another vote for excel here, except make sure it is fully distributed and there isn't any sort of old fashioned 'master' spreadsheet also no one except new hires should even look at the bug tracker

I'm curious, what's the most enterprise-y of enterprise project management software packages and does it have the words "oracle" or "sap" in its name?

we use jira and it seems pretty fine. I mostly just file bugs and tasks in it and the PM who actually knows how to use it buckets things into sprints. I feel like a good reason to hate jira is that its built to suit just about any model of project management and so its really easy to be inconsistent but idk suits my needs also it is slow

we used JIRA at my dumb game job and it was crazy first of all they had at least 2 different installs of JIRA. apparently they could link together somehow, but one was a different version with different settings and stuff. it was really slow and we had to set up our dashboards so none of the widgets automatically refreshed cause apparently that really taxed the server. it went down all the time or took 5 minutes to load a page for hours at a time. they also had zero integrations and everything was through email. so no Slack notifications or GitHub integration, so once you push a change, you have to go manually leave comment, which is usually just "done". as a QA we had not access to their git messages or anything so had no idea if the dev was really done or did the right thing or how they fixed/made it. i asked them to let us get the web hooks so we could get notifications and things and the answer was flat-out "no", because "it would have to be company wide, we'd have to get everyone to use the same service and pay for it" which makes no sense to me. apparently they switched from another app years ago. i asked why, assuming some super nerd wanted the 10,000 Power User features and depth that JIRA has but nope, it was just cheaper. seriously can you imagine not at least integrating your version control thing with it, i mean why not just use a whiteboard at that point.

excel works up until a point until someone like me comes along charged with centralizing your project management and it's revealed you all have your own bespoke loving sheets and half of what happens still relies on stuff you "just know" and it's actually a miracle anything has been getting done. i have had nightmares about trying to harmonize sheets into a system within single departments, let alone big companies.

im only a poor student, but my weekly meetings with my project supervisor is the most stressful part of the week. and depending on how it goes it can put me in a bad mood for half the week, and then the other half of the week is spent worrying about the next one

the project managers at my job are worthless. they always want to put everything in a spreadsheet. all our stuff is in gitlab's issue tracker already, so we are like "hey man, we've given you access to the issue tracker where we log everything we've done and what we're going to do next", and they're like "ok maan tell me the things and I will put it in the spreadsheet." *stereotypical indian head bobbing*. they're completely detached from the whole process.

My company is starting to migrate over to jive now though for some loving reason and they want me running projects through jive by creating creating new grps per project and using the action and task function to assign poo poo to do and track progress. They also want documents n pdfs n forms uploaded so there are like a trillion files floating around a project grp which fuckin sucks but at least they are all synced bc we have jive for ms office now and we can collaborate on documents and stuff and keep everyone on the most updated version of things

Are all the people saying excel referring to a file that gets emailed around, or does excel have some kind of functioning cloud storage/collaborative editing thing nowadays? context: we use gdocs for basically everything. boss still uses excel for tracking whatever he wants personally, but at least he doesn't inflict it on the rest of us. e: is the jira kanban thing any/wildly different then the sprint board you get with Jira Agile? I've never officially done kanban but from what I can tell it's the same thing?
