Affordable Project Management Tools for Small Bootstrapped Teams
Asked by
CuriousCat27
I'm part of a five-person bootstrapped startup, and we're trying to keep our costs low while still getting some basic project management in place. I'm looking for recommendations on tools that are affordable or even free, as we don't want to spend $20 per user each month. What are some good options for small teams?
Answers
There are quite a few tools, but many charge per user. If you want to keep costs down, consider buying a PM script from themeforest and self-hosting. For a basic option, you could even try building a simple tool using sitegui.app; they have demos to test out.

Kanban boards are quite useful! You can easily use them for free on platforms like Trello, Miro, or even JIRA, which has free options too.

I highly recommend Trello! It's an excellent starting point for project management. When I led a team of three, we found it super effective for keeping everything organized without breaking the bank.

I've been using JIRA for my teams, and their free plan has everything we need. It integrates well with GitHub, Teams, and even time tracking tools like Clockify.
