Different project management tools work well depending on the size of your team, the complexity of your projects, and how many integrations you rely on. In our experience working with distributed development teams (including setups similar to what we use at Your Team in India), the following options tend to work best:

1. Jira
Jira is one of the most flexible tools for engineering teams handling multiple projects. It supports custom workflows, detailed sprint planning, automation rules, and integrates with tools like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, and CI/CD pipelines.
It’s a solid choice if you need granular issue tracking or are following Scrum/Kanban.

2. ClickUp
ClickUp works well when teams want one tool to manage tasks, docs, roadmaps, and reporting. It offers strong cross-project visibility, and integrations are straightforward (GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, etc.).
It’s useful for teams juggling client projects + internal tasks.

3. Asana
Asana is easier for non-technical stakeholders while still supporting developer workflows. It offers good timeline views, workload management, and integration with tools like Slack, GitHub, and cloud services.

4. Trello
Trello is lightweight and works well for smaller teams or projects that don’t require heavy sprint management. Power-Ups allow integrations with GitHub, Bitbucket, Jenkins, and more.

5. Linear
Linear is popular with modern engineering teams because of its clean interface and fast workflow. Integrates with GitHub and Vercel, making it ideal for product-focused teams.

How to choose:

• If you need advanced workflows → Jira

• If you want an all-in-one workspace → ClickUp

• If your team includes non-tech members → Asana

• For simple boards → Trello

• For fast, streamlined dev cycles → Linear

Ultimately, the “best” tool depends on how complex your workflow is and how deeply your processes rely on integrations. Most dev teams handling multiple projects use Jira or ClickUp because they scale better as integrated ecosystems grow.
