Background
We need a tool for project management to keep track of who is doing what and when. Aligns with the Agile and Scrum methodology.
Relevant Data
We want something simple and easy to use.
Options Considered
Jira
Positives:
- Feature rich
- Integration with GitHub
- Integration with Confluence
- Industry standard
Negatives:
- Perhaps a bit bloated
- Learning curve
- Not free for all features
GitHub Projects
Positives:
- Direct integration with GitHub
- Still relatively feature rich
Negatives:
- Learning curve
- Relatively new (Released in 2024)
- Not specifically tailored for the Scrum / Agile workflow, but can be made to do so (see Scrum with GitHub Projects)
Action items
- [m] Check with Harry that using GitHub projects is OK.
Outcome
We will be using GitHub projects.
- Unlike Jira, Projects is not commonly used on an industry scale, but has many similar core features and should be effective for a small team of 5
- (Hopefully) easier to learn
