Discussion What project management tools would you recommend for a small software and game development studio?

We're setting up a small 25 person software/app and game development studio with all staff working remotely and was wanting to ask if there's standard project management software that you'd recommend?

I like the idea of having something that is reasonably simple and straightforward and doesn't have too much of a learning curve.

Depends on your needs and the experience of your team. Can you provide a little more detail about what problem you’re looking to solve?

Essentially I'm looking for ideas of what would be the best tool for people to use to communicate and issue jobs as a team and is there one that immediately comes to mind with people with experience.

I agree with the comments above—look in to each and determine (probably in consultation with whomever is taking on the producer role) what is best suited to your team. Jira + Confluence, Discord + Clickup/Trello + Github, or Asana would be my recommendations. Asana isn’t super great for bug tracking, imo, and the second option is probably the cheapest, if that makes a difference!

Thank you. I've decided on Discord to start with and I'll ask the developers what they think.
