Software development projects nowadays are becoming more and more complex and aim to deliver products with lots of features. Managing such projects can be easier once you choose suitable issue tracking and project management tools.
There are many solutions available on the market: JIRA Software, aha.io, Basecamp or Trello. They can all support a wide range of software development projects. Obviously, each tool has its pros and cons but my personal favorite is JIRA Software created by Atlassian.
Unfortunately, choosing the right software is not enough. You also need to configure it properly for your project. To be honest, this is not an easy task, especially if you have just started working with this kind of tool. Most probably, many iterations will be required before your teammates find the usability of the tool acceptable.
Working with JIRA for some time I’ve learned how you can adjust it to improve processes and increase performance for certain actions. In this article, I would like to share a few ‘quick win’ ideas that are easy to implement.
