## How to choose a project management tool

The category covers two different problems. **Work management** tracks tasks,
owners, and dates across a team, and suits marketing, ops, and agency work.
**Issue tracking** models software delivery — backlogs, sprints, releases,
dependencies — and suits engineering. A tool built for one is usually frustrating
for the other, and the frustration shows up as people quietly reverting to
spreadsheets.

A third group, **planning and roadmapping**, is for communicating upward rather
than coordinating work. Buy it separately, and only once someone is actually
asking for the roadmap.

### What to check before you commit

- **How much configuration is required before it is useful.** Highly customisable
  tools are a project in themselves, and that project is rarely staffed.
- **Whether updates happen where the work happens.** Integration with your code
  host or chat tool decides whether the board reflects reality or becomes a second
  job.
- **Reporting that answers a real question.** Burndown charts are easy; "what is
  blocked and who is waiting" is the one people actually ask.
- **Guest and client access**, if you work with people outside the company —
  per-seat pricing for a client who checks in monthly adds up fast.

### What to watch for

The failure mode here is process theatre: a beautifully configured workspace that
nobody updates, producing reports that are confidently wrong. Prefer the simplest
tool that captures your real workflow, and treat any required field as a tax on
every future task. Check the export path too — task history, comments, and
attachments should all come with you, because a migration that loses the
discussion loses the reasoning behind every decision.
