JIRA/confluence alternative

Question

Please tell me what kind of programs you use insted of JIRA/confluence. I don't like jira because the design is so Java style. For example I like the PivotalTracker for tracking fresh projects.

What do you suggest? THX!

Solution 1

Phabricator is a suite of web applications that help software companies communicate about software effectively. It was created at Facebook. Didn't try it yet, but looks like a good option.

Solution 2

For Project Management, Trello is a sweet free alternative, albeit with much fewer features.

For sharing files with the team, Google Drive is a good option (the shared folders feature is awesome).

For VCS+more, you can use something simple like Github, or more powerful tools like Redmine or Kiln.

A quick search on Google gets you more quasi-interesting projects:

• FogBugz (Fog Creek software, again)
• Gemini
• Squish
• Bontq
• Elementool
• YouTRACK (from the lovely chaps who make InteliJ IDEA)
• Lighthouse
• The Bug Genie

Solution 3

personally i like http://leankitkanban.com for my project/ task tracking and i use http://pbworks.com for my wiki at work

i think its complete personal taste though

Solution 4

Redmine is a good alternative. It combines wiki and issue tracker pretty well.

Solution 5

Try with Fusion Forge is nice http://www.fusionforge.org/ works for me..

We use Phabricator at work - the performance is blazing, it has awesome code review, tight integration with git, task management, projects (grouping tasks with priority) and lots more besides. I highly recommend it.

Nope. I hate Gemini myself.

Wow. That looks pretty nice. Can't believe I haven't heard of it before!
