6 JIRA Alternatives for Your Dev Team

1

Jira

Well, JIRA does have a few drawbacks. For one thing, a lot of the functions some teams might consider essential to their workflow are not included in the basic JIRA product; they require add-ons. Knowledge base management requires the Confluence add-on; code repositories require Stash; agile development requires JIRA Agile; and so on.

Assembla

Assembla offers many functions right out-of-the-box that JIRA requires as an add-on, including subversion and git hosting, code deployment, agile tools, time tracking, and social media-style collaboration (message boards, @mentions, activity stream). The greatest irony is that Assembla is actually less expensive.

Axosoft

Axosoft is specifically marketed as an agile/scrum project management tool for software development teams. Where Assembla and JIRA place an emphasis on issue tracking, Axosoft focuses more on building software and getting it out on time through release planning and project analytics (burndown charts, velocity measurement). In “daily standup” mode, Axosoft can even predict a ship date for your project based on current progress and velocity.
