Collaboration tools
Here's a list of technologies that we prefer to use based on this scale:
Experimental - We're still playing around with this, and we feel very optimistic about it. Try it out!
Recommended - We'd use this hotness on all projects if we can!
Good - It's still a good choice, but consider better solutions for newer projects.
Sunsetting - We maintain projects with these, but don't start new projects with this anymore.
Avoid - Our poor experience with this tell us to stay away unless absolutely necessary.
Project management
Jira
Jira is a project management tool that's flexible enough to accomode just about every project's needs. It's a great choice for managing sprints. `Recommended`
Trello
Trello is good for very small projects. However, consider Jira if you're going to do sprints—Trello's limited featureset can be difficult to scale with. `Sunsetting`
Pivotal Tracker
We've used Pivotal Tracker in the past, but we've come to outgrow many of its features. Jira is a more flexible choice for us. `Avoid`
Communication
Slack
We've been using Slack to facilitate our communication, both in-the-office and remote. It's an indispensable tool for our day-to-day work. `Recommended`
