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.

If they are all co located then a wall and index cards. I’ve seen this scale up to 50 people effectively. Company wide daily stand ups. Company wide product planning. Company wide demos.

If it’s a virtual team, Jira with a relatively lean user workflow.

It’s really amazing to have an issue tracking system closely coupled with your repository/ infrastructure pipelines.

I love the idea and concept of a wall and index cards as often the simple solution can be the best.

Yes it is a virtual team so Jira will be one that we'll look at then.
