Where are the most popular alternatives to Jira?

Linear is great if you fit into its workflow. It's very dev orientated.

I work on Aha! Develop https://www.aha.io/develop/overview which I obviously think is a great tool, especially if you're a team with a product manager.

Have you tried nothing at all? Had great success with this on a 150+ dev team. Much preferred to jira. Admittedly does require a different approach to work than a jira-centric team is going to be familiar with.

		I 100%, sincerely agree that "nothing at all" is really a great option compared to Jira. I actually hired a whole person onto my project to make them responsible for ticket tracking, telling them they could use whatever they wanted so long as I never had to look at Jira again. They used Jira for a while because it's what other people were pressuring them to use, but ultimately they started using MS Planner. MS Planner! I mean, Planner is garbage too, but at least it's not Jira.

The problem is "no one was ever fired for choosing Jira" (or Confluence). I can't imagine there is a single company that would keep using those products the moment some alternative exists that managers dare to switch to without the slightest risk of having to explain to their managers why they didn't just go with the "industry standards".

I do not understand why Jetbrains Youtrack is not more widely used. It's affordable, supports markdown, has a better vcs integration, fast & easy API...

I like Clickup's way of allowing arbitrarily nested subtasks and easily promoting/demoting a task across levels, without having this hard distinction that Jira has between levels. I understand that some coporate managers like the rigidity, but in practice, it's just very hard to know the scope of a story early on, and I found this flexibility really valuable.

I don't know if it's "popular", but I use Clickup at work and I think it's generally fine. At least when I have used it it's less laggy and horrible than Jira.

		Second this. Funnily, their AI is pretty good... recently I accidentally created a dupe ticket; linear AI realized that, labeled it as a dupe instantly after I created an issue. Fuck JIRA and confluence to hell.

I'm interested in OSS alternatives, even if not as popular.

Excel spreadsheets, because that's what every project manager ends up using to actually get work done.

What do you need out of Jira? Most any firm I’ve worked for could replace it with Trello or any Kanban style tool in a heartbeat.

		It's worth pointing out that Trello has been owned by Atlassian since 2017.
