dc4791″ link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Like the previous ones, Pivotal Tracker<\/a> is a widely used software with a lot of features.

Asana has a modern and intuitive user interface and is easy to use. Asana includes convenient roadmaps, but by default, some of the features that are important for an agile team are missing, such as rating, voting, agile progress graphs, and reports. Some of them can be added with the help of external application integrations, but this in turn increases the cost of the monthly fee.

Jira – Market Leader<\/h2>\n
In addition to its wide functionality, Jira’s strength is its integrations with thousands of applications, which are essential for creating an efficient and comprehensive work environment. The disadvantages of Jira are considered to be the relatively high price and confusing user interface. Jira is constantly working on the latter, and an experienced master user can configure the entire standard user interface to suit their team. <\/p>\nRally – for large companies<\/h2>\n
Due to the high licensing fees, Rally is not the most suitable option for a small business.<\/p>\nPivotal Tracker – well thought out<\/h2>\n
Asana – simple and convenient<\/h2>\n
Asana is free for up to 15 users and is a perfectly reasonable choice for smaller teams. <\/strong><\/p>\nGitLab – fast-growing freeware<\/h2>\n
Trello \u2013 also suitable for business people<\/h2>\n
Trello’s free plan will probably be too small for a demanding agile development team due to functionality limitations, but it’s enough for freelancers and project managers in other fields, with 10 free boards.<\/strong> Trello is well suited for small businesses for job management, and the paid plans are also affordable.<\/p>\nGitScrum – a new awesome player<\/h2>\n
Miro – more than just a whiteboard<\/em><\/h2>\n
Miro has a large number of agile development design templates, see https:\/\/miro.com\/templates\/agile\/<\/a>, built-in Kanban workflow, and there are integrations with Jira and Asana.
The free plan has unlimited users and 3 boards, the paid plans are perfectly affordable for small businesses ($40\/month for 5 users).<\/strong> <\/p>\n
