Task Tracking Tools for Small Development Teams

A problem that I had when looking for task tracking tools a while back is that the majority are just more complicated than I needed. I needed the equivalent of a whiteboard list on a website.

So I made a nifty little thing I called Millwright [http://thelinell.com/Millwright/]. It's certainly not as "fully featured" as the trackers on this list, but that's why I like it. It's ridiculously simple so that you can focus on the tasks instead of the process.

Why not Trello or Pintask? They are both whiteboard lists.

They also allow you to have checklists right on the board.

I miss http://kunagi.org/ on that list. It's the best ever tool for SCRUM teams and it's open source. With public issue tracking, stories, tasks, burn-down chart, powerful search, real time interaction etc.

Surprising enough, GitHub is not on the list. We have been using a combination of GitHub with Asana, and it has been doing wonders for us. We can even use a third party burnchart generator to get charts directly from our GitHub issues.

GitHub is listed on a different list, the link is under Basecamp's intro.

JetBrains has really nice tracking tool - youtrack[http://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/] - free up to 10 people.
