Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • even the most dumbed down PM software like Asana would make a team’s life 400x easier if they’d only take a day to learn to use it.
  • In terms of Project Management tools, I only use Asana. I've tried the ones you mentioned, and I find Asana is the most straightforward and the one what doesn't overcomplicate things (Notion for example). The app has most features as the...
  • I prefer Asana (free version) for recurring work tasks.
  • Asana is our bible. Everything is a task with a clear owner and a hard deadline.
  • We use Asana not sure if its been 6 years and iv been institutionalised but we use it for sprints and some time recording (we use a legacy crm for that, dont ask). If you get savvy with its rules its pretty decent.

Cons

  • None of them feel like they fully fit the bill (or perhaps I'm not using them as effectively as I could?)
  • Should be able to assign without notifications, I think ClickUp and Asana call them "Watchers".
  • Besides Trello and ClickUp, check out VaultBook, Notion, Obsidian (with Kanban-style plugins), or Asana.
  • having tried Asana and various other tools, I find Notion to be fantastic.
  • We tried Asana, Harvest, Clickup, Coda, Kantata and more, at the end building a learning and documenting organisation is gold

A previous dev team I was in used Notion, another Asana, another Trello, but it's fine nothing sensitive ever is really leaked.

My team wants to move away from paid tools but most open source PM options feel dated or abandoned.
